So...tell us what you think about this quote from President Obama's speech Sunday -
“There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me because they want to give something back,” the president said. “If you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something -- there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.
“If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen,” he said. “The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.”
In other words, if you're successful, you should thank everyone else, because you did nothing ... so can we surmise that if you're a failure and you're totally dependent you have no responsibility and no accountability for failure, either?
How did this man get to be president in the first place? By his own reasoning, it was nothing he did. And will American voters give him a second undeserved term as president, too?
