Romney Agrees With Obama: Government Does 'Help You In A Business'

another etch a sketch moment.

You sure you want a leader like this?

Yet an equally reasonable interpretation is that he was merely that the collective efforts of society, helps people to find themselves in a position where their hard work and ingenuity will lead to a successful outcome. You hear what you want to hear.

Once again, I give you Gaspar the Prognosticator.  Got lottery numbers too?

You need to respect the president for his words in context:

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.  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.

He said that.  You can spend the whole day trying to qualify what he meant, or what he was implying, but it does not change what he said.  In context, his goal was to illustrate how collective endeavor is more important than individual initiative.  Noting more. Nothing less.  He was not praising innovators, industrialists or successful entrepreneurs.  He was marginalizing their efforts in the shadow of government.

He was off prompter and spoke from his heart.  In context his words have the exact meaning he intended them to have.

Where is the prediction in talking about something that already happened?

No, no, no..  Your response was supposed to be:

"You just have"

Then I was going to respond with:
"You"

You started dropping words so I continued the process.  I was going to get the last word.

You're no fun.  :D
