"You did not build that"
Posted: Aug 16, 2012
Here's one instance of fallout from an ill-conceived statement by the president: This small business owner, who did build his business, declined the invite to have Joe Biden make a photo op stop there. Later, some of the Secret Service detail came back to thank the shop owner for not allowing the visit and bought a bunch of cupcakes and other food items. Local residents also rallied to support him and bought him out of food by early afternoon. Isn't America great? http://washingtonexaminer.com/secret-service-bought-cupcakes-to-thank-baker-for-turning-down-biden/article/2505119#.UC1FBallRD2;

Propaganda sells...lesson learned...nm - JTBB
[ In Reply To ..].
He didn't want to support Obama et.al. Why is that propaganda? - Not familiar with principles?
[ In Reply To ..]Some people really do have them.
The propaganda he's responding to...sm - JTBB
[ In Reply To ..]is the flat out Romney et al lie of "you didn't build that." It has been very well documented that Romney's commercial and what Romney himself has said about the subject was misleading, to say the least. So, in other words, Mr. Cupcake just bought into the lie (propaganda) and probably never knew any better. I guess if you say it loud and say it enough, people will take it as truth. Dust off those history books and see when and how this tactic was used and by whom.
I just slightly disagree - A Joe the Plumber moment
[ In Reply To ..]This guy just wants to make a point where he gets his 15 minutes of publicity. He was no doubt a Republican sheep before and will remain one after. Probably just like Ayn Rand, he will put down the programs that have made America great like Social Security and Medicare, but grab it when he realizes that he was wrong all along and is dying on his sick bed and needs that medical care and subsistence income.
Evidently you've not listened to the whole speech (sm) - Rose by another name
[ In Reply To ..]the more he went on, the more it was clear that that was exactly what he meant. No, you'd like to tell yourselves he meant a teacher who helped you along the way, and all that pie in the sky crap, but that's not what he said. Listen again, only try to keep your mind open this time.
Only for fine-tuned ears well versed - in the art of selective hearing,
[ In Reply To ..]an exclusive offering from Fox Community College course # FCC-PPASH.101, taught under the auspices of the School of Political Propaganda. Contact the Office of Open Enrollment (AKA Kum and Git Yur Ehjookashun) for more info on their remedial, accelerated and fast-track curricula, flexible scheduling options, and the latest tuition/fees hikes, instituted in response to Ryan's budget austerity measures (HR-Deep 6).
Unfortunately, no financial assistance is available but, in keeping with recent higher-education trends, the College's exercise of it's privilege to maintain expense curves, wider and more expansive than the Pacific Ocean, is to be expected. We reserve the right to combine class sections that enable future lay-offs of even our best instructors and professors, that may result in lecture halls filled to their 1000+ rafter capacities. Late applicants are allowed to opt for standing-room only, with extra penalty fees tacked on to encourage more timely future enrollments.
And **SNARK** starts here - Yeah, the Dems want to discuss issue **NOT**
[ In Reply To ..]Just cannot help with the sarcasm in your posts. What a turn off your posts are. Moving on to read posters that can INTELLIGENTLY, COHERENTLY, WITHOUT VILE COMMENTS discuss a post. Excludes ALL of yours.
I disagree. The snark started with Rose. - AlphaBetty
[ In Reply To ..]Just look at the time stamp.
Nope...it's all you dear or is it - **Sherlock**
[ In Reply To ..].
You don't have to be Sherlock to follow a - post, "dear."
[ In Reply To ..]x
Tell it to your **2** friends - sniff, sigh - Pesky senseless, factless Dems/Libs
[ In Reply To ..]We know you all by your "writing style". Just ask any 9-year-old.
What does the time stamp have to do with it? - nm
[ In Reply To ..]nm
It just tells you what time a post was posted - to the board. So you
[ In Reply To ..]can see who posted the snark or fact or whatever first.
agree - 5678
[ In Reply To ..]These calling-out posts are so very lame. These posters will push and shove for posts on end, but if a lib responds, they go "SNARK STARTS HERE" "MODERATOR - PERSONAL ATTACK". I wonder what would happen if we posted "DIRECT PUB QUOTE" every time we needed a reason to justify ourselves. For the purpose of this post I am changing my moniker to see what I get called.
AND ** ARTICULATE OPINING ** STARTS HERE - * YEAH *
[ In Reply To ..]...just wanted to share my own interpretation in the standard acceptable format. ;)
Evidently principles is a foregin concept to some - much like Obama and economic knowledge
[ In Reply To ..]Will never experience it in their lifetime.
And **SNARK** starts here - Yeah, the Pubs want to discuss issues **NOT** - AlphaBetty
[ In Reply To ..]It goes both ways.
Not only - Dara
[ In Reply To ..]is America great, but freedom in general is great. How blessed we are!
Just an FYI. Politifact a respected bipartisan - sm
[ In Reply To ..]political fact check site says regarding "you did not build that":
In speeches and videos, the Romney campaign has repeatedly distorted Obama's words. By plucking two sentences out of context, Romney twists the president's remarks and ignores their real meaning.
The preceding sentences make clear that Obama was talking about the importance of government-provided infrastructure and education to the success of private businesses.
Romney also conveniently ignores Obama's clear summary of his message, that "the point is ... that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together."
By leaving out the "individual initiative" reference, Romney and his supporters have misled viewers and given a false impression. For that, we rate the claim False.
Spin, a little too late - cat's out of the bag.
[ In Reply To ..]Backpedaling ;)
Yep - They sure took out of context Romney - comments about "not worrying about the poor
[ In Reply To ..]and completely left off the rest of the comment that the poor had a safety net, but if they needed ADDITIONAL help it should be made available until such they were able to stand on their own. I watched the entire interview, and Dems lied about it for weeks. Obama is the Liar in Chief..only thing Obama excels at.
False impression = lies - I would like to see Romney's tax returns
[ In Reply To ..]Somehow I just don't believe him.
I'd like to see the dog, college transcripts/thesis - support for Obama foreign travel
[ In Reply To ..]Obama passport, Obama college apps and foreign student aide account, and Obama's foreign offshore account number, and my "composite" girlfriend. Your're right, don't believe Obama.
Check with Sarah. - She can probably
[ In Reply To ..]see them from her house. They say she's got a lot of time on her hands these days after being overlooked for a key role at the RNC, so I'm sure she'd be more than happy to go dialing for transcripts, et al, using her direct line to the lord. I hear she has unlimited minutes. Isn't THAT special?
BTW, recent polls show that 62% of all us "small-minded" voters out here (off Mr. Nowhere's radar screen) want to see those confounded returns. I can't find any data on how many small-minded folks want to see the dog. Maybe you could help out with that.
News Flash for the learning impaired - Sarah comment also "out of context"
[ In Reply To ..]BTDW for the geographically impaired, you CAN see Russian coastline from parts of Alaska. A little education would go a long way, especially in theis post. Try it, you might like it.
How fortunate for her, - since she's been able to
[ In Reply To ..]quit her 2.5-year day job as Governor of Alaska, invoke good ole American ingenuity and exceptionalism, and invent several brand-new, mighty lucrative careers: Stand-up comedian, lifetime resident in Fox's failed GOP pols pasture, and even her bold adventure into the world of books were she holds a niche spot on Wal-Mart's 75%-off pricebusters table.
But her good fortune doesn't end there. Her high-profile victimhood has also catapulted her daughter into an exciting reality-TV gig, and even helped her dead-beat-dad/ex-SIL get extensive lamestream media coverage/uncoverage, that includes an impressive Playgirl photo portfolio, access to the late-night-talk-show circuit (where he blabbed to his heart's content), and generously made way for HIS book to share the pricebuster's table. I'd love to see him stumping for Joe-the-Plumber-Wannabe/Handyman this fall but, alas, I doubt Samuel J is willing to risk the wrath.
Good for Obama quitting his 3-second job as Senator - Bad for America
[ In Reply To ..]derp :D A 9-year-old can reason that out. Ask one.
Don't you mean 3 x 39,888,000 seconds - in the US senate +
[ In Reply To ..]another 246,326,400 seconds on the state level? That's a grand total of 365,990,400 realtime seconds as "senator," making your estimate off by more than 11 years + 195 days, give or take. Furthermore, just like Palin, Obama ran for higher office before his elected position term was up because the country could not endure one more second of botched GOP rule. He left his senate seat to serve as POTUS/Commander-in-Chief of our nation.
Sarah Palin failed to reach higher office, and was able to return to her governorship, but "elected" to abandon her consituents in pursuit of much loftier goals, such as those enumerated in the previous post, a decision motivated by her self-serving desire to aspire to star celebrity status.
You do the math. Surely you aren't trying to suggest there is some sort of far-fetched parallel here, are you?
WOW, the green-eyed monster got ya bad - sM
[ In Reply To ..]A 9-YEAR-OLD CAN SEE THAT.
I hear Annie Coulter is - "insanely jealous" of Sarah
[ In Reply To ..]On the contrary. I'll be forever grateful to SP for all the fodder she's provided over these past 5 years for satirical ridicule, which she so richly deserves. It's a mutually beneficial relationship. She gets the bucks, and I get the yuks. Works out rather nicely for both of us.
So would Obama - his voice is getting shriller yelling about it. LOL (sm) - Aunt Sue
[ In Reply To ..]R/R should just tell him they'd like to see his college writings - if there were any, and if he shows them, he will release 3 years of tax returns, instead of 2. Heehee
Would love to see that - Sadly Obama transcripts in fire pit with Fido

Obama Sends Mexico $75 Million To Build WallSep 17, 2016
Turns out Barack Obama isn’t all that against building a border wall to keep out illegals after all. Thing is, he wants illegals to enter America, he’s just not okay with them entering Mexico. Looks like the U.S. is giving our neighbors to the south $75 million so they can build their own wall to protect themselves from Central American invaders. One of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s talking points in his campaign has that he wants to protect our borders. He wan ...

Paris To Build A "wall" Around Eiffel Tower As TerrorismJun 30, 2017
Americans are still waiting for a border wall, but France is set to get a wall of their own by the end of the year. Unlike the American iteration, this barrier won’t be erected on the French border. It’s set to surround the Eiffel Tower to shield it from terrorist attacks. Last month, the Paris city council approved a $20 million bulletproof glass wall, just over 8 feet high, that will surround the iconic tower. In a country proudly obsessed with art and beauty, this will be an obno ...
