Obama to Americans: You don’t deserve what you’ve earned

President Barack Obama said in a speech at the weekend that governments and not individuals create jobs, telling entrepreneurs: 'If you've got a business - you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen.'

'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.'

As Twitchy reported..., President Obama uttered an infuriating and offensive remark, in a seemingly endless list of infuriating and offensive things, during his speech in Virginia yesterday. The President decided to slam small business owners and give credit for their successes to the government. Talk to the hand, small business owners!

No, really; sadly, it is not a joke. President Obama said “If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” Last night, some on Twitter gave him the business. His statement was infuriating enough on its face, but coming from a man who knows nothing about the real world outside of an Ivory Tower, it is downright maddening.

"So Obama says I didn't build my landscaping business, someone else did. Who would that be, Mr. President? Wasn't aware I had a partner."

"I'm surprised Obama never went into business if it is this easy. Hey, everyone else does all the work!"
