Politics

I agree that Obama has used this situation before, but when he did it he used it to show a different perspective on how he believes. He didn't just chop and edit a speech to try to make it sound as though he meant one thing when clearly he meant another. That's exactly what is being done here with Obama's speech. It has been deliberately edited to appear to people as though it means something terribly bad when in contrast it actually doesn't. I just find it humorous that so many of these edits do NOT show the entire speech, especially where it states what his "point" actually is instead of the point they're trying so desperately to make.

I understand what you're saying and will admit that situations like the video where Obama says "My Muslim Faith" is out of context and irrelevant but I personally have a problem with the intended point he was making and disagree with him on his view of the role and impact of government.

It's as simple as that.

Well, because I know he's a liberal and I am too I have the same views he does, but I do want to point out though that I don't believe that's what this particular speech was about. It simply mentions that in some part government does play a role in the success of a business, but not entirely. You don't owe everything to the government. He knows that. I know that. That's just not the point here. The point is that everybody gets a little help from somewhere in order to make a business successful whether they realize it or not.

I also found it very humorous that several of the Romney ads show a particular businessman who is complaining about the Obama statements "you didn't build that", and goes on to state that he personally built his company from the ground up. Which he did, and kudos to him, but it was also revealed later through investigations that he had built his company from the ground up with over $700,000 in government subsidized loans. Although he should be very proud of his company and his success I find it very contradictory of him to act as though he received no help whatsoever in his endeavor. Although we don't need or want government hands in every thing we do, sometimes it does help rather than hinder. I believe that was the point President Obama was really trying to make during his speech.

Subsidies are a joke. It's government simply attempting to pick winners and losers. Solyndra anyone? Some arguments could be made for some subsidies being relevant but a majority of them are political tools and government intrusion into the private sector.

I do find it scary that those who oppose Mr. Obama are instantly investigated by the liberal powers to be. I remember the same thing occurring with Joe the Plumber. I'm sure you'll highlight where the GOP has done something similar but I can't think of anything recently.

If true, that gentlemen should feel like a horses ass for appearing in the ad, regardless of whether he's a Romney supporter.This would be like a business owner claiming venture capitalist investments had nothing to do with his/her success only to find out they received a massive amount of VC money.

Again, the core of the disagreement is the appropriate role of government and much like pro life, pro choice this is going to be something liberals and conservatives will NEVER agree on.

LOL. Then we will just agree to disagree. You are right. I could point out many times the GOP has done the same thing to liberal/democratic supporters. Although I look at it more from a standpoint of factchecking than investigating I guess.
