Obama: 'We Don't Believe Anybody Is Entitled to Success in This Country' [W:108]

Hold on now..You're giving that flake Obama too much credit. Him supposedly being a top tier Lawyer he's suppose to already know what he's saying. right?


does he????????????????

well yes, with teleprompter I guess :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:
 
I'm certainly not complaining about what Obama has to say because there is nothing there to complain about. It's just the same old triteness we've come to expect from this president, where banality is dressed up to sound like something profound.

There is nothing there and he has nothing to offer.

Wait, wait, you're not complaining about the argument even though you've come to a thread specifically made to complain about it and supported the people complaining about it? Haha. You're still pretending to be an independent I see.
 
Good thing we grow up to be adults then and fairy tale stories we tell kids about our country don't apply to the real world.

So you promote lies to your kids? I don't. I still tell my nieces and nephews "You live in America, and we are free by the terms in the Constitution, so be all you can be just like the Army, you have that RIGHT"..
 
I'm going to ask the conservatives which have claimed that there is a ENTITLEMENT to success to state under which enumerated right it falls. Maybe they could find it in some legal document? Federalist papers? Any federal laws? Court cases about "success"? Anything? No? Yeah, I didn't think so. Mya? 4horsemen? Grant? Anybody?
 
From day...one..

And it really urks me that the Obamabots in America don't see thru this guy. or maybe they do and dont' want to come off their arrongant perch of ignorance.

O, we do. If you people would refrain from drawing down on the Religious Right for the GOP candidate, Obama might be gonna lose.

But nooooooooooo, you have to have your social fascism.
 
but FREEDOM and LIBERTY to do so are in it. So what else YOU got?

Right, people can succeed and fail as they please. Just because you're an American doesn't entitle you to succeed.
 
So you promote lies to your kids? I don't. I still tell my nieces and nephews "You live in America, and we are free by the terms in the Constitution, so be all you can be just like the Army, you have that RIGHT"..

Of course you do. You tell kids that they are entitled to success when they really aren't.
 
Good thing we grow up to be adults then and fairy tale stories we tell kids about our country don't apply to the real world.

Ok, "Young Money Millionaire".
 
I do not understand why the right is so semantically challenged. This is another attempt at one of those "you didn't build that" out of context bumperstickers the right is so fond of.

He said a little more than that:

"This country doesn’t just succeed when just a few are doing well at the top. It succeeds when the middle class gets bigger. Our economy doesn’t grow from the top down -- it grows from the middle out. We don’t believe that anybody is entitled to success in this country," said Obama. "But we do believe in opportunity. We believe in a country where hard work pays off and responsibility is rewarded, and everybody is getting a fair shot and everybody is doing their fair share and everybody is playing by the same rules."

Please explain what is wrong with what he actually said above?

What's wrong with it? I know I'm sick to death of the suggestion that the people footing the lions share of the bill are not paying their "fair share". Also, I believe those who have honestly earned success are, indeed, entitled to their success. What is unreasonable about that?
 
does he????????????????

well yes, with teleprompter I guess :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

I mean with all the gloating and grandstanding the Obamabots did for him as being this "Great Lawyer from Haaarvard"...lol..we should expect better but you can't get Florida orange juice from a Kenyan turnip.
 
Yes, that you have no point.

Pot meet kettle.... :lol:

My point is: IF you are foolish enough to believe anything the man says, you have no business in a voting booth...
 
I don't have a problem with the "entitled to success" part...I have a problem with the "fair share" part.

Exactly what is their fair share? Who decides? And what happens if I don't do what Obama considers my "fair share"?

I interpret "doing their fair share" as simply working and contributing in proporation to those rewards.

It's a rhetorical proposition, not a rule/regulation/law and I seriously doubt Obama would ever consider/judge you individual contribution, so there really isn't anything to worry about.
 
I think if Mya misunderstood Obama, he isn't speaking very well. Doubtless she's smarter and better informed than the average American voter.

Frankly, I've been wondering why he's not sizzling, myself. Public speaking had been his forte'. The man needs to step up his game.

Exactly.

I just think the Obamabots are those bitter failures from highschool, you know the ones? they were the ultimate underachievers and Obama is thier champion because he's the Ultimate Underacheiver himself so they can relate to him 100%

LOLOLOL. That's really the only hope Romney has of winning.
 
Ok, "Young Money Millionaire".

Oh good, you're starting to get it. You have the opportunity to be one. However, you're not entitled to be one.

Don't worry, the fix is in. He'll bounce back in the next 2 debates and win in November. all of this BS is just window-dressing for fools who still believe in the voting process.

If you are foolish enough to think POTUS is a chronic liar and empty suit, you also have not business being in a voiting booth.
 
Dude...Obama can't get much broader and unspecific than "I will create 1 million new manufacturing jobs by 2016".

Obama promises 1-million new manufacturing jobs by end of 2016 | wtsp.com

Finally something with substance to respond to. While I agree it would be hard to predict exactly how many jobs are made in manufacturing and how many are actually a direct result of Obama policies, here is at least one outline showing in part how it will be done: FACT SHEET: President Obama
 
Exactly.

I just think the Obamabots are those bitter failures from highschool, you know the ones? they were the ultimate underachievers and Obama is thier champion because he's the Ultimate Underacheiver himself so they can relate to him 100%

So, tell me, if becoming POTUS is your idea of a "failure", what's a success?

Like Gore said, you know Pinkie?

The altitude threw him off .. haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa:lamo:lamo:lamo


the altitude bwahahahahaaaaaaa Oh Lord!
 
I don't even think Obamabots follow politics. I think they are all like the Obamaphone lady, IGNORANT.

youtube "Obamaphone" for a awesome laugh at utter stupidity and ignorance of Obamabots. I would post the link but the goons might ban me again.

I've not much respect for those who support Barrack Obama but I feel a great deal of sympathy for this poor woman. There are many like her who just want to believe in something, that there is someone out there who will give them a break in life.

These people are being exploited by politicians like Obama, but I certainly won't mock them.
