Obama's comment reveals how little he understands job creation or America!
Some are calling it the Roanoke Incident. It happened last Friday at a campaign event in Roanoke Virgina. President Obama went off teleprompter and told the crowd that "if you have been successful you didn't get that on your own...If you've got a business you didn't build that!" [video]
It was another Joe the Plumber moment and a revealing glimpse into Obama's thinking that nothing is possible without big government and the bigger the better.
It was also a smack in the face of small business who struggle every day to survive in the Obama era whose big government policies and over regulation have made success so much harder to achieve.
If Obama's big government philosophy was correct the Soviet Union would never have collapsed and Greece wouldn't be on life support. This remark is just further proof that Obama is out of touch with what made America great. He's not the man to lead America's economic recovery!
I will credit Obama's remark in the sense that it drew a perfect contrast for the choice voters face in November. On the one hand you have Obama who is very open in his belief that government is the answer to all our needs and Romney who believes as Ronald Reagan did that government is not the answer. Obama loves to pretend he has his Reaganesque side, so let him reflect on these words from Reagan's first Inaugural Address:
