The White House has released the transcript of President Obama’s recent speech in Roanoke, Virginia, and it holds a number of noteworthy statements.
“Channeling Elizabeth Warren,” in the words 
of Jazz Shaw at Hot Air, Barack Obama said that successful Americans “didn’t get there” on their own.

They know they didn’t — look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. 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. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.

Wow. Class warfare at it's best. I will say this for the communist prez - he sure knows how to use the words in an eloquent way that are sure to promote class warfare.
Ahh, but will enough of the have's vote for opportunity rather than the have not's who will vote for the handouts?
That's how Obama justify's stealing from people.
Many think Romney isn't being aggressive enough, I think he's doing the right thing and try to stay out of the negitive. Americans are tired of the negitivity.
If I was Romney I'd sit on that campaign money until closer to the election to get more air time because he saved instead of blowing all his campaign money on negitive ads.
Let Obama keep putting out the negitive, all Romney has to do is stayed focused on jobs and the economy and this election speaks for itself. Obama has to stay negitive, because has has no record to run on and he know's it.
Am I better off than I was 4 years ago? No and not too many that I know are better off either.
This is coming from a guy that has done nothing but sponge from other people his entire life.I'd like to see him start a small business and learn that you can't spend money you don't have.He doesn't even understand the concept.I'd like to se him make payroll when business has been slow.If anything,he didn't get where he is on HIS own! He is only a spokesperson for the George Soros types that bought his elections for him.
I have had my own business for almost 25 years and no one else made that happen. It took my dedication, perseverance, patience, being honest, willing to work 12 plus hours a day seven days a week and to go without buying new clothes and eating in nice restaurants!
I don't drive a new car and live very frugal.....and for Obama to say what he said about business owners who have survived the horrible economic conditions that he basically has brought our country down to proves he wants everyone to depend on the government to survive. He is the worlds biggest socialist and communist and he needs to go NOW!
What a POS
"Class warfare at it's best". Seems to me the quote should highlight that we are all in this together.
Was there anything in that full quote that wasn't true? Did the business owners out there not receive an education backed by some level of public support? Did their products not make it to the store or out to the customers on a public road? Did the money they made not come from people willing to buy their products? We succeed when we are all using our abilities to the fullest and taking part in capitalism. When too many of us fail to do so, whether by choice or by unfortunate circumstances, the system fails.
This is part of the problem. Businesses have forgotten that if it wasn't for the people who work for them, many of them would not be where they are today!
Many of them did NOT do it on their own! They had employees!!!
Obama is a total Fn idiot.
