The real Obama, unplugged

Politico; Obama hijacks American success   "Our life is a journey — branching out in scattered directions. By God’s grace and the foresight of our Founding Fathers, this journey is determined by our own free will and motivation. But success, according to Obama, can only be achieved if the government has had an integral part — pushing you in the right direction.

So, using the president’s logic, Michael Phelps won eight Olympic gold medals because the Federal Highway Administration built the roads to get him to swim practice. They also woke him up at 4 am each morning and forced him to train. Or Spanx undergarments — which millions of women rely upon — became a billion-dollar company because its founder, Sara Blakely, wanted to pay more taxes."....

Neal Boortz; Hey ... Obama. We Built That Stuff Too 
"Get in Marine One, Obama, and fly off to visit a road construction project.  Look at those graders, rollers and the machines that lay the asphalt.  See those logos on the doors?  Those logos are for private construction firms.  Those workers in yellow vests?  Their paychecks and benefits are coming from private businesses – many of them the very small businesses you want to hit with tax increases."....
