REPORT: Fox News Spends Two-Plus Hours Distorting Obama's Small Business Comments

Clip-Clop;
Taken out of context is the big argument, then keep things in context and you won't look like a douche to the hundreds of thousands of people that DO make it happen on their own.

It was in context. That's kinda the whole point.

Perhaps someone that has never really had to work in order to earn should keep his comments about those of us that do to himself

The statement that the mixed-race son of a poor single mother, left with his grandparents, who worked and got into Columbia, then Harvard, became and worked as a lawyer, then got involved in state politics, then was elected Senator, then President of the United States, "never really had to work" is beyond absurd and laughable.

Do you have a private sector employment history that shows if the President didn't make any money for his company that week he didn't get paid.

Don't take things out of context, I said work to EARN. It takes work to go to school and write books but neither of those is like making payroll for 22 people when your company didn't have a good month or quarter.
Supplying the entire quote for the 2-3 people that haven't heard it in its entirety will soften the blow but it still shows that this President is clueless when it comes to understanding common business and economics.

What is your point? That it's only valid "work" if you have a business of a certain size with a certain number of employees? That's absurd. The President has worked to earn to support himself, and later himself and his family. Like nearly every other American. Employees "work", and self-employed accounts, doctors, auto mechanics, etc. "work" even if they don't have a business and have to make any payroll other than themselves. Obama has done that.

If you want to look at someone who was gifted, geeshus, look at Romney. He never started from scratch. The toughest period in his life, according to his wife, was when they were "poor" in school, and they had to live off stock income! He never made any product. But he still "worked" in my view.

Work history for the President in the private sector would definitely prove your point?

Never said anything about Romney as I do not care much for him either, he is a silver spooner. This is about the President not understanding reality and what people (real people not "public servants" or academia) need to do to survive and what really drives the economy of the country.

This president appears to understand what drives this economy perfectly - he's created hundreds of thousands of jobs over the past three years, the GDP has risen, he's sanctioned against trade/China, he's supported our infrastucture support development, he's embraced new business technology, this president defends the poor and middle class, he understands exactly what they need when they are struggling, and he tries to work for them, outstandingly - and done it against historically complete obstruction and opposition by the opposing political party. All that "community organizer" attack crap? All that experience was working with the poor, helping them. And this president is hardly "liberal", let alone "socialist", in his financial/business approach.

Saying this president - love him or hate him - doesn't understand what "real people" need to do to survive is simply absurd and doesn't stand up to the reality.

Don't stop believing.
This is a one of a kind statement and there is no logical person out there that would confirm what you have written.

Really? We don't need "belief", nor do we need "logical people" to "confirm" anything. We just need the facts to confirm. So here's what I said, below. You are free to disprove it with facts that show otherwise:

1) Obama administration has created hundreds of thousands of jobs over the past three years

2) the GDP has risen

3) Obama administration has sanctioned against trade/China

4) Obama adminstration has supported our infrastucture support development

5) Obama administration has embraced new business technology

Saying this president - love him or hate him - doesn't understand what "real people" need to do to survive is simply absurd and doesn't stand up to the reality.

Yeah, but that was all accomplished via Affirmative Action...

Apparently being poor, growing up in a single-family home with no father, being left by your mother to grow up with your grandparents, have to work to get into college, work to get into law school, work to become president of Harvard Law Review, work to earn money to buy a house and raise a family, doesn't count if you're Barack Obama.

I am sick of the haters and Faux News outright lying about this President, what he says, what he does. No president in my lifetime has been disrespected, lied about and hated like this, and that includes Bush the Younger. You can go back and see how Abraham Lincoln was treated like this - which provides an interesting context for Obama's treatment.

And any American citizen who cares about this country ought to be sick of the lies, too. Judge them all on the truth, on what they actually do, actually say. Not manufactured, made-up birther conspiracy nonsense bull.sh.i.a.t.

Mitt Romney will say anything. It turns out, he'll even say Obama's words when quoting him.

What I would really like to know is who he is pandering to with a statement like that? The people that work on road crews?
The whole tone (context be damned) of the speech just doesn't make any sense at all.
