MacRanger:
Mitt Romney is hitting back hard on Obama’s “You didn’t build this” gaffe, but not for the quote, but for the context.
““This is an ideology which says hey, we’re all the same here, we ought to take from all and give to one another and that achievement, individual initiative and risk-taking and success are not to be rewarded as they have in the past. It’s a very strange and in some respects foreign to the American experience type of philosophy. We have always been a nation that has celebrated success of various kinds. The kid that gets the honor roll, the individual worker that gets a promotion, the person that gets a better job. And in fact, the person that builds a business. And by the way, if you have a business and you started it, you did build it. And you deserve credit for that.” – Mitt Romney”
Here’s a video of Romney being interviewed by Larry Kudlow:

Lefties don’t get it because their entire philosophy is built on giving others what they haven’t worked for or deserved. Whether it’s affirmative action, or any one of the many “redistributive” ideas they believe in.
I’m still waiting for someone to tell me one useful thing that Mitt Romney built. All the guy has built is his own personal fortune, which has largely been accomplished by seizing businesses and extracting wealth from what other people created.
One useful thing. Anybody?

WHAT’S THAT LINK any way have to do with MITT ROMNEY’S JOB?
you are insinuating that they are connected with MITT AS A FAMILY affair,
OBAMA HAD a group of chums he had fun with, some where gay,
and they where doing drugs and you can insinuate there too,or we can talk
about the CHICAGO UNION CHUMS, OR THE REVEREND WHITE, OR THE CRIMINAL FRIEND AYERS,
WHAT ELSE YOU WANT TO INSINUATE ON. YOU HAVE TO BALANCE THINGS,
WHAT’S GOOD TO THE GOOSE IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER,
BRING IT ON
GREG
HE ALSO BUILT HIS FAMILY AND THEY ALL GOOD AMERICANS,
AND MITT WON’T BEG FOR MONEY FROM THE PEOPLE HE HAS HIS OWN,
HE WILL GIVE JOBS JUST BY INVITING THE COMPANIES BACK TO A REAL AMERICA.
@Greg:
A successful business. Whether you think a successful business is useful or not is irrelevant, Bain is a success. It employs people and makes a profit, and did so while Romney ran it.
Turn about is fair play, name one useful thing Obama built.
