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.

The official transcript relates:

There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me — because they want to give something back. 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. [Emphasis added]

He continued:

If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet. [Emphasis added]

Watch a clip of the remarks, via C-SPAN (the clip begins with Obama’s declaration that we asked the wealthy to pay more taxes during the Clinton administration, and did better for it):

Last September, Elizabeth Warren made made news after she said that “there is nobody in this country who got rich on his own — nobody.” Her speech received wide criticism, and now Barack Obama seems to be saying almost exactly the same thing.


Hot Air concludes:

I suppose this is the part where you [Barack Obama] remind them that when you jack up their taxes, it’s really just so you can give that money back to all the other people who actually built their business. But seriously, this is straight off the pages of Elizabeth Warren’s mind bending remarks from early this year. Those came crashing down around her ears, even in some Left leaning circles, so it’s a serious puzzler as to why Barack Obama would try to pick up that ball and run with it. Rather revealing, though.

Even Led Zepplin have to thank the instrument makers. Or they would have been banging sticks on rocks.

Unprepared speeches are a wonderful window into someone's mind or lack thereof.

These are the words of a disconnected uneducated imbecile who has never strung a coherent thought together in his life.

My thoughts exactly.

What a great orator Obama is !

It looks more and more like Shitt Romney is in for a spanking of historical proportions.

For sure; things will get very messy real soon at election time; but I would rate Obamas` chances higher if he ever ran a business himself; even if it was only for a few years...

Anyone in public office should be required to run a business at least once...just to know what life outside war is.

I don't think the faggot makes a joke here. he is dead serious. That is their philosophy

If you were successful...somebody along the line gave you some help.

What the fuck are you talking about nigger one? As A fisherman I FOUND my LORAN numbers. Took a "Secured loan", 40K, out to buy my FIRST boat. Been busting my ass offshore since. NMF Catch Shares DESTROYED an industry for the sake of a few,

FUCK National Marine Fisheries and national Oceanic and Atmospheric administration...

The rest is history


93 feet deep Plus oil, BUY AMMO !

Looks like Obama is going to start handing out the free shit. Redistribute that wealth, boy!

Reagan proved the Laffer Curve was more than a theory. This fucking imbecile is going to try and prove it again.... to the negative.

WTF?

It's the reason why the economy is in the current state of shit. Fuckers like these don't have a sense of self-worth, but also expect the handouts.

Really what would you expect from this cretin?

He's never worked a day in his life.
He's the archtype Amerikan parasite of government handouts.
Never created anything of value.
And given we can't see his transcripts, but we can see what he says in un-teleprompter moments that he's a complete and utter retard.

Say what you want about Jimmy Carter, but I'm getting more sympathic to him all the time. As full of shit as he was he didn't hate the country and he had some modicum of business sense.

As bad as he was he is still head and shoulders above ObOzO.

They paid the instrument maker. No thanks required. If that instrument maker didn't do it, some other greedy capitalist would have.

Is LookNLearn really the basis for the character Jefferson Darcy?

'If You got to be America's first affirmative action president-You didn't do that.George Soros made it happen.

Obama's statement, aside from being an utter crock of shit, denigrates millions of succesful hard working folks who have acheive success. Just because Barry Hussein had his commie pals pay his way through school and a compliant ass-licking media help him get elected does not mean the rest of the world works that way.

Thank you.

Nobody other than me gets up at 4 AM, spends the next 12 hours in my office and gets home to spend an hour or so with my kid before we go to bed. Nobody does that for me, I have to do it. Nobody other than me lies awake at night thinking about payables when things are shitty, nobody other than me should reap the rewards when things are good (which is where he's headed with this shit). I'm greedy. Because I'm greedy I've built a business that pays a shit load of taxes and employs people.

Recently, in fact it was the morning the Roberts made his decision, I was wondering why I work so hard. I called my best friend who is a public school teacher... of course I had to wait for him to get up because it's the summer time. I asked him what motivation do I have to work if so much of what I work for goes to shit birds who don't want to work. If I decide tomorrow to stay home from now on to watch daytime TV, what will be the consequences? I'll lose my home, sure... but I'll be given shelter. I won't go out to eat a nice restaurants, but I'll be fed. I won't go on nice vacations, but what will I need a vacation from? Fuck it! Maybe I should go on the dole... I feel like a sucker working when the truth is I don't need to.

O has a point: had Bill Gates been born in Papua Niugini as a Papuan, chances are we would never have heard of him.

The pilgrams tried socialism and something like half of them died. then they started believing in private property.

The pilgrams started the USA.

Obunghole is so worthless he had to lift this line of shit from the fake Indian, "Chief Running Mouth" Elizabeth Warren.

this just shows how clueless the chimp in chief is. HE COULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN ANYWHERE WITHOUT SOMEBODY ELSE MAKING IT HAPPEN. Because he couldn't do it by himself he doesn't think anyone else did either. Or maybe if makes him feel better to insult those that didn't need a hand out. He knows deep down those people are better than he is because he needed a help to make it and others didn't. either way it shows astonishing ignorance to how capitalism works.

Are you white? White people don't get the same benefits as the colored.

Chances are, you DO have to work.

Spoken like the half wit marxsist twit that he is.

This guy has never worked a real job in his life or run a business.

Keep talking nigger, you remind us all every day that you gotta go in 4 months - no question about it.

Ho'bama is to American what leprosy is to a once pretty face !!

Obama is right. If you live in the U.S., you are standing on the shoulders of giants. If you think you are a self made man, go to a deserted island and start a new life away from the communist boogie man Obama. Tell us how that works out

Fuck you, idiot. I AM PAYING THROUGH MY NOSE FOR THOSE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS and then some. For the roads, for the gasoline, for lame shit like you who lives on the gov dole. Tax, tax, tax

Go fuck yourself and 69 Obama
