I just don’t think the rest of the quote helps the President at all.

Now of course people will hear what they want to hear, but deceptive? I don’t think so.

The President said what he said, and it would be nice if the whole speech could be repeated every time. However the concept doesn’t change for many.

The President is laughing at people who think that brains and hard work was what made them successful.

Well, as you all like to point out, that might not be the precise reasons. Maybe it was just lucky that they hired people they could trust and motivate. I have always found that the harder I worked, the luckier I got.
