re: #37 Buck

Well, that is your interpretation. I interpret his words differently.

No, this really isn’t about interpretation. Nowhere in Obama’s speech is he asking the question or talking about why some businesses fail, and others succeed. Throughout the whole speech, he’s just pointing out that businesses depend on the things that government provides— roads, educated populace, etc. He’s pointing out all the ways that the government adds to the wealth of this country by supporting businesses.

I fully understand that to your hyperpartisan mind— I mean, last thread we talked about this you were unwilling to admit that you owned any debt to any teacher who had taught you anything along the way, so you’re huffing some serious bootstrap— you may not be able to accept Obama is saying this very simple, straightforward, and obviously true thing. You may need to twist it until it becomes something untrue, because you can’t deal with the fact that Obama is a quite centrist, middle-of-the-road guy, but it doesn’t change for anyone else when you do that. Nobody is convinced by you.
