The RoanokeSlant: Was Roanoke’s Fire House #1 Obama’s Waterloo?
Was Roanoke’s Fire House #1 Obama’s Waterloo?
With that phrase, in the context of mocking the successful American business people's intelligence, hard work, innovation and risk taking, Obama was truly the personification of: “The Emperor Wears No Clothes”!
The underlying Evita and Communist Manifesto attitudes and beliefs and ideology shone through for all to see, stripped of the charm and smile of the schoolboy persona. Now the job of his Chicago political machine is to convince voters that wasn’t him, that’s not what he meant, he just got carried away with the Roanoke Times’ left-wing hospitality.
Obama to Businessmen: You Didn’t Do Nothin!
The following two commentaries highlight the scope and magnitude of Obama’s unintentional view into his real self and the beginning of the resultant political fallout!
Romney’s rebuttal (to Obama’s “You didn’t build that”) is that infrastructure and public services are great, but that’s what we pay taxes for. Romney’ point is that commerce creates wealth which provides the resources that pay for basic services and, as the Founders would have said, “Improvements” that, in turn, facilitate greater commerce. The government here is not a partner or a director, but a provider of basic necessities.
Romney’s view lines up better with the electorate. As the latest FOX News Poll shows, voters believe by an almost three-to-one margin that government is the problem with the economy rather than the solution. And 55 percent said that they thought Obama was making government bigger and more expensive. Only 10 percent thought he was making it smaller.
A Quinnipiac Poll of Virginia voters out today that was in the field before, during and after Obama Obama’s gaffe in the commonwealth shows Obama having surrendered his lead there. Obama led in the Old Dominion by 8 points in March and 5 points in June, now it’s dead even at 44 percent apiece.
Whatever the causes of Obama’s 6-point Virginia drop since March, “you didn’t build that” certainly couldn’t have helped.
Obama saboteurs twisting the truth?
