CNN's Carol Costello: 'You Didn't Build That' Taken Out of Context

How many times are righties gonna bring this up?

Obama spoke the truth:
You didn't go into a college without being admitted. You didn't go into a company without being hired.
So yes, if you got something in this world, it was because of help along the way.
Romney doesn't understand that because he never had to work through the tough times to get what he got. His wealthy bastard philosophy tells him that people get things without trying because that's all HE knows.

The truth is that typical average people don't get things handed to them and those people DO have to work and get help along the way.
Average folks don't snap their fingers and have daddy give them 30,000 bucks a day. That is not "help" in the standard sense.

Ugh. You just don't get it...

Obama wrote: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.

Obama wrote: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.

That last line is the biggest load of shit.
