OUT OF CONTEXT

Out of context my butt.   
Here are his un-doctored words taken directly from this White House web site.  http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/07/13/remarks-president-campaign-event-roanoke-virginia

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. (Applause.)
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.

To understand where he’s coming from, you must realize that he is a product of affirmative action.  His remarks about “you didn’t make that happen!”, when all is said and done, is one hundred percent accurate when applied to himself.

His life is all about he not making anything happen. All doors were opened for him. He simply has to step in.  His small, closed, reactionary rigid mind lacks the flexibility and imagination to understand that others don’t share his experience.  Big Government, in his mind, is Affirmative Action for all.  

He didn’t make his college admission possible.  He didn’t write his “best seller”.  He didn’t buy his house in Chicago without “assistance”. His wife didn’t get her high flying jobs on her abilities.  He didn’t make that Nobel happen either.  When someone glides through life as he most certainly has, they tend to see things differently.
