"For the president to say a taxpaying citizen didn’t build the infrastructure he uses is a fundamental denial of the entire concept of a self-governing citizenry." Actually, he said taxpayers DID built the infrastructure, so I guess he has a fundamental acceptance of that concept. Other than that, how was the play, Ms Lincoln?

<<I would argue the context makes the quote worse, not better. Obama’s utter contempt for the idea that people deserve to prosper due to the fruits of their own labors and their own skills is made even deeper and more apparent from the entire quote.>> That is pure bullshit. All Obama was saying is that we all got some help along the way and we all need society. We need roads and laws and public utilites. Obama talked about his mom's help and scholarships. That is all he was getting at and you completely bastardized what he said. You should be ashamed of yourself. You know what you said is a complete distortion.
