No, you really DIDN'T build it alone

The move by the GOP and Mitt Romney's campaign to selectively edit Obama's speech about small business owners not building their businesses all on their own without any help through their lives, to make it the centerpiece of Romney's election campaign LESS THAN FOUR MONTHS from Election Day, makes the GOP swift-boating of John Kerry eight years ago look like a childish effort.

You know, there are things that don't need my commentary. They stand on their own. I think I'll just leave this here for now, in that spirit ...

It certainly explains the state of our roads and infrastructure...they only care about their own private roads.

The ARRA stimulus has done a lot toward fixing some highways in the past few years, while also giving people temporary jobs at the same time. Republicans love to hold this up as a "waste" of money just like they cite any welfare program as "giving away" money, and I have yet to see the Democrat who will point to the local communities and states where all that money is being spent and explain, very simply, that it all stimulates those economies and helps some businesses STAY in business. If they weren't such pussies afraid of being shouted down by the Jesus voters angry that they're gradually losing their white privilege in modern society, they WOULD.
