You can believe he believes this....

When B Hussein Obama made the mistake about traveling to 57 states in the country, you can give him that as just being tired or making a mistake. We know if any Republican had said it Leno and Letterman would have made it the butt of jokes for weeks, but that's life. Now we have B Hussein Obama in all of his glory.



PICKET:(VIDEO) Obama - 'If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen'

In fuller context:

...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.

The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don’t do on our own. I mean, imagine if everybody had their own fire service. That would be a hard way to organize fighting fires...

I love how he claims government research invented the Internet. Well, it's more accurate than ALGORE's claim of inviting it. But more it was the off shoot of something the Pentagon used to interconnect the Pentagon, Cheyenne Mountain, and Strategic Air Command headquarters (SAC). This article from Forbes Magazine gives a great history of how the Internet was invented and then became the system used for communications and commerce we know today. Some of the characteristics of the development of the system with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency:

...Diverse teams and networks: DARPA created and sustained teams of researchers from different disciplines to collaborate and share in the teams’ advances. DARPA sought great talents and ideas from industry, universities, government laboratories, and individuals, mixing disciplines and theoretical and experimental strength.

Autonomy and freedom from bureaucratic impediments: DARPA had an exemption from civilian personnel specifications, and had direct authority to hire talents with the expediency not allowed by the standard civil service process...

In other words the government agency that developed what became the Internet was not the normal bureaucracy that infects most of the government. And unlike most of the bureaucracy, it actually functions.

Again, this man-child shows himself clueless about basic economics.
