Interesting video. I'm reminded of the Tea Party, birtherism, and so on.

In your perverse world view, liberals always tell the truth, "conservatives" or some variation thereof just "make up shit"?

No chance that both sides of the aisle "shape" the facts to support the narrative?

If you have one President saying he will suspend the free market system to save it, and then another President saying that no entrepreneur is responsible for their success and someone else did it...sure seems like there is a third side to be on: the side that would rather not be under the thumb of the State. The side that believes the State collective control is awful.

I think Obama was talking more about the environment of enablement for entrepreneurs to succeed rather than alluding to control. I guess not only is the news made up, but also its interpretation.

Government does not enable entrepreneurism. That is nonsense.

none of you know what you are talking about

everything you think you know you learned from the news

as soon as it comes through that glass tube you have an opinion

have you ever sat down with the President and had a talk?

or do you just react to what you see on tv?

otherwise, if news is silly, what is the reason for a new record high in beans? Is it because some MA crossed over?
