“If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen.” Mitt Romney fell on this Obama quote like an NFL lineman on an end zone fumble during the Super Bowl. And understandably so.
For this was no gaffe, said Romney, this is what Obama believes. This is straight out of the catechism. Obama thinks that had not the government created the preconditions, none of us could succeed. We all depend on government. None of us can make it on our own.

Pat Buchanan vs. “Barack Obama”: “Government Does Not Create Wealth; Government Collects Wealth, Redistributes Wealth, Consumes Wealth”

As if Romney believes in private enterprise unfettered by government. Give me a break. This was just a political stunt to convey the idea that Obama and Romney stand for different things. Obama's handlers may be scum but they're not stupid enough to give him that speech without a good reason.
