and i'm not really interested in your grades! but you have proved my point here,

which is, your reply is basically the same as obama's - HE graduated cumlaude from harvard law. that is fair proof that he had excellent grades. but his haters are not content with that, nor with publishings of his birth certificate in that birth "issue".

you have not "shown your records" but told me what your average was. this proves nothing, nor does your assertion that you were the "only.." etc.

you have repeatedly "bragged" about your education yet you seem strangely reticent to PUBLISH YOUR RECORDS, which is not the same as what you posted, is it?

romney is afraid to publish his tax records. obama has published his. a former colleague of romney's has stated that he believes romney paid NO taxes for ten years.

true, you are not the president, but you have not answered my request in an honest way either, have you? even though YOU suggested that YOU were totally open about this.

anyone can say they had a 4.0 but that doesn't make it so.

on the other hand obama's cumlaude is a matter of RECORD, so without actual transcripts it is OBVIOUS, ISN"T IT? that he got some pretty good grades.

"Did we not build this? Did we not quit our jobs, have 2nd mortgages on our houses and work every day for 3 years? Did we not hire a full-time staff (with healthcare),use 20 vendors per month, and get hundreds of customers?

Nope. Sorry Tim, Dear Leader did it for you."

Roads are pretty awesome, come to think of it.

Business Professor Obama teaching us how the market works!

Solyndra didn’t build that!

Ray Gaster poses in front of one of his "you didn't build that" response signs.

President Obama's message to entrepreneurs that "you didn't build that" prompted one Georgia business owner to respond with a not-so-subtle retort.

"I built this business without gov't help. Obama can Kiss my as$," reads the sign outside Gaster Lumber & Hardware in Savannah, Ga. Owner Ray Gaster posted that and two similar ones at all three of his company's locations in response to Obama's comments during a speech to supporters in Virignia, which struck a nerve with small business owners around the nation.

"When I heard what he said, I said 'I'm going to give him an answer in Chicago language--something he's used to.'"
- Ray Gaster

“If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help," the president said at a campaign stop last month in Roanoke, Va.. "There was a great teacher somewhere in your life," he continued. "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.”

Since the comments created a firestorm, Obama's campaign has sought to put the comments in perspective, saying that Obama only meant that businesses rely on the community to flourish. Yet, his opponents have seized on the remarks, making them something of a small business rallying cry.

Gaster, a Vietnam veteran, told FoxNews.com he built his now 28-year-old business from the ground up.

"I started on my own," Gaster said. "The government wasn't there. We work long, hard hours and what he said is an insult to any businessman."

The sign has been criticized for its harsh language, but Gaster said that the rough words were necessary.

"When I heard what he said, I said 'I'm going to give him an answer in Chicago language--something he's used to,'" he told FoxNews.com. "If I would have said 'Dear Mr. President...' there wouldn't have been as strong of a response."

Gaster sent a photo of his sign to 45 of his friends and business acquaintances. He said he wants other businesses to post signs as well.

"We need to stand up to the criticism coming from our own government. If this economy is to get better, it will be driven by small and independent businesses. We are part of the solution, not the problem," Gaster said.

"I want to use this sign to urge other businesspeople to stand up and say 'Mr. President, you're wrong. I built my business,'" he told FoxNews.com. "I represent the majority of business owners in my belief."

It's really comical watching the usual suspects twist and distort reality in efforts to protect their little Marxist Messiah O'Bomber from taking his well deserved lumps.

The good news. Voters have now zeroed in on O'Bomber as THE problem with the economy; the congress is number 2 and Bush is a distant 3rd. In spite of all the BUSH DID IT blither, blather, bloviation and bullshiit coming out of O'Bomber and his Socialist comrades.

Jwhop, you're as ridiculous as usual. There's nothing to defend here. There is only informing you that you don't understand.

ironically, same business owner had around a MILLION DOLLARS IN GOVERNMENT LOANS to get started.

the same story over and over.

romney had GOVT FUNDS AND GOVT FUNDED INFRASTRUCTURE to pull the salt lake city olympics out of his "own" arse.

the simple fact is that unless govt provides a springboard either in cash advances, or just in a society that is able to support a business, business does not occur. period.

AS TOM PAINE SAID, without a society within which to create, NO ONE can make a thriving business or enterprise.

you don't have to be a socialist to understand, as the poet of centuries ago wrote, no man is an island.
