Let’s have a little reality check shall we. First of all, the editing in this clip is soooooooo false, its embarrassing. Isn’t there enough real stuff the Republicans could throw at Obama without making up BS?
Before we continue, let’s start first with the actual transcript. I know, I know it so much more fun to just make it up, but for this exercise in truth, I invite you to just play along for my amusement.
“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.”
Really, does anyone with at least an 8th grade education not under what “THAT” was referring back to? Was it the best grammar use, probably not, maybe President Obama just figured that WE were smart enough to understand that THAT meant roads, bridges, etc etc.
