Obama If you've been successful you didn't get there on your own

  • 12 years ago
On Friday night, in a campaign stop in Roanoke, Virginia, President Obama made what Michael Kinsley has called a gaffe. In Washington, a gaffe is when you tell the truth, or, in this case, say what you really think:

"If you've got a business - you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."

He left out the best part: "from each according to his ability; to each according to his need." This second quote, of course, is not from Obama, but from Marx. It should be engraved over each encampment of the gulags around the world.
