Obama: The Bane of Capital

Mitt Romney and Bain Capital?  How about Obama -- the Bane of Capital?
With all the talk of Bain Capital, let us consider the bane of capital.  Speaking at a campaign stop in Roanoke, Virginia, President Barack Obama set business owners straight: "If you've got a business, you didn't build that."  Powerful stuff.  "If you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own. You didn't get there on your own. ... If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."
This from a person who told his supporters that his nomination marked the moment when the waters of the great oceans would recede and when the earth's temperature would cool.  So now one wonders whether Obama really did win that election.  He didn't build the voting machines.  He didn't create the cars that brought voters to polling places.  He didn't create the pens that wrote the checks for his campaign.  Someone else did that.  So he didn't win that election.  Someone else did.
The thing is, he does not know how to create a productive job that adds value because he never built a business.  He never filed the corporate-compliance documents, was never posed with obligations to leap through endless hoops of government red tape to sell a product.  He does not know.   He never built a factory, never went to a fabricator to have manufacturing machines built to specifications.  The only fabrication he knows is falsifying his life story -- one cannot call such novels a "biography" or an "autobiography," but only a "life story."  So he can fabricate facts in his life story.  He can fabricate claims against Romney that fly against the truth.  But he does not know how to fabricate a machine.  Someone else made that happen.
