American Ingenuity Brought to You By.....

By now they are probably the most uttered words around the globe.  Making headlines on the evening news programs, circulating the writers desk of numerous magazines and newspapers, but the "You Didn't Build That" statement has become the gaffe of the Presidential campaign.

President Obama delivered the speech in Roanoke, Virginia on Friday in which he stated that everyone had someone to inspire them to do more, create something or helped them along the way.  This included of course, parents, friends, teachers etc... While the message itself had good intentions, and most of it understandable, because we do get our inspiration for new businesses and innovations from those in our lives, it has clearly backfired.

Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney stated, "This is the height of foolishness.  It shows how out of touch he is with the character of America.  When you attack success...you will see under this president less success."  According to reports, "Romney accused Obama of trying to "diminish" individual achievement.  Before he launched into his stump speech, Romney asked members of the audience Wednesday to raise their hands if they run a business.  "Take that, Mr. President," Romney said after the hands went up."

Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod weighted in on Twitter saying, "Isn't it ironic that the guy who sticks his millions in foreign tax havens says the president's views are 'extremely foreign?"

Comments about the tweet?  Well at least Romney is wealthy enough to place his money in foreign banks, but he doesn't want the country that provided him that luxury to lean towards those countries political tendencies. Banking is one thing, being in a position like President is another.  For more on this story please go to: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/07/18/romney-goes-on-offense-over-jobs-remark/#ixzz210VD6TI7
