OK, I know I’m late to the party, but I’ve been thinking about the whole “you didn’t build that” revelation of Obama’s worldview and more than just showing that he’s a fascist (which we already knew), it show’s he’s an incoherent fascist.
He loves to talk about roads and bridges, roads and bridges, roads and bridges. But roads and bridges were bought. Calls for proposals were issued, bids were received and reviewed, contracts were let and people were paid. It’s no different than what happens when Obama’s employees stop at Capital Hemp for their, um, medicinal needs. They identify a need, visit the store, shop around, select a bong and then they … pay for it. Once they’ve paid for it, no one chases after them yelling, “you didn’t build that!” Of course they didn’t build that. That’s what money is for. It exists so you can hire someone else to build it. Once that transaction is done, both sides agree that the relationship, as far as the bong or the highway is concerned, is complete*.

Ding ding ding… we have a winner.
