I don't know who "The One" is. The words came out of Obama's mouth, and unlike the sane people, you mouth breathers twist his words to mean something else entirely

Are you entitled to success?

Please look up the definition of entitled

Somehow I wonder if you left leaners will every realize that all of us, who pay taxes, will get to pay more.

Good, we need to pay down the deficit.


EVERYONES TAXES NEED TO GO UP, AND A LOT OF SPENDING NEEDS TO BE CUT.

How hard of a concept is this to understand?

Are you saying that everyone is entitled to success in this country? Otherwise you agree with EXACTLY what the President said.

It'd be nice if everyone had a chance at success, but that isn't the way the cookie crumbles either, not everyone will succeed, no one is entitled to succeed, and not everyone will ever get a chance to succeed.

Being born in the United States gives you a better chance at success, but no one is entitled to it. Thats what the President is saying. I don't agree with him on a lot of points, but the english language of "we don't believe anyone is entitled" is not to be disputed.
I believe that everyone is entitled to monetary success if they are capable of getting it. I also believe that what he meant is that those who don't have the ability will be given it by the government. i sure don't agree with you about the use of the word, entitlement.

But saying you believe that everyone is entitled to monetary success if they are capable of getting it isn't saying that

EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO SUCCESS

Do you understand that?

I will take this short clip of Obama saying you aren't entitled to success, just the opportunity of success over what Romney said about 47% of Americans: "I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."
I didn't know this thread was about both candidates. I saw only the president speaking in that OP video. I guess sometimes we just have to bring in the other guy when using deflection in the old Alinsky method.

I will return to using The Won so you can understand it better. You did know that he said "I won" back in the days when he was telling the GOP members of Congress that he was through trying to compromise with them, I hope. Yep you would prefer The Won so you can have it.

Can you come up with some Obama words about spending cuts and higher taxes? There have been plenty of them, but spending continues to go on with his credit card of no budget available.
