Can you point out an example of Obama demonizing business and business people?

Pretty sure OP's referencing "You didn't build that."

But that was my first thought, too. I think Obama's scorn is really reserved for the idle rich and undertaxed.[/quote]

I agree with you about where Obama's scorn is directed. But, if the OP is truly referencing "You didn't build that", the OP is quite mistaken. That is more of an example of scorn for accurate reporting and advertising. Of course, businessmen didn't build the roads and other public infrastructure that serve their businesses.

With all due respect, I think you are spinning things. I don't see how you can reach this conclusion when viewing the video. And further, well yes, businessmen did build the roads and other public infrastructure that serve their business in the sense that commerce is what leads to taxes that pays for that stuff. People taking raw materials and performing some kind of work that enhances value...that is what leads to commerce and to taxes. So I disagree on both your points.

To some other posters that have wondered, Obama never misses and opportunity to demonize business. This has been done with banks and with BP, for example. He is always looking for "whos neck to step on". I know what you are going to say...the banks caused the mess. Well did you see Barney Frank and Maxine Waters shout down Repbulicans in committee when they asked about Fannie and Freddie about 10 years ago? Are you familiar with Contrywide and Friends of Angelo and the influence pedling that was happening there? Exactly whose consituents were likely to get the NINJA loans anyway? With the banking mess, I would say we got just what we deserved and asked for.[/quote]
