I'm a business owner and my parents were factory workers who had amazing work ethics but had no doors to open for me when it was time for me to create a business and try to be successful. Many business owners came from terrible odds to make it happen.

Yes, this is a "bash Obama thing" because what he stated isn't the truth. He slammed all business owners as people who needed someone to give them a chance to make it. What a terrible message for young people who feel that all odds are against them if they don't have someone who gives them a chance?

He has no concept of what it takes to own a business. Yes,... we do it on our own. The government didn't help us, they stood in our way in the form of tax dollars and terrible assistance programs that charge the same if not more in interest on a small business loan. It takes sweat equity, stress and risk to run a business and that statement shows his ignorance.
