The Opinion page has run letters from business owners regarding President Obama’s statement about business and success.
Whenever a president makes a gaffe, usually it’s followed by a clarification or apology. When none appeared, I was puzzled.
I finally found out through a morning news program that one Obama statement was actually lifted from an older speech. It was taken out of context by the opposition’s campaign drivers. Within context, the sentence makes sense because the president was making a point that success depends not only on hard work, but on spousal support, community support, and customers.
What we have are two capable and intelligent men running for president, and both are guilty of pointing the finger at each other and making each other look as bad as possible. But I guess that is the way with politics nowadays.
