Have a look at George Will's opinion piece entitled "Purdue has the president America needs." As noted by Mr. Will, President Obama declared at Howard University's commencement ceremony one month ago:
"People who have been successful and don’t realize they've been lucky. That God may have blessed them; it wasn’t nothing you did."
"Wasn't nothing"? Perhaps the president requires a remedial high school English course.
But more to the point, this remarkable take on human endeavor followed on the heels of the president's earlier pronouncement on July 13, 2012 in Roanoke, Virginia:
"If you've got a business – you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."
Which brings me to Hillary's kindred assertion at an October 24, 2014 Boston rally:
"Don’t let anybody tell you it’s corporations and businesses create jobs."
Or stated otherwise, you owe it all to God and government, and God does not help those who help themselves.
Thanks, Barry and Hill. I'm taking the next three months off. Time to estivate and allow God and government to watch over the ship. See you in September.
