In a campaign swing through Virginia on Friday, President Obama made some misguided and unpopular comments about small business owners and entrepreneurs. Hist "you didn't build that" remark is becoming a point of attck from opponents on all sides.
Obviously, the Romney campaign jumped at the opportunity to demonstrate he is "unqualified to lead. . . a real economic recovery."
Political campauigns aside, the Obama campaign is now hearing from business leaders and groups about his "unfortunate" comments.
David Chavern, chief operating officer of the Chamber of Commerce, "We should applaud the risk-takers and the dreamers who are willing to stand out from the crowd." In a Chamber blog post Chavern went on to say that small business owners to be encouraged not denigrated.
The National Federation of Independent Business weighed in on the discussion saying the remarks were "unfortunate." The association further noted that small business owners, "know that hard work does matter."
The Obama campaign dismissed the remarks as a way for the Romney campaign to deflect from the Bain Capital and outsourcing. The Obama campaign and White House are well known for their ability to deflect from Obama's miserable economic record.
The remarks continue to reflect that the President is out of touch with the concerns and worries of the people and voters.
