President Obama told an audience at a fire station in Roanoke Virginia, "If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet." (emphasis added)[1][2]
- The Obama campaign said the president's phrase, "You didn't build that," referred to his point that small businesses didn't build public infrastructure but Republicans say it shows how the president believes in a government-driven economy that fundamentally distrusts private enterprise.[3]
- The Obama statement and the subsequent exchange with Mitt Romney drew satire from the Colbert Report.[4]
