When I first heard it, I went "WTF? He said people who have their own business didn't build it"? Then I see it can mean that OR it can refer the infrastructure in the prior sentence. It isn't a gaffe in my book, but something calculated and said on purpose, probably generating the exact response it is now in some circles. On my end, I have had the experience of both doing welfare and trying to build a business. |
Honestly, I agree that it was probably referring to roads and bridges in the previous sentence. However, I disagree completely that it wasn't a gaffe. There is no way that it was some calculated move because it exposes Obama to a common attack by republicans, that he is weak on business. In a down economy, that is exactly where you don't want to be. Much more likely is Obama lost his place and missed a point and tried to go back and finish the thought.
