Poor Barack. He's been viciously SwiftQuoted. He spoke -- then his opponents quoted him. How viciously unfair!
Here's a roundup of some great reactions from the dextrosphere:
"These words were not delivered in tones of respect and 'We're all in this together,' camaraderie. They were meant to put people in their place."
"It’s a casual dismissal of what it takes to succeed mixed with a sense of entitlement to what entrepreneurs create, along with a tsk-tsk implication that they give nothing back despite the fact that they pay taxes."

William Jacobson:
"The entirety of Obama’s speech, and not just the sentence in question, articulated a collectivist approach advocated by Elizabeth Warren and others (more on that in a subsequent post) which focuses on individual indebtedness to government, which puts government at the center of who we are as a people.
"This is a debate we need to have."
William Teach:
"Whiny President Whines About People Talking About Him As He Talks About Other People"
