You know, last week the President said to American job creators that if you've got a business, you didn't build that; somebody else made that happen. Well, let me tell you, Mr. President, that prior to coming to Congress I ran my own business for 16 years. Where was the President or this phantom person that he claims that created my business? Where were they when I was driving 60,000 miles a year chasing business or putting in 16-hour days or signing the loan paperwork at the bank so that I could make payroll or keep the wheels turning on my vehicles? The only other person that was there when I started my business was my wife, Melody, who supported me in so many ways. This asinine comment by the President of the United States clearly shows that neither he nor anyone in the administration know anything about creating jobs or running a business here in America. May God bless the real job creators in America, and may God continue to bless this great Nation. Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to address their remarks to the Chair. ____________________
