      Not only does this piece not quote Pence saying "pretty much the same thing," it does not even attempt to argue that he did. To contend otherwise is to wholly miss the point of why Obama's riff was controversial http://baseballcrank.com/archives2/2012/10/politics_barack_7.php …https://twitter.com/JimSwiftDC/status/1163903697698660352 …

      Remember when Obama said "you didn't build that" and conservatives lost their shit? Mike Pence did pretty much the same thing. Because he's a phony. https://thebulwark.com/mike-pences-hollow-populism/ …

      I'm saying they're similarly controversial, Dan: a president suggesting hard working Americans aren't hard working. Appreciate the bankshot defense of Pence that wholly missed the point. Good job buddy.

      So in other words, it is similar only because you say any two things that anyone disagrees with are similar? The criticism was not that Obama was "suggesting hard working Americans aren't hard working". If you *actually* believe that, I don't know what to tell you.

      I was around for that controversy, too! Obama was suggesting that government help was part of the reason for private success, in other words, their success was not due to hard work, but with the help of government. Hope that clarifies what I'm trying to say.

      That is still an extreme stretch, and if you were attempting to make it the point of the article, you probably should have at least mentioned it in the article.

          Fair. No, it's not the main point of the article. It was an ancillary after the fact argument to promote on Twitter.

          Dan’s upset because you compared behavior of someone he likes to similar behavior of someone he hates. End of story.
