OBAMA'S STATEMENT: "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 youve got a business you didnt build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didnt get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet. The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together.'
MITT'S STATEMENT: There are a lot of people in government who help us and allow us to have an economy that works and allow entrepreneurs and business leaders of various kinds to start businesses and create jobs. We all recognize that. Thats an important thing. I know that you recognize a lot of people help you in a business. Perhaps the banks, the investors. Theres no question your mom and dad, your school teachers, the people that provide roads, the fire, the police. A lot of people help."

Nice that he mentions the philanthropists who "provide roads" -- you don't hear about them very often.
