Of course, people who put in more effort will be more rewarded and admired, but that wasn't the point of his speech - it was that they can't do it all alone, we all work together to make something even greater.
That was his point? Is that from high school or junior high? No man is an island. Duh.
That's why I wondered if he ad-libbed and seriously screwed up what he was trying to say, or needed to hire a new speech writer (as Nobody That Matters also mentioned). It was a crappy speech.
Or since he was off the prompter, maybe it's the real Obama shining through. It would match up with his writings, his fathers beliefs, and most of his past asssociates.

IMO Obama blew it big time with this badly worded speech.
In this slow economy the Leader of the US should be saying to small businesses "What can we do to help and how can we get out of the way, and make it easier for you to grow and succeed and create jobs" Not lecturing businesses and trying to guilt them into paying even higher tax rates than 35%.
Given his body of work, I think your interpretation is likely correct.

Obama has no intention of doing anything of the sort. The whole notion of "What can we do to help and how can we get out of the way, and make it easier for you to grow and succeed and create jobs" does not align with Obama's protocall- and if you want to see what I'm talking about- watch the interview that the Obama's did with Charlie Rose just a few days ago.
He (Obama) explains why he does not agree with the statement about about getting out of the way of business- he came right out and said it.

Contrast Obama to our Democrat Governor Hickenlooper. First thing he did was go around and talk to business leaders and get their inputs. Not sure if it yielded any big immediate results, but he tried, and wasn't lecturing them about paying too little taxes or not appreciating infrastructure, or saying "you didn't build that".
"Red tape and unnecessary regulations are road blocks to economic development," Hickenlooper said. "We need a government that is responsive to our concerns and priorities and spends our tax dollars wisely. That means government needs to know when to regulate and when to get out of the way."
The recommendations were created after a six-month series of "Pits and Peeves" roundtable meetings held in all parts of Colorado.
I actually downloaded the pdf file of the state final report and read it. Just amazing the long list of detailed complaints, and gives you the impression that our state gov't is pretty bad, even worse than I thought.

"There are a lot of people in government who help us and allow us to have an economy that works and allow entrepenuers and business leaders of various kinds to start businesses and create jobs. We all recognize that. That's an important thing."
"I know that you recognize that a lot of people help you in a business. Perhaps the banks, the investors. There's no question your mom and dad. Your school teachers. The people that provide roads, the fire, and the police. A lot of people help."

So this is what we are paying Obama for as President? To fly around the country giving philosophical lectures like he is the wise old Dad speaking to children? Maybe he should stay in Washington and actually do the job we are paying him for, like maybe working on all this year end, fiscal cliff, and thinking about why unemployment is stuck at 8%, and why we have $ Trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see? Minor stuff?
Yeah Congress has to pass the bills, but everyone knows this is going to require all the big shots getting together and coming up with a deal.
