but then, a challenger appears! source

disputed this claim by looking into Gilchrist’s history, revealing that he took over $1 million in government loans since the 1980s, including $800,000 in tax-exempt bonds issued by the New Hampshire Business Finance Authority to build a new manufacturing plant and buy equipment. Gilchrist also admitted to the paper that he took a U.S. Small Business Administration loan of “somewhere south of” $500,000 in the 1980s, and said that to this day about 10 percent of his business comes from defense-related projects.

So, a loan which, I imagine, he repaid, means he couldn't have succeeded without government? Do we know he couldn't have gotten a similarly-sized loan from a private bank?

The point of Romney's ad was that Obama was crazy to say entrepreneurs need help. Romney is claiming they have nobody to thank.

If he could have, why didn't he? Why did he pass the hat around the government offices like a busker looking for beer money?

Obama was of course talking about the country's infrastructure of education, roads, ect... that all directly and indirectly help businesses succeed in the leadup to the selective quote used in Mitt's advertisement. Pretty much a classic strawman. That the self-rightous featured business man had taken multiple gov't loans means he fails at even the false standard of Mitt's strawman

The roads wouldn't exist without the tax dollars from the private sector to pay for them.

I do give you socialists credit for finally being open about your economic ideology, though. It's about time, and I'm glad Obama opened up about it too. It's time we had the private vs. public sector argument in an election, and actually be able to have the citizens vote on it.
