It occurs to me that reaction to President Obama's "you didn't build that" remarks illustrates something of a Rorschach test. Conservatives, even those who saw that the "build that" properly referred to infrastructure, teachers, etc., stress the individual overcoming obstacles to succeed. Liberals scratch their heads based on the seemingly inarguable notion that the greatest system ever built provides shoulders on which entrepreneurs may stand. It may come down to something like a Trojans-Bruins partisanship that rarely changes minds, even those that aren't inclined to root for either team.
