The book is a rebuttal to Barack Obama’s, “You didn’t build that!” nonsense.
“If you got a business, you didn’t build that!”
Tonight Michelle Malkin went on Hannity to discuss her new book. Michelle told Sean she dedicated the book to Barack Obama and is sending him a copy. She hopes he reads it. He may learn something about America.
Good idea.
Thanks! Stay tuned for a cool kick-off today. #whobuiltthat https://t.co/lw33wz7DwO

The Sean Hannity website has more on the book.
In July 2012, President Obama infamously proclaimed: “If you’ve got a business—you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”
Malkin wholeheartedly disagrees. Who Built That is a rousing tribute to the hidden American capitalists who pioneered everyday inventions. They’re the little big things we take for granted: bottle caps and glassware, tissue paper, flashlights, railroad signals, bridge cables, revolutionary plastics, and more.
Malkin takes readers on an eclectic journey of American capitalism, from the colonial period to the Industrial Age to the present, spotlighting awe-inspiring and little-known “tinkerpreneurs” who achieved their dreams of doing well by doing good. You’ll learn how famous patent holders Abraham Lincoln and Mark Twain championed the nation’s unique system of intellectual property rights; how glass manufacturing mavericks Edward Libbey and Mike Owens defied naysayers to revolutionize food, beverage, and pharmaceutical packaging; how penniless Croatian immigrant Anthony Maglica started his $400 million Maglite flashlight business in a rented garage; and many more riveting stories that explain our country’s fertile climate for scientific advancement and entrepreneurship.
