Well, I suppose the previous two-hundred-thirty-five years never happened!

CNSNews.com) - In a speech delivered at Osawatomie High School in Osawatomie, Kansas, on Tuesday, President Barack Obama argued that while a limited government that preserves free markets "speaks to our rugged individualism" as Americans, such a system "doesn't work" and "has never worked" and that Americans must look to a more activist government that taxes more, spends more and regulates more if they want to preserve the middle class.

The Five-Year Plans for the National Economy of the Soviet Union (Russian: пятилетка, Pyatiletka) were a series of nation-wide centralized exercises in rapid economic development in the Soviet Union. The plans were developed by a state planning committee based on the Theory of Productive Forces that was part of the general guidelines of the Communist Party for economic development. Fulfilling the plan became the watchword of Soviet bureaucracy. (See Overview of the Soviet economic planning process) The same method of planning was also adopted by most other communist states, including the People's Republic of China. In addition, several capitalist states have emulated the concept of central planning, though in the context of a market economy, by setting integrated economic goals for a finite period of time. Thus are found "Seven-year Plans" and "Twelve-Year Plans". Nazi Germany emulated the practice in its Four Year Plan designed to bring Germany to war-readiness.
Why doesn’t somebody ask the great Zero “if limited government does not work, then how in the hell did we get the middle class”?
PROOF of his abject hatred of the principals of our founding. He should be IMPEACHED for being a TRAITOR.
The stupidity and absurdity of this mindless midget brain is only surpassed by that of the people that agree with him.
When was the last time we had limited government and free markets? 1790?
We’ve tried communism/socialism in various degrees since at least the turn of the last century, if not the turn of the previous one, and things have gotten progressively suckier.
How bad could things have “not worked” compared to what we have now?
These words are actually heard by people and they don't register in their brains ..
I expect Arlington to explode as men come forth to "reprimand" this boy evil.
Worth repeating! So I did!
OK Bambi
You want 2 reconstitute the Soviet Union here, or maybe Communist China, Cuba or North Korea (that’s what yo Mama wanted). Even Castro admits Socialism doesn’t work.
How ‘bout you go back to your Totalitarian Collectivist Socialist Utopia? FOAD & leave the rest of us alone.
He’s really doubling down, isn’t it? And less afraid to espouse his communist roots and ideals. This man needs to go. I don’t care right now who the GOP candidate is.
(Sorry, had to vent that or risk head explode...thanks.)
Well, I suppose the previous two-hundred-thirty-five years never happened!
How much more proof do we need to know that Obama has not seen the football since the kickoff? This is one of the most ignorant statements I have heard from him.
This is flat out Marxism. And the speech was a naked call to the OWS crowd and their supported for violent revolution. We are seeing riots across the world and Obama wants to bring it here. Scary times folks.
How in the world would this idiot have ANY idea about what does or doesn’t work? He has NO clue as he has never run even so much as a successful lemonade stand in the private sector!
May God turn his lying tongue to stone.
What is this? Some sort of Jedi mind trick?
Obama doesn’t want a middle class. He wants a single class. He doesn’t believe in the unequal distribution of wealth; he believes in the equal distribution of poverty.
How would Obama or his speech writer know what has or has not worked? Obama’s speech is all about lying to the masses. The false cosmology of the left leaves them useless and clueless as to the reality of American life.
Oh. Wait. No they don't. Cuba has the exact opposite of limited government and free markets. Cubans turn their houses into rafts to get off that island.
I must be thinking of some other island paradise. North Korea maybe? No. Well, I'm sure there's some place on earth where it can be demonstrated that limited government and free markets work but I'm having a brain freeze right now.
Hey...MalcoX II, Steve Dunham Soetoro, Barry, Soebarkah, Hussein, and all your other AKA names and 17 Social Security numbers...and all your illegal alien relatives:
Speaking of "has never worked"...exactly what have you ever done in your lie of a life...besides being an ACORN occupunk?
If you were paying someone to play president for 4 years and run interference for a moslem takeover of the government - you couldn’t do better than Obama. Once the courts officially accept sharia law and enough state and local elected officials buy into the social justice for moslems meme, christ will be history in North America.
I think we may look back on this speech by Obama as the day his political fate was totally sealed. It needs to be.
An affirmative action ghetto fool. He’s so stupid as to actually believe the rhetoric that’s been disproven throughout history. Only someone who basks in the shade of capitalism can be so stupid.
If you keep pushing for class war, you will eventually get it. Millions will suffer, and you will lose. That is an unquestionable certainty. The only uncertainty involved is the question of how much pain and suffering your approach will cause before it is added to the ash heap of history.
Spot on and precisely correct.
You are partially wrong. OZero does not want a single class, he wants a few elites over the unwashed masses. Think of the royal families of medieval Russia, 100 people controlling millions. In his case, Black Panther captains over all whites and infidels.
This sap-sucking traitor should be pilloried in public stockades and taunted repeatedly, then sent to Fulsom for thirty years of "kissing lessons" (hard time).
I'd love to meet him in person. I'd probably just point at him and laugh hysterically, especially if there were newsies with cameras rolling. Douchebag kommie.
Hey, you are insulting the ghetto folks. OB never lived in a ghetto. Most ghetto dwellers never leave their neighborhoods. This dude lived all over the world.

“I expect Arlington to explode as men come forth to “reprimand” this boy evil.”
Even if enough people complain about this, Hussein’s press stooge will just go on the air and tell us Hussein didn’t really say that, like he usually does.
When Obama looks at that he says, that darkness sure looks peaceful. The rest of humanity says, look at all those capitalist lights shining bright down south.
The question to your buddy would be whose nuts would he be kicking?
How would the Cretin-in-Chief know?
To his simple mind, a beginning history class is more difficult than a course on manifold calculus.
“How would the Cretin-in-Chief know?

I’ve gotta apologize for this one. To even imply that the dumbest president EVAH could even spell “calculus” is a goof of almost “progressive” proportions.
Let’s just say that Mr Butthole hid his grades for a reason.
It’s early, but I’m trying to formulate a thought.
Yes, he wants to preserve the middle class.
We are the ones who pay taxes so the slackers
and crybabies get their gub’mint cheese.
The middle class has to be preserved to do all the
hard work, like worker ants.
And his ‘vision’ of bigger gov and more taxes
means that the middle class will NEVER have the
opportunity to become the UPPER class.
Preserve the worker bees, the Queen needs nectar
and the larvae need to be taken care of.
Bingo:
You hit the nail on the head.
Obama isn’t against HIS being rich.
He enjoys all the trappoings of the rich on our dollars’ while compiling his own rich’s.
He wants his race as Hitlker wanted the Aryan race.
Obama is a racist first and foremost.
And a bitter racist at that.

You know Jesse Jackson? LMAO
Those running for the Republican nomination need to jump on this. If they don’t, we lose.
Oh, Lord, I know you set up kings and depose them. Please depose this man from office. Please!
I agree that it hasn’t worked in the sense that he means “worked”. There is no system that will bring about universal equality of outcomes. There will always be income inequality because we can never get rid of talent, initiative, and work ethic inequality. There will never be a utopia where we all have equal bank accounts and all get to lay around while beautiful naked women feed us grapes.
There is no system that has brought more prosperity to more people while elevating the lot of ordinary people than the free market. And I would argue that a totally free market has never been tried. There has always been government interference from the start in this country. Even though in the beginning we had a relatively free market it has gotten more and more controlled in the name of fairness since the birth of the Republic.
Mr. President, give up. No one on earth is smart enough to run the economy. It can’t be done. Get out of the way and let people take care of themselves. They will do a better job than Washington ever could.
Well at least Barry has finally taken off the mask. The true Marxist has finally appeared. Know him, fear him, get rid of him in Nov 2012.
We had to enslave the free market in order to preserve it.
Can the GOP please start labeling him as a Communist?
It is the TRUTH and it needs to be communicated before we are out of options.
