Following is a text of President Obama’s prepared remarks in Osawatomie, Kan., as released by the White House on Tuesday:

Good afternoon.  I want to start by thanking a few of the folks who’ve joined us today.  We’ve got the mayor of Osawatomie, Phil Dudley; your superintendent, Gary French; the principal of Osawatomie High, Doug Chisam.  And I’ve brought your former governor, who’s now doing an outstanding job as our Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius.

Ever since, there has been a raging debate over the best way to restore growth and prosperity; balance and fairness. Throughout the country, it has sparked protests and political movements – from the Tea Party to the people who have been occupying the streets of New York and other cities.

Obama and his Class want prosperity but it is not something for the common people.

I don’t see how this “disses” OWS. Obama is lumping in the Tea Party movement with OWS to give OWS some sort of moral equivalency. In reality, one movement supports capitalism, limited government, and fidelity to the vision of our Founders and the other movement supports a statist, Marxist view of the class struggle and redistribution of wealth.

Actually,it's very simple,Tea Party is capitalized,obama has thrown the ows under the bus.

The NYT edited the remarks. From the LA Times -

Well, it is great to be back in the state of Tex -- (laughter) -- state of Kansas. I was giving Bill Self a hard time, he was here a while back. As many of you know, I have roots here.

Man, is he a dolt.

I wish they would have gone ahead and committed him.

[mountainlion]

Is he scheduled to speak in Pueblo?

[colorado tanker]

LOL!

He probably is because he seems to be out here about once a month. For whatever reason Obama's brain (?) trust seems to think Colorado is a key battleground state.

So Obama is Teddy Roosevelt now in the latest escape from his record. I’m sure the Rough Rider would have never bowed down to every anti-American regime, like Obama has. Dan Quayle couldn’t pawn himself off as Jack Kennedy but the News media sees nothing implausible about Obama pretending he’s no different than turn-of-the-century Republican progressive Theodore Roosevelt. Weird.
