It’s a valiant attempt to spin Obama’s marxist statements into free enterprise clothing.

The guy just has to wear a mask.

The best commentary on Obama’s statement, IMHO, is here:

Thanks for link.

What divides liberals and conservatives is not roads and bridges but Julia’s world, an Obama campaign creation that may be the most self-revealing parody of liberalism ever conceived. It’s a series of cartoon illustrations in which a fictional Julia is swaddled and subsidized throughout her life by an all- giving government of bottomless pockets and “Queen for a Day” magnanimity. At every stage, the state is there to provide — preschool classes and cut-rate college loans, birth control and maternity care, business loans and retirement. The only time she’s on her own is at her grave site.

Julia’s world is totally atomized. It contains no friends, no community and, of course, no spouse. Who needs one? She’s married to the provider state.

The comments following the Krauthammer piece you posted gives further insight into the ‘progressive’ thought process. It does not occur to them that the need for infrastructure comes as a result of private enterprise. The need for roads and bridges resulted from consumer demand for automobiles produced by private enterprise, not the other way around. The same goes for the rapid advancements in electronics and computers.
