Obama On Free Markets: "We Tried It. It's Not Like We Did Not Try"

"If we would just convert these investments that we're making through out government in education, research and healthcare. If we just turn those into tax cuts, especially for the wealthy, then somehow the economy is going to grow stronger. That's the theory," President Obama said about the right at a campaign event on the tax code in Boca Raton, Florida today.

This attack on business will never create jobs.

Is it evil to sit out the process?

Yes, that would be facilitating Obama a 'more flexible' second term.

Now more than ever, we need conservatives at every level of government. State, local, federal, judicial, executive, legislative----
they ALL matter.

We must turn the tide against liberalism before America
is swept away by their tsunami. Please do your part.
Support conservative candidates. Vote. Support Free Republic.

Okay, let’s try communism for a while.

Well, dividing and setting people against one another is what Community Organizers do.

You know, there was PLENTY of bitching here when Bush had a Republican congress...and some of it was DESERVED. But look at what happened when Obama had a Democrat congress...they did SO MUCH WORSE and they did it with glee.

We truly have to replace Obama with a Republican AND we have to replace the Senate majority with Republicans. This is not an overnight solution...and we will endure plenty of slings and arrows along the way. And not every vessel of turning the country around will be perfect. In fact, NONE of them will be perfect.

Work with what you have...and always strive for a better world. But seriously, demonizing well-meaning but flawed Republicans isn’t in our nation’s interest. The Obamakooks know their hero is flawed...but they will work for his agenda.

I think we conservatives are smarter...knowing our party is flawed, but working to hold our leaders accountable by pushing the party to the right with our congressional and grass roots leaders.

We have to be cheerful, like Reagan, too. Some of us walk around like we’ve been weaned on a pickle.

0bama will finally be happy if and when he achieves a load of white people working out in rice paddies so that underpriveleged ghetto folks living in efficiency apartments can keep getting their welfare checks.

Finally, a job you are qualified for - shill for a left-wing news outlet.

Yeah - and half of this site wants obama for another term!

incredible! he needs to go!

[Buckeye McFrog]

Part of their overall paradigm that “Capitalism has failed, time to try something else”.

[Texas Eagle]

Luckily for Urkel, most of the audience are products of our vaunted public “investment” in education and are, therefore, incapable of telling sh*t from shinola.

[Texas Eagle]

Well, shucks, Huck, you gave it the good old college try.

Take a powder. Let somebody else have a shot at it.

"If we would just convert these investments that we're making, and throw through out government in education, research and healthcare.

With just a little editing, this makes sense!

And the Chinese and Soviets didn't follow the doctrine correctly either, Comrade O. The US will do it right under your great leadership.

What a narcissist.

[Scotswife]

for me, it has come to this....

Who do I despise more? rinos? or marxists?

sigh

[jimfree]

No, it’s not like you tried. It’s more like you tried to impede, impair, and impugn. Kinda like the misbehaving kid or dog that you beat regularly.

Barack Obama has only tried to kill the free market. It’s hard to operate efficiently if you have a hit on you from a Chicago thug.

[Texas Eagle]

This attack on business will never create jobs.

It's almost as if that's the plan.

[hal ogen]

nobama is truly a mental midget who hates Free America. nobama wouldn’t know freedom if it hit him in his marxist, self-entitled face.

"We Tried It. It's Not Like We Did Not Try"

I used to pull this same MO when I was a kid....
Lawn mowing day - hated it....
Go out to the garage, didn't fill it with gas, just keep pulling on the cord.
Yup, mower doesn't work.
Go back inside
My father would find me on the couch watching TV,
"Why isn't the lawn done?"
"I tried it, it's not like I did not try it, It doesn't work"

My father would drag me out to the garage again...check the gas - yup, not enough gas...fill it....pull the cord....nothing - flooded...
"See, I tried it, it's not like I didn't try it"

I knew better too....Don't think Barry doesn't...he just doesn't want to cut the grass...

Obama On Free Markets: "We Tried It. It's Not Like We Did Not Try"

He went on: "... But you know the thing we haven't tried yet? Communism. Pure Communism, shown to us by the Great Karl Marx. By Executive Order, I hereby abolish private property."
