Obama to UAW: America Is ‘Not Just About Greed’ and ‘Trying to Climb to the Very Top’

In a speech to the United Auto Workers on Tuesday, President Obama took his biggest step yet toward articulating his own theory of what makes America special. And based on Obama’s remarks, that appears to be a commitment to… egalitarianism? CNSNews has the report:
President Obama – in a speech to the United Auto Workers union – said that “trying to climb to the very top” was not what America is “about,” saying that it was “greed” and that in reality “we’re all in it together.”
“America’s not just looking out for yourself, it’s not just about greed, it’s not just about trying to climb to the very top and keep everybody else down,” Obama said at the UAW’s annual National Community Action Program Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C. [...]
“When our assembly lines grind to a halt, we work together, and we get them going again,” he said. “When somebody else falters, we try to give them a hand up, because we know [that] we’re all in it together.”
And here‘s the video of the President’s remarks:
In another portion of the speech, the President attacked what he called the “you-are-on-your-own-philosophy” of his opponents. This is not the first time he has used this phrase to attack Republican economic ideas — in fact, he used almost the exact same phrase in his acceptance speech at the 2008 Democratic convention to attack the Bush administration:
Out of work? Tough luck, you’re on your own. No health care? The market will fix it. You’re on your own. Born into poverty? Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, even if you don’t have boots. You are on your own.
The fact that this old chestnut of Obama campaign rhetoric is working its way back into his speeches may be a preview of ways in which the President’s election strategy will mirror his strategy in 2008. Will this line work as an attack on Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum or Newt Gingrich? Weigh in below.

Posted on February 29, 2012 at 12:16amThanks OBAMA you already looted the treasury, inflated the currency, pitched us into unrecoverable debt, financed wars abroad, and bailed out your buddies at home. We know WHO THE GREEDY ONE IS.
We will not let the most powerful do whatever he pleases. We are taking you OUT of leadership and put you back where you came from – Marxist Underground Revolutionaries.

Report Post »You have been lied to all your life, we understand you will continue to believe what your told to believe, we understand you were not taught how to think but rather what to think. Some people go a life time (probably you will to) not knowing how to think, but they have really trained you well. Someday if you figure out how to think, on how Americans can make it to the top with an extended hand lifting others with them, by hard work not the government (as even you have to know that you can not make it to the top on government assistance unless your scamming) But that is not how you have been told to think so maybe not. Bailing out failures as the stimulus has done, does not let the top fall as they should and the others rise. Doing it collectively only drags the ones that work hard to get to the top down, and eventually makes it not worth it for anyone to work hard, There is no turning back once people like you get us there.

You didn’t create REFORMS, you created FASCISM, poverty, and unemployment. You created MASSIVE DEBT and inflation. You created lie after lie, and the way you gave someone a “hand up” was to put a hand up their shorts and grab their wallet.
In your future version of America everyone is equally poor and miserable. In your future America, everyone shares the lowest common denominator, and America is the least prosperous country, because of you and phonies like you, who seek to take what they have not justly earned or created.

Posted on February 29, 2012 at 12:11amThe fact of the mater is that in a free country you have the same rights as every one else but he is trying to give others special rights by his redistribute the wealth policy. In a free country you are free to help others without the government interfering with your efforts by taxing the gifts you may give to others. In a free country we all have the opportunity to get rich and prosper without some government taking what we earn so they can buy votes from others.
This guy is so misguided its really sickening to listen to him talk. He must realize that in his utopia world their are more losers then winners just by virtue of his wanting to take all the wealth. How stupid do you half to be not to realize that a poor country offers no advantage to anyone but the dictator and his cronies.
