Obama Rejects Attackers' Cries of 'Socialism'!
Speaking to the Business Roundtable yesterday, Obama said: "Contrary to the claims of some of my critics, I am an ardent believer in the free market," Obama said in prepared remarks. "We have arrived at a juncture in our politics where reasonable efforts to update our regulations, or make basic investments in our future, are too often greeted with cries of 'government takeover' or even 'socialism',".
"Getting this balance right has less to do with big government or small government than it does smart government. It's not about being anti-business or pro-government; it's about being pro-growth and pro-jobs," he said.
Once again, can we really believe anything this man says?
