There it is. This is precisely how the Extreme Left---Obama, Axelrod, everyone else in this leftwing, ultra-liberal administration views the free market. Economic liberty is merely a "theory." And one that hasn't worked. As Obama himself has said, "It hasn't worked. It's never worked." What?
To the Extreme Left, economic freedom is a failed theory that needs to be tossed out and replaced with their vision of government-enforced redistributionism.
Later in the same day, Obama gave a press conference, and said: "This is part of the debate that we're going to be having in this election campaign about how we can create an economy where everybody, from top to bottom, folks on Wall Street and folks on Main street have a shot at success."
Pay very close attention to his phrase: "how we CREATE an economy . . ." That is the key to everything he has done. He doesn't believe in the free market, or in individuals pursuing their economic interests and their dreams. He believes in a redistributive socialist state enforced through government coercion. That is the kind of economy he is trying to CREATE. Pay close attention to what he says because he's "telling us exactly what he's doing" and where he's "taking the country", if only our ears and eyes are open enough to hear and see it.

Dave - I have to disagree on your perspective. The reference to "Economic Theory" was in regards to top-down economics, which is what the right proposed to return. How did that work out? No regulation, unrestrained financial institutions out of control, two wars etc.. etc... The definition of Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. Something different has to be done and Obama isn't proposing "socialism" by a long shot. What he's proposing is to reconsider how our economy works. Stop off-shore job flight (Ala Walmarts of the world) Stop dependancy on foreign oil and stop giving large financial institutions the power to sway our economy.
Something different has to be tried or we'll be in the same boat as 2008. A big F'in mess and who got us there???
Obama, while not perfect, is suggesting we focus on the big three. Pay down our debt (Which GW got us in with senseless war(s)), pull jobs back to American soil and end our dependancy on foreign oil.
Just another opinion. 8-)
