Obama: We've gone a bit 'soft'

President Obama, making his pitch to Floridians in a state where polls show him struggling, characterized the nation's problems this way:

“This is a great country that had gotten a little soft, and we didn’t have that same competitive edge that we needed over the last couple of decades,” Obama told Payne. “We need to get back on track, but I still wouldn’t trade our position with any countries on Earth. We still have the best universities, best scientists and best workers in the world. We still have the most dynamic economic system in the world. So we just need to bring those things together.”

Thank you for that as it sums up the dumb idiots whom cheered him . A Hollywood script and that is all this last election was. If the fools actually took a step back and had a brain plus the GOP had balls then we might have not, infact we would not have had this dumb fool who has no record, no past and certainly no job making. how nice would it have been if we had a fair press which vetted both candidates.

riding a girls bicycle wearing a silly helmet, then we had him cowering when he saw Judo being displayed and then photos of him putting up curtains. Meanwhile we had Putin tackling Tigers etc. What a big girls blouse this man is but it is so typical of the liberal man,

....We still have the best universities, best scientists and best workers in the world. We still have the most dynamic economic system in the world. So we just need to bring those things together.”

And the Marxist is wrong on every single point, as usual. We have destroyed our universities by forcing them to accept the false premise that humans are inducing global warming (AGW). That cronyism falsehood has permeated and destroyed everything and everyone it has touched. The economic system was the best in the world until it collapsed under the weight of crony socialist and crony capitalist. And now the shackles of regulation has increased our burden so greatly that only those who completely ignore these regulations have a chance at profit and dynamism (ie- the black market). You cannot possibly succeed by uniting a group of things we no longer possess.

we didn’t have that same competitive edge that we needed over the last couple of decades,”

Sounds like an indictment of Clinton, IMO

[woofie]

the greater the regulation, the lesser the liberty Competition, innovation and entrepreneurism is stifled in a highly regulatiry and bureaucratic environment. Just look at what that did to CA.

[Califreak]

What’s he talking about?

Electile dysfunction?

[Revolting cat!]

This is a good one if the Pubbie strategerists are not too shy to pick it up!

This alone could turn the election like Jimmah's malaise did.

[Revolting cat!]

The limp wristed stalinist faggot has the nerve to tell us!

[ColdOne]
