I wouldn’t call it a gaffe but Obama simply giving his opinion based upon how he desires the world to be.
He hates individual, free enterprise capitalism and his various actions at stamping it out with the expected downturn of jobs being lost is great in his opinion.
At the same time government job growth is increasing. He loves government controlling the capital of this country and making government bigger allows that happen.
It would be nice to have a prez who loves free-enterprise capitalism over state-controlled capitalism but were stuck with him until this November.
Even if Romney is elected, since he is a Progressive just like Obama, don’t expect it to change much.
Let’s look at this issue from an “Obama” standpoint.
He hates “free enterprise.” Maybe because that leaves the owner of the enterprise free to hire and fire based on merit?
He loves public sector jobs. Perhaps because he can control, through the government, the percentages of those employed. If they don’t have enough of “his “ people, the government can step in and demand that more be not only hired, but promoted to top level positions.
I am certainly not saying that minorities are not capable of doing the job or that they don’t have the desire to do a good job. I have worked with minorities who are stand-outs within their organization, but Obama has a chip on his shoulder and wants percentages, not performance. He also seems to fall into that category of race baiter who may have contempt for anyone who actually earns their position - and those minorities who earned their positions are no better than “white boys” in his estimation. Sorry - but that is just the way I see Obama.
