This country does not just succeed when just a few are doing well at the top,” Obama said, according to a rush transcript of the remarks. “It succeeds when the middle class gets bigger. Our economy does not grow from the top-down, it grows from the middle-out. We do not believe that anybody is entitled to success in this country. But we do believe in opportunity. We believe in a country where hard work pays off and responsibilities are rewarded and everybody is getting a fair shot and everybody’s doing their fair share. And everybody’s paying by the same rules. That is the country believe in. That is what we have been fighting for the last four years. That is what we’re going to put in place in the next four years if you reelect me as president of the United States of America.”

Obama: "It succeeds when the middle class gets bigger."
Biden:"The middle class has been buried the last four years"

So, who has been burying the middle class the last four years, and who will help the middle class in the future?

On its face that is a mostly true statement. No one is entitled to success, but they are entitled to the opportunity for success. What one does wth that opportunity is up to him. With that said, and knowing what I know about our moron President, I am pretty damn sure he also meant that no one is entitled to the opportunity for success.

Then Obama, you are NOT entitled to a SECOND TERM.

Can you say “President-elect Mitt Romney?”

“Our economy does not grow from the top-down, it grows from the middle-out.”

What does that even mean?

Producers grow economies,because they are the ones providing the stuff, made with the jobs they hire people to do, so that those workers can buy it with the paychecks those producers give to them.

“everybody is getting a fair shot’

Anyone else says this and it means equal opportunity. When he says it it means redistribution of wealth.

“...and everybody’s doing their fair share.”

His base isn’t going to like that one.

I think what he meant is that if you ARE successful, you are not entitled to keep the fruits of that labor, you gotta share.

Of course not....to a Democrat, success implies some form of actual work ——a paycheck or payout for actually doing something! They’re not about anything in that genre.

They’re not interested in paychecks, they’re interested in payback! And that sure as (you know what!) don’t mean work.

What he means is that nobody is entitled to the FRUITS of their success.

How very "Marxist" of Obama to say these things, loudly and clearly now....

The less you eat, drink and read books; the less you go to the theatre, the dance hall, the public house; the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you save-the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor dust will devour-your capital. The less you are, the more you have; the less you express your own life, the greater is your alienated life-the greater is the store of your estranged being.” ― Karl Marx
