    Now I get ya, Equality of opportunity + equality of outcome = Socialism. Either way the government cannot legislate equality of anything, especially when there are the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons of the world.

    Well, if you try to legislate equality of outcome, you have to remove equality of opportunity. On a level playing field I cannot out swim Michael Phelps. To get equality of outcome we would have to tie an anchor to Mr. Phelps meaning that the opportunity would no longer be equal. To achieve the equal outcome we had to handicap someone.

    Kurt Vonnegut wrote an excellent short story called "Harrison Bergeron" satirizing this.

    In the mind of Barack Obama, people who are successful (save himself, or people he likes) have somehow cheated or had some unfair advantage. This is why Michael Moore can build multi-million dollar empire, using non-union, foreign labor, exploiting tax loopholes to fight the 1% who build multi-million dollar empires, using non-union, foreign labor and exploiting tax loopholes; and be able to sleep at night.

    He is only in touch with his own power and desire to make this a socialist country. He has to break the private sector to continue his government hiring. His words are very exact he states that the private sector is fine while regulating business and energy into the ground. He then states that government hiring is going the wrong way that we need more gov't jobs not less.

    This is a case where a politician gets lambasted for accidentally telling a TRUTH.

    This level of unemployment's the NORM for EuroSocialist countries like he wants to transform us into. I've pointed out for some years that many who lost their jobs will NEVER work again if the left gets it's way during this period of stagnation.

    I AM gratified to see Obama's HARD left Marxist supporters disappointed by his soft left EuroSocialist aims, but if he gets re-elected I'll bet the gloves come off & OWS types will insinuate themselves into his administration.

    Way out of touch.

    About those 4.3 million jobs that he and Biden supposedly created: Those are really 4.3 million "payroll contract assignments" - the government's been doing this decades.

    If you have a contract for a month's-worth-of-work for ten (10) people, then Obama and Biden are gonna say they created ten (10) jobs. They try to make it sound like they created ten (10) permanent full-time jobs with benefits and a high rate of pay, when really those jobs could be temporary, part-time jobs, with low pay and no benefits, like the U.S. Census work.

    I worked for the U.S. Census Bureau for almost 4 months, and that was more than most people. Yet Obama and Biden count my almost-4-months as a job they created.

    I think he totally is cutoff from the people - at least mentally. He lives in an ivory tower, while he depends on his closest political allies to feed him his information. Maybe when he says "Private Sector" he means himself. I am sure he is doing well.

    Obama is merely the LAST of the many Democrats to come out and say something that he later had to retract..

    Is he disconnected?? Of COURSE,, but he always HAS been.. Is THIS a prime example of that..

    The more that I think of it,, the more inclined I am to say NO..

    He's NOT so disconnected with what's going on that he's NOT as Desparate as the REST of the Democrats..

    WHY shouldn't Obama think that the private sector is fine?? He spends ALL his time surrounded by Hollywood types who fawn ALL over him like he's the second coming while his family vacations like they're doing episodes of "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous"..
    \
    Can ANYONE out there tell me truthfully that they wouldn't think that everything's just fine if you lived Obama's lifestyle??

    The ONLY people in this country that are ALLOWED to act like Millionaires are those in Obama's Adminstration and his friends..

    Which is why ANY improvements in the economy happened AFTER the Republicans took over the House and STOPPED Obama's Spending Sprees.. When a TRAIN is INTENTIONALLY being headed over a Cliff,, sabotaging the engineer's efforts is a GOOD thing..

    It SEEMS that the ones REALLY disconnected with reality are Obama Supporters who KEEP making excuses for him..

    Like Obama isn't the Champion of Excuses all by himself..

    tell me again how long it will take at 1.1% GDP growth and 4% inflation to grow the economy back to where it was before Democrats took congress in 06 ???
    BTW how do you resolve the way you pretend that President Bush was to blame for 06 to 08 - but Obama is not to blame for 08 to now ? If Obama is powerless now then Pelosi is to blame for the housing crash then ! deal with it kid

    "tell me again how long it will take at 1.1% GDP growth and 4% inflation to grow the economy back to where it was before Democrats took congress in 06 ??? "

    I don't know about the entire economy but it has been reported by many sources that it would take 500,000 people getting jobs each and every month for the next five years to get back to the 5% unemployment rate that existed the DAY before the Democrats took over the COngress in January of 2007..

    Hope THAT gives you some Idea..

    If you look at it in context, he's not actually wrong. The US economy is growing slowly largely due to government austerity- clearly the answer is increased, rather than decreased, government spending.
