    Default Obama admits that the private sector works best

    In the Presidents town Hall meeting today he admitted that the private sector works the best and government screws things up. It was inadvertent but that is in essences what he was saying.

    I mean, if you think about -- if you think about it, UPS and FedEx are doing just fine, right? No, they are. It's the Post Office that's always having problems. (Laughter.)

    The private sector works best. But the private sector doesn't allow him to have control over everyone's lives.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    Another great quote from the so called intelligent President.

    Mr. President, if you are trying to convince people to support government, citing government failure isnt the best way to go about it.
    If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin

    Imagine what good we can do if we all joined together, united as followers of Christ - M. Russell Ballard

    From what I've seen, the Private Sector (that's you and me) have been allowing him EXACTLY that. We've been gradually turning over more and more control of formerly-private things (business, healthcare, unemployment support, zoning, workplace safety, retirement etc.) to Obama, or the ones that came before him.

    Nice to see a few conservatives finally speak up at these town hall meetings. But is it too little, too late?

    The socialists got knocked back in 1993 with the defeat of Hillarycare and the booting out of Democrats from every majority in Congress. But despite that positive step, the overall trend has been to slide ever more into socialism - a trend that continues to this day.

    The CONSTITUTION doesn't allow Obama to have control over everyone's lives. But the socialists have been blithely ignoring it... and the Private Sector (remember who that is?) has been letting them get away with it. Again, a few are now speaking up. But will that soon be brushed over and ignored as the speakers go back to their jobs and their families, and Obama Inc. continues the long-term trend?
    "The social contract exists so that everyone doesn’t have to squat in the dust holding a spear to protect his woman and his meat all day every day. It does not exist so that the government can take your spear, your meat, and your woman because it knows better what to do with them." - Instapundit.com

    I lies profusely and will say what he finds convenient at the time and in front
    of whoever!!!!

    Makes me think of the saying "when is he lying"...."when his mouth is open"!
    Someone should alert him that a large collection of conflicting statements
    from him are accumulating at a rapid rate!!!!
    What are reparations? Making me pay
    for something I had nothing to do with compensates no one
    who suffered an injustice therefore I would be penalized for
    something I didnt do and someone else would receive a settlement
    for an injury they did not suffer.

    For a minute there I thought the "I" was refering to me.

    I was going to inform you that as far as I knew, you didn't know me well enough to make such a statement.
