President Obama is trying to get a little coverage since all eyes are on the Republicans in New Hampshire. So he did what he always does - delivered another partisan speech.
In his first campaign speech of the election year, President Obama defended big government and condemned Republicans’ “brand of you’re-on-your-own economics.”
“We can’t go back to this brand of you’re-on-your-own economics,” he said to a crowd of roughly 700 at the Capital Hilton. Tickets to the fundraising event cost $100.
“We are not a country that was built on the idea of survival of the fittest,” Obama said, invoking populist undertones. “We were built on the idea that we survive as a nation. We thrive when we work together, all of us.” (Read More)
He went on to say that Republicans in Congress and the GOP primary candidates all want to follow other countries in a race to the bottom. That’s kind of funny for him to say, since a race to the bottom has been his foreign and domestic policy since day 1. Unfortunately, he’s succeeding.

Update: Oh look, he also played the race card. How hopey-changey of him.
If Obama cannot change, fire him! There are many other more qualified candidates that would work for change that will benefit all classes of Americans!

America was built on the concept of survival of the fittest. That is the whole foundation of capitalism and the free-market.
This guy is really starting to irritate me wiht his socialism talk and little red book excerpts.

And you, dear sir, fail to mention that both houses of Congress were held by Democrats at the time. And you, dear sir, forget to mention that the President’s policies have increased the cost of doing business in America due to new permits, forms, and regulations from unelected agencies. And you, dear sir, forget that the Fearless Leader promised us if we spent billions on the Porkulous Projects that we would all be rich, good looking, smart, and happy and have rainbows and Unicorns in our front yards.
