Obama tries to persuade voters that government is good

AP

 Obama is now arguing that government is not evil

As a candidate,Barack Obama pledged to "make government cool again."After a year that gave birth to the anti-government tea party movement,the president can hardly claim to have succeeded.
Now,Obama appears to be embracing a humbler goal:making the case that government is necessary.

Obama has always advocated a role for government in improving people’s lives. But with anti-government sentiment boiling over amid continued high unemployment — and tax-filing day approaching,likely touching off renewed tea party protests — Obama has been addressing the issue more pointedly. He’s not just speaking in favor of what government can do and offering gentle defenses of government intervention. He’s also taking direct note of the rhetoric on the other side,calling it out and trying to shoot it down.

"You’re hearing a lot of talk these days about government,and government is terrible,and bureaucrats,and they’re taking over and all this stuff. Look,I don’t want government any more than is necessary,"Obama told voters at a town hall in North Carolina last week.

He noted there’s a limit to what private companies can do — and it doesn’t include building roads or paying for public defense.
"That’s where government comes in,"he said.

  • Don't you get a strange feeling as I did when I heard this,that "OOO"is using hypnotic power to brainwash the citizenry,that all is OK and government won't hurt you??? When "OOO"regime has already hurt America in a 100 different ways. It's just like going to the dentist and him saying,IT WON'T HURT NOW,this will only take a moment and it will be over. Hold still now,this is not going to hurt. All the while a nerve is hit,and you just about jump out of the chair. Meanwhile "OOO"is destroying America brick by brick of her foundation.

    In my humble opinion we have an unethical,immoral and outright criminal administration currently in place. As an illegitimate body I for one will not obey anything they attempt to introduce or enact. They have failed to prove there eligibility to hold governmental offices and therefore are not,in my eyes,a legally recognized and authorized body with the authority to govern the United States. I must go on record with the current administration —- I will not abide by anything this administration puts in place,they may do whatever they will,with me or to me,but I refuse to recognize them as the legitimate government of the United States. If they attempt to impose anything not stated in the original Constitution and the Bill of Rights on my life I will oppose them in every way possible with every means at my disposal. If they continue in the manner in which they are currently conducting themselves and attempt to infringe upon my rights or if they attempt to punish me in any way for standing firm in my beliefs I will,sadly and with much regret,leave the United States and seek residency in another country.

    You have said all there is to say about this disgusting piece of crap. How the devil did anyone in their right mind vote for this radical,left-wing muslim S OB? guess they didn't hear what he said about destroying our country. Yeah some jerks will use the Racist card like they do when the truth hurts. Oh,God please help us get rid of this menace and help us get our country back. Please.

    The statement that Gov't is good I can buy except coming from O,based on his past actions,is a big lie. If Gov't 's role is building roads and paying for defense,then why is O's administration running the auto industry,the banking industry,the insurance industry and,recently the intervention in the education industry with his wishy-washy statements on education which undermined the "no child left behind"program which was realizing some success. It is so obvious that he is doing every thing he can to satisfy the unions and gain control of every aspect our freedom.
