Obama: 'America Not About Handouts'

Obama has got to be kidding!

From the Associated Press:

Obama: America about hard work, not handouts

President Barack Obama, promoting his opportunity-for-all economic agenda in the state that helped him get elected, said Wednesday that "America is not about handouts" but people do expect their shot at success. Following up on his State of the Union address, he defended the government's role in ensuring fairness and rejected criticisms about class warfare.

"There's no reason why we can't restore the basic American promise that if you work hard, you can do well," Obama said from a manufacturing plant. He said most people don't have unrealistic ambitions about their economic future but they do want to own a home, save for retirement and "achieve that small measure of an American dream."

..."America is not about handouts," he said. "America is about earning everything you've got."

Good grief. [Insert spit-take here.]

Obama is ALL about handouts from "his stash." His vision for America is entitlements. Obama is about dependence on big government.

The American dream under Obama is getting one's share of the wealth confiscated from the rich and the hard-working.
