Now, it’s a simple theory. And we have to admit, it’s one that speaks to our rugged individualism and our healthy skepticism of too much government. That’s in America’s DNA. And that theory fits well on a bumper sticker. (Laughter.) But here’s the problem: It doesn’t work. It has never worked. (Applause.) It didn’t work when it was tried in the decade before the Great Depression. It’s not what led to the incredible postwar booms of the ‘50s and ‘60s. And it didn’t work when we tried it during the last decade. (Applause.) I mean, understand, it’s not as if we haven’t tried this theory.

Right... over two hundred years this country has been going in the wrong direction, and now Obama is going to fix that. Obama is loosing it.

Not loosing it, simply showing his true colors. There have been hints of his philosophy all along but he's played it in such a way that he could deny it. Now he is so sure of himself that no longer is he holding back. Applause indeed.

He's right... Trickle-down DOESN'T work; has never worked; .. and sure isn't working now.... Don't flatter yourselves with "American Way"... It's more of the failed Reagan policies.

Of course, the paragraph is taken out of context. He's talking about trickle down economics. Here's the paragraph just before the one quoted in the blog article:

Now, just as there was in Teddy Roosevelt’s time, there is a certain crowd in Washington who, for the last few decades, have said, let’s respond to this economic challenge with the same old tune. “The market will take care of everything,” they tell us. If we just cut more regulations and cut more taxes — especially for the wealthy — our economy will grow stronger. Sure, they say, there will be winners and losers. But if the winners do really well, then jobs and prosperity will eventually trickle down to everybody else. And, they argue, even if prosperity doesn’t trickle down, well, that’s the price of liberty.

Then the next paragraph:

Now, it’s a simple theory. And we have to admit, it’s one that speaks to our rugged individualism and our healthy skepticism of too much government. That’s in America’s DNA. And that theory fits well on a bumper sticker. (Laughter.) But here’s the problem: It doesn’t work. It has never worked. (Applause.)

Makes a little more sense now, doesn't it? He wasn't talking about America not working, he was talking about the Reagan trickle down economic model.

The head Moron leading the 70 million other morons, hopefully they will all jump on the meteor due here in 2012, and leave the world a better place.

Really It didn’t work when it was tried in the decade before the Great Depression. It’s not what led to the incredible postwar booms of the ‘50s and ‘60s.

Okay, I stand corrected. Maybe not the Reagan trickle down, but the economic trickle down theory. My point is that the original post, and the blog cited, are erroneous in their omission of the context.

You mean Obama was talking about Reagan's trickle down theory in 1920's? You're getting more and more confusing with every comment.
