According to NPR:
With no money left in the government coffers, the “only strategy” for growth is to get behind America’s entrepreneurs, President Obama has said.
In a speech to his party’s spring conference, the president declared war on the “enemies of enterprise” – and said he was on the side of “go-getters”.
And he vowed 23 March’s Budget would be the “most pro-growth this country has seen for a generation”.
Obama’s press secretary, Jay Carney, has already told the media in DC that his Budget will be “unashamedly pro-growth” and will include 10 new enterprise zones to boost some of the most deprived areas in the United States.
Mr Obama used his speech to reinforce his pro-growth message, and to promise a “fundamental rebalancing of our economy” with “less debt, more saving; less borrowing, more investment; less dependence on financial services, more new industries, exports and trade”.
With interest rates at a record low, and no money to spare, the president said he wanted to champion the growth and ingenuity of the American people.
He said: “The spark of initiative. The courage to make your dream happen. The hard work to see it through.
“There’s only one strategy for growth we can have now and that is rolling up our sleeves and doing everything possible to make it easier for businesses to grow, to invest, to take people on.”
“Back small firms. Boost enterprise. Be on the side of everyone in this country who wants to create jobs, and wealth and opportunity.”
The words you’ve been waiting to hear from Mr Obama, yes?
Except: NO.
Those words are from Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron, spoken on March 6th and documented here.
Britain “gets it.”
America does not.
Mr Obama has Historical Alzheimers and demands that our country repeat the failed ministrations of the UK and Europe. Europe is starting to come around. The US is on a crash course with history and finds itself startlingly ignorant of the past. And the oh-so-recent past!
Mr Obama, the dolt that he is, thinks that somehow he can do what the UK, Europe, the USSR and China hasn’t been able to do in over 100 years: install true Ideal Socialism.
Note to Mr Obama: you are clearly “educated.” But you have “learned” nothing.

(some) Europeans realize all socialism has done for them is create staggering debt, stifling regulation, and it’s resultant loss of personal freedom. trying to change back from that will cause a lot of polarization between the taxpayer on one side and bureaucrats and those on the government dole on the other side. the big government types think Mr. taxpayer is an unlimited supply of wealth and is greedy if he wants to keep what he worked for. there seems to be less and less middle ground between these two worldviews as time goes by. what’s the solution? maybe a world dictator perhaps? after all, that seems to be what communism always ends up as, a dicatorship. and we see that democracy will fail when personal morality, integrity, and a strong work ethic falls out of style, so what are the options? a strong charismatic leader with absolute authority!
Educated waaaay beyond his intelligence!
Well, the man is a narcissist. He couldn’t see the truth if it came up to him, introduced itself, smacked him a few times on the back of the head and showed him a video. Obama would still be in the dark and reveling in his own pathetic greatness.
Obama has Historical Alzheimers
Nice turn of phrase there.
Of course, all Leftists have that same kind of Alzheimer’s.
Europe is getting the reality wake-up call.
Now we shall see if the sick man that is Europe can get out of bed, of if that is the coffin it rests in.
