Levin (and Reagan) on how Obama's blown it

Mark Levin says Obama blew it with that class warfare, degradation of 'success' speech. He forgot Alinsky's lesson of pretending you're part of the middle class...



Furthermore, juxtapose Obama's words from that speech on Friday...


"Look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something -- there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. ... If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen." ~ Barack Obama

 with that of Reagan's from his 1982 CPAC speech...who had it exactly right, btw...

“How can limited government and fiscal restraint be equated with lack of compassion for the poor? How can a tax break that puts a little more money in the weekly paychecks of working people be seen as an attack on the needy? Since when do we in America believe that our society is made up of two diametrically opposed classes—one rich, one poor—both in a permanent state of conflict and neither able to get ahead except at the expense of the other? Since when do we in America accept this alien and discredited theory of social and class warfare? Since when do we in America endorse the politics of envy and division?” ~ Ronald Reagan

America, it's time to walk away from the constant mourning we find ourselves in under the current president and help move our nation towards a better tomorrow.
