President Obama fled the masses in DC today to escape to Minnesots. He gave a speech at a health care rally, days after an address to Congress on health care. The content of the speech was more or less the same as the address to Congress, but this exchange toward the end is a little interesting. Here, Obama reminds the crowd that people against reform will "fight with everything they've got", and tells Washington "pundits" who think he's doing "too much" that "change is not easy." Then, at one point, when Obama refers to FDR, a portion of the crowd boos.
Isn't Obama's dream of socialism and massive government simply an exaggerated version of FDR's vision?
FDR created the "New Deal"; Obama is giving us a "raw deal".
