"We have arrived at a juncture in our politics where reasonable efforts to update our regulations, or make basic investments in our future, are too often greeted with cries of 'government takeover' or even 'socialism'," Obama said.
"Getting this balance right has less to do with big government or small government than it does smart government. It's not about being anti-business or pro-government; it's about being pro-growth and pro-jobs," he said.

A powerful quote. Cuts through the bull and at the heart of all the ubers. Indeed anyone one stuck in the status quo mind set of holding back change allowing this country to move forward, stalling progress for the sake of a antiquated political view and narrow vision.

Sounds like some quotes from other socialists, Adolph Hitler and Joe Stalin, so does yours.

What does smart government look like? Certainly nothing we have even on the drawing board here.

I agree. However, I just don't think he is capable or willing (I haven't yet figured out which) to do that. His definition of "smart" government is far from mine.

Sorry bammer but 77% of American businessmen agree with me.

And keep spewing your vitirol against working, wage earning Americans who are angry about the errors, egregious offenses and corruption of this inept administration, wanna bet your socialist/democrat party doesn't take one hell of a hit this coming November??

Sweet sounding rhetoric can only go far to cover up the illegal and ill advised policies of teleprompter-in-chief.

BTW, Ayn Rand was a survivor to the horrors and ultimate failure of an all powerful socialist system that dehumanized and murdered millions, she knew what she was talking about from first hand experience.

It's an illusion statement though. Obama's view of smart government is big government or at least bigger than we have now. It's slight of hand.

His agenda has done nothing to make government smaller but much to make it bigger (if he can achieve his agenda). Claiming small vs. big is a non-issue is misleading at best.
