"The Associated Press reports that the president warned Friday against the heavy hand of government and the centralization of power, saying, "This economic mode is dangerous for the country's future." The president added, "The proposition that the government is always right is manifested either in corruption or benefits to 'preferred' companies."
The president continued, "Corruption, hostility to investment, excessive government role in the economy and the excessive centralization of power are taxes on the future that we must and will scrap." The solution, the president said, was that "The government must protect the choice and property of those willing to risk their money and reputation" in the private sector.
Confused yet? Of course that was not President Obama. It may have sounded like a flashback to Ronald Reagan, but the AP was quoting Russian President Demitry Medvedev. Sadly, Russia's president seems to have a better appreciation for free enterprise and the role of limited government than our own!"
