Marco Rubio: Obama 'Doesn't Believe in Free Enterprise'
While his chances of ending up as Mitt Romney’s running mate continue to dim, Marco Rubio continues to take a high-profile role in praising the presumptive Republican presidential candidate and taking aim at President Barack Obama.
Rubio appeared on “Kilmeade and Friends” on Fox News Radio on Thursday and ripped into Obama on economic issues.
“The choice in this election is the clearest one that I’ve seen in my lifetime and that is between the president who doesn’t believe in free enterprise and doesn’t understand it and Mitt Romney who does believe in free enterprise and does understand it,” Rubio said. “And that’s an important choice, because free enterprise makes people prosperous, all people prosperous, and big government makes people poorer and that’s been the history of the world; that’s been the history here in America. We have a very important choice to make and that is do we want to stay on this road we are on now, a road that hasn’t worked, or do we want to go back and re-embrace free enterprise.”

Yeah, right, Obama must be a communist, right Marco?
Why don't you get with Mitt about expressing the truth over his tax plan . . . . the non-partisan Tax Policy Center who was previously praised by Romney for its non-partisanship just studied the Romney tax plan and had two major findings:
1 - The Romney Tax Plan would provide tax cuts for the rich.
2 - The Romney Tax Plan's tax cuts for the rich would have to be paid for by increased taxes from the middle and lower classes.
Yeah, I guess that's what you meant about a free enterprise system, Marco - bringing back the Robber Barons, just like Romney's bringing back the Ugly American on his recent Insult the World tour.

its insulting and anti american that 20% of minoritys are unemployed and given food stamps instead of a chance to work, yet 95% support the president this will get worse for them if the president is given another 4 years

Mr Obama, like FDR, saved capitalism from its own excesses, and the GOP will never forgive him.
I think Mr Rubio is substituting "free enterprise" when he means "willful, irresponsible, breathtaking greed that almost destroyed our national economy"......That's what he and Mr Romney stand for.

Of course not, because you can't see beyond your partisanship.
Perhaps you should ask the American auto industry about what good he's done.
Perhaps you should ask all those previously not covered by medical insurance what good he's done.
Perhaps you should ask all those in the military service about what good he's done in getting us out of Iraq.
Perhaps you should ask all those who lost loved ones in 911 what good he's done in getting Bin Laden.
Perhaps you should ask gays and immigrants about what good he's done in changing the discussion.
Perhaps you should ask all those economists about what good he's done in preventing another great depression.
Perhaps you should actually ask Europe and Australia what good he's done in restoring faith in America versus George Bush (yours is just another "out of context quote" from the Romney camp and the Australian Foreign Affairs Minister said so).
Of course, that last one's too easy, given George Bush.
Only a partisan can't find any good in what Obama's done.
Only a liar involves themselves in politics of the "Big Lie".
