Sure, who needs an American president who’s committed to our Consitution and way of life, or who wants to improve peoples lives by spreading American values and freedom. That’s so… passé!

Via RCP.

“So often in the past there has been a division between left and right, between capitalists and communists or socialists, and especially in the Americas, that’s been a big debate,” Obama said during a visit to Argentina Thursday. “Oh, you know, you’re a capitalist Yankee dog, and oh, you know, you’re some crazy communist that’s going to take away everybody’s property.”

“Those are interesting intellectual arguments, but I think for your generation, you should be practical and just choose from what works. You don’t have to worry about whether it really fits into socialist theory or capitalist theory. You should just decide what works,” he added. “And I said this to President Castro in Cuba.”

    Don’t call actions Right or Wrong. Just do what works. Like indicting Petraeus but not Hillary. Or Biden saying Don’t confirm Republican lame duck SCOTUS nomination but do confirm Democrat lame duck SCOTUS nomination. Don’t listen to the name callers, just do what I say. In Me We Trust.

    (Argentina doesn’t let you take any money out of the country. That works for the gov’t. For the people, not so much.)

    So what I think he’s saying is Capitalism can generate the money and socialism will spend it.
