In Jobs Response, Obama Delivers Bizarre 'Malaise Speech': "Today in Ohio, lost in all the flurry of the news about the jobs numbers, was a speech almost as strange and depressing given by our current president, Barack Obama, as he talked about his own childhood. This way of life and standard of living, he appeared to say, is the American ideal and what people should be prepared to settle for:
Nobody expected to get fabulously rich, although it was great if people got rich. But when I think about my family and Michelle's family, what made us rich was spending time together, and the idea was that if our families were of good character and had good values and you we willing to work hard, then you could find a job that paid a decent wage. And eventually if you saved enough you could own a home. And you knew that you wouldn't go bankrupt if you got sick because you had some health insurance. And maybe you took a vacation every once in a while. And it wasn't necessarily some fancy vacation at some fancy resort."
