Obama omitted some of Lincoln's quote
Editor, Times-Dispatch:
If Washington wants to put us back on the road to prosperity, it needs to get out of the way. Cut government regulation, slash taxes on manufacturing, and let the competitive free market work.
"I'm a Democrat," President Obama insisted in his State of the Union address, "but I believe what Republican Abraham Lincoln believed: That government should do for people only what they cannot do for themselves, and no more." The trouble is, there isn't much the president thinks people can do for themselves. Which could be why he left out the most important part of Lincoln's quote: "In all that the people can individually do as well for themselves, government ought not to interfere."
