He was talking about the financial regulations bill and Wall Street making gross profits while putting the country in a tail spin. Roy, don't you ever cross-check what Glenn Beck is saying?
Yes, Glenn lied and Roy repeats it like a parrot.

you two should check YOUR sources because you are wrong, Obama was saying that as a generalization to EVERYONE. because EVERYONE has the opportunity to participate in wallstreet with the right schooling and credentials.
Omg did they do a voiceover and Obama not really say that?
Cause I seen the video and those words came out of his mouth
"Now, what we’re doing, I want to be clear, we’re not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that's fairly earned. I mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money. But, you know, part of the American way is, you know, you can just keep on making it if you’re providing a good product or providing good service. We don’t want people to stop, ah, fulfilling the core responsibilities of the financial system to help grow our economy."
If he didn't reproduce the entire statement he lied.

Do what?
I am pretty sure I see "I mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money." << I see that quote in there so how is it a lie to say the president said that quote? A lie would be that quote isnt in there and someone said he said it when he didnt
I am pretty sure I just copied that quote from your post there for he said it which means its not a lie to say he said that
your friends to set the example on how much money is too much? Glenn Beck.
Yesterday Beck played that sound bite of the President saying that he was sure that there is a point at which people have made too much money so he asked that question on his black board.
Here are a few of his friends and the amounts they are worth or just made the past year. He also wrote these numbers on a different board. It is funny thinking about all that money in the pockets of libs.
George Soros $14 billion
Andy Stern $306,000 annually
Frank Raines $65.3 million
Oprah Winfrey $2.4 billion (240 million last year)
Algore $100 million He was worth $2 million in 2000
John Edwards $30 million
Bill and Hillary $35
Beck is just wondering when one has made too much money and the government has to take the rest if more than his amount is made. I am also wondering about that.

I've seen both the short and long video and it sounded to me like the President realized what he had said and backpedaled. Slip or not, it reveals a lot to me. I've never even thought that there should be a limit on earning. If you put in the hours of hard work, or the years of education, or the risk of trying something unproven or any combination above, then you should be rewarded.
The other way round, I work so little because I despise being rich. I am not poor, I work just so much that I can live a decent, but minimalist life without loosing money. Nor is there lethargy in my life. I guess I simply have a totally different idea of what life is about. I used to work full-time years ago, but I felt I was wasting my life, while I didn't need all that money anyway.
Anyway, we are not talking about normal people here, but the filthy rich ones mentioned in the op. And nobody deserves that kind of money, no matter what they do and how many hours per week.
I disagree.
I think that there are those who literally stole thier money, like Soros. Ironically, Soros is a darling of the liberals, but is nothing more than a pirate.
Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, JP Morgan, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and Robert Noyce brought us wonderful improvements in our lives and deserve whatever they got. There are, however, many in science who likewise who improved our lives but were not similarly compensated.
My only beef with the "rich" are guys like Soros, who have used and perverted the financial system to loot money and have contributed nothing to society.

I agree with you insofar as speculators such as Soros are the worst of them all. As we write speculators are becoming rich betting on the collapse of entire countries such as Greece.
