'Sounds like socialism to me': Obama's call to 'rise or fall together' meets resistance

Apparently failure is an option, but should that happen things will be just fine as long as we’re doing it together:

"Let’s embrace an economic patriotism that says we rise or fall together, as one nation." —Obama: http://t.co/4RPdDjgNP8 #OpportunityForAll

— White House Archived (@ObamaWhiteHouse) July 27, 2014

If everybody in country were to “fall together” that would be “fair,” and as such, patriotic … or something.

No thanks:

.@WhiteHouse Bullshit! I rise and fall on my own merits. Others can rise and fall on theirs.

@WhiteHouse Really?! How about you let the people rise and we will continue to watch you fall.

Let's all fall with Solyndra!

RT @WhiteHouse "Let’s embrace an economic patriotism that says we rise or fall together, as one nation."

@WhiteHouse Economic patriotism? Sounds like socialism to me.
