Obama, defending the social commitments of FDR's New Deal (just some of his many reforms): "The commitments we make to each other — through Medicare, and Medicaid, and Social Security — these things do not sap our initiative; they strengthen us. They do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great."
Credit to E.J. Dionne for noticing the parallel.
