Looks like we have a new convert. While addressing CEOS at Business Roundtable Meeting Obama stated, "I am an ardent believer in the Free Market."

Here you go:

The full speech:

I listened to the full speech 40 mins (it was painful) here is a quick summary.

Obama says he believes in the Free Market, but the government should have some limited role to play in setting up the foundation. Then Obama goes on for 38 more minutes about all the federal programs that are necessary for a free market to be able to exist. By the end of the speech you every single facet of the marketplace is propped up by the Government.

I am guessing that Obama is not really sure what Free or Limited actual means. Which is comforting because maybe the problem is not as bad as I thought, we just need to send him a dictionary then all the misunderstanding can be worked out quite easily.
