Is Obama turning the country into a welfare society and away from one focused on opportunity?
While it's true that the country has been headed in this direction for many years — with the explosion in entitlements since the 1960s and the aging of the population — Obama has, in fact, greatly accelerated the trend. Examples:

Is this a rhetorical question?
No. Our education system is.
50/50
Half are dependents, the other half are productive.
When ATLAS Shrugs, we will see the house of cards fall.
See ya’ll in the Gulch.
With the exception of himself, his family, and his cronies...
...of course.
Yes he does and he is spouting snaky , treacherous, words in order to fuel anger and in order to please the thirs-world crowds coming in USA.....Watch out
Gingrich will have to strike hard right on the point
Dependency is slavery.
Is this the one about the sheep and the wolves discussing what to have for dinner?
In other news, “Bears poop in the woods...Pope is Catholic...Obama would rather climb a tree and lie than stay on the ground and tell the truth!”
We’re quickly becoming the home of the garbage dump bears.
He’s certainly giving it the ol’ college try...
Let’s not forget the fact that a great many of the “dependent” remain independent of Obama’s ideology and that they are angry and disgusted if not heartbroken over this debacle. Better to be angry and disgusted but the heartbreak comes when they realize there is a certain maliciousness behind the strategy to achieve “fundamental change in America”.
More accurate to say that a nation of dependents has created Obama.
A very insightful observation. Obama's simply trying to make a virtue of dependency by advancing the idea that one is not truly free as long as one's needs are not being met by government. And that's not "fair", especially since some people have more than they "need". So, not only does Obama make a virtue of dependency but makes a liability of ability, effort and achievement.
Well put.
