He gets it. He’s just trying to CHANGE it. “Change” meant “Change our FORM OF GOVERNMENT”; Transferring power from the people TO the government. He’s enabling the power elite to STEAL America from us, from G.E. all the way to the United Nations. Just a little oversight voters in 2008 made. “People” will soon have very little control of America, if any.

Its a cinch that, if you’ve got a business, Mr. Obama didn’t build it. The fact is, that in his entire life he has never built anything. Never made a payroll, never produced a product, never ran a company, never created anything.

So its understandable that he hasn’t the faintest idea how a country works. I don’t blame him for not knowing what he couldn’t possibly know.

I blame the people who entrusted this country to a bumbling fool you wouldn’t hire to run a convenience store. As others have said, the problem isn’t Obama. The problem is that people have so little respect for their country that they would give the presidency to someone who never did anything.

You know a man by his fruit, as they say, and you should certainly notice when a man has none at all.

Obama is projecting his personal experience onto everyone else. He is the one who has never accomplished anything on his own.

Affirmative action has taken Obama all the way to POTUS and must believe that is how we all got where we are.

There should be some good comments on this thread. I’ll be checking back to read them.

But the author should not take any credit for writing the article because, well, you know...

This will go down as the biggest gaffe in the history of the presidency. Actually, this isn't a gaffe - it's what the socialist Obama actually believes. He never actually accomplished anything himself so he assumes that nobody else accomplished anything either.

This remark is going to be the undoing of Obama. Mark my words. The majority of Americans are sickened and disgusted by this line of thinking...

America's Founders idea of "transforming" is summarized in the following essay which describes how a wilderness was "changed" into a free and prosperous place of opportunity for hundreds of millions of oppressed people.

Their philosophy was summarized in their Declaration of Independence from coercive government power and carried out in a Constitution which limits any powers they allow their representatives to have.

The Miracle of America

from

axes and hoes to high technology;

log cabins to air-conditioned condos;

horsedrawn wagons to autos, planes, and rockets;

scarcity to abundance; &

from tyrannical government rule  to individual liberty

HOW DID IT ALL BEGIN?

 

   


Most of our history books don’t tell us that, in the beginning, the pilgrims established a communal economic system.  Each was to produce according to his ability and contribute his production to a common storehouse from which each was to draw according to his need.

   The assurance that they would be fed from the common store, regardless of their contribution to it, had a peculiarly disabling effect on the colonists.  Taking property away from some and giving it to others bred discontent and retarded employment.  Human nature was the same then as now, and before long, there were more consumers than there were producers, and the pilgrims were near starvation.  Governor Bradford, his advisors, and the colonists agreed that in order to increase their crops, each family would be allowed to do as it pleased with whatever it produced.  In other words, a free market system was established.  In Governor Bradford’s own words:

                “This had very good success; for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corne was planted than other waise would have bene by any means ye Governor or any other could use, and saved him a great deall of trouble, and gave farr better contente.  The women now wente willingly into ye field, and tooke their little-ons with them to set corne, which before would aledg weaknes, and inabilitie; whom to have compelled would have bene though great tiranie and oppression. . . . By this time harvest was come, and instead of famine, now God gave them plenty, and the face of things was changed. . . . and some of ye abler sort and more industrious had to spare, and sell to others, so as any generall wante or famine hath not been amongst them since this day . . . .” (Wm. Bradford, “Of Plimoth Plantation,” original manuscript, Wright & Potter, Boston, 1901)


  

   Those who, today, favor central government planning, common ownership and redistribution of the earnings of others are advocating a system that Americans tried and rejected over 350 years ago.  Their wisdom gave birth to the great American miracle!

  

Are we as wise today?

Great; simple but profound point per the 'Freedom' our country offers; stands for; which gave reason for people to come here; survive and prosper. (Diversity; of course; the collective, Liberal/Marxist spin. . .)

And putting 'Freedom's point' on this; would be a wise move per Mitt's Campaign. . .

Another point is simply to remind that Obama-as-Marxist; cannot recognize ANY 'individual'; much less individual initiative/success.

(The road to success is an internal; individual journey; not a public thoroughfare or public bridge to 'somewhere'. Liberalism, of course; would have one believe otherwise. . .)

And so it is; Marxists always have a cheap escape. It is certainly fair to assume; that Obama never earned a decent grade by personal merit; nor his access to Harvard; not his 'Law Review' position; nor his placement at University of Chicago; nor as well; his successful advance as a 'present only' Congressman, in Illinois.

Easy as well, to see; 'how it is' that Obama imagines; that success should come, from another man's effort. It is a seductive, cheap idea, for those so inclined. Inclinations invited; inculcated by every Liberal, Marxist - and so narcissitic - narrative.

I dont think in My entire Life Have I ever seen such a Case of Mass DENIAL. The only Place I have seen it is in News reels Of world war two on the History Channel,with that hitler&chamberlainaiving that Paper around Claiming Peace in Our time! Just like Hitler told the World what his intentions were in Mein KamfObama Has said exactly what he was going to do and Unfortunately he has just about suceeded beyond his wildest dreams,Soory Rush,as you said He hopes he fails,as you know he Hasnt,but the Denial form the entire country trembling in their underwear that they might be Accused of being a Racist,IS STUNNING! Will people be happy when the Entire Country Collapses? What a Bunh Of COWARDS
