Sometimes the phrases used just don't fit the statement being made or the natural pattern of that person's speech. This was one of those strange statements: "The future must not belong to those who . . . ."

In a free country, who can presume to decide winners or losers, or to whom the future belongs?

Then, one looks for a precedent and finds, " The world belongs to you. China's future belongs to you." - Chairman Mao to students, 1957

Does anyone remember this remark from early November 2008? "At a Virginia rally -— 'If you’ll stand with me, then I know that we can win Virginia and we can win this election and we can finally bring the change we need to Washington,' Obama told the estimated crowd of 35,000. 'I feel like we got a righteous wind at our backs here.'

Then, there is this quote from Chairman Mao:

“The ill wind of opportunism is falling, the righteous wind of socialism is on the rise.”

Remember that former WH staffer who revealed that name as being her "go-to philosopher."
