Exactly, the American dream is in hibernation until we get better people in the WH.

It’s in a coma, and Obama’s trying to have it removed from life support.

Its in hibernation until citizens want better people in the White House. Obama is just a painful symptom of too many people thinking that liberty and prosperity can be manufactured by more government.

Its was murdered by Free Trade and Open Borders. We could have coped with all the other problems but these attacks were mortal. At this point I would just like to see cosmic justice visited upon the men that enacted these policies.

It must be, when we spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on our children’s education, they graduate earning 35k a year and still live home.... yep it’s dead alright!

Obama being removed from office or leaving office can’t come soon enough for me.

We've lost our moral, religious, and educational infrastructure. You can't get those things back by winning an election or two.

There are millions of people who have no intention of working or contributing to society.
There are millions of people who have no knowledge, skills, or work ethic. They can't manage to show up for work on time and scoop ice cream in a productive fashion.

The media is lost.
The schools are lost.
The family structure is lost.

This stuff isn't coming back.

Greece used to be the pinnacle of civilization. Rome was once on top of the world. Spain had an empire and controlled much of the riches of the New World. And little Portugal was right there with her, running an empire across all the oceans of the world.

Where are they now? Portugal, Italy, Greece, Spain -- PIGS: the most bankrupt countries of Europe.
We are right there with them. Financially and morally bankrupt.
Our time is over.

Once Liberals succeed in marginalizing individuality and criminalizing the ownership of private property... yes, the dream will be over.

It’s dead if you’re a conservative, Christian, Caucasian American. If you’re an America-hating, foreign national, it’s just beginning.

She is not dead yet. However, America is dying. All that will be left is “Third World” people eating crumbs and whose disease ridden bodies will die at an average age of 30 years.

Without a change to benevolent, visionary leadership at the top, the American dream is indeed dead... or at least unresponsive.

Maybe it’s not dead after all... it’s just been redefined, that’s all.. As a nation in decline, people are resigning themselves to a lower rung on the ladder.

Nowadays, the “American Dream” largely consists of a roof over your head, enough food and beer in the fridge, enough $$ in the paycheck to make it through the week and whatever government subsidies you can grab up.
