obama's vision of individual ambition

[b4uqzme]

Listen right at the beginning of this video where he says: "...this country cannot accomplish great things if we pursue...individual ambition."

I think that point was missed by most people watching this speech to the OSU graduation class. Obama doesn't get it. That is what is fundamentally great about the USA: that we, as a collective whole, have become the greatest nation/culture on earth by pursuing our individual happiness. That is the essence of freedom! It's in our Declaration of Independence for pete's sake!!

It's disturbing to me that our Commander in Chief doesn't understand the core values of our country. Listen closely to what he says and you can see his true colors. The rest of the video contains a bunch of BS where he contradicts what he just said about individualism. If the government doesn't want us to be individuals, why shouldn't we be afraid of government???

From each according to his ability, To each according to his need...The man is a Socialist to his very core and isn't even trying to hide it anymore....How in the Name of God does he fool so many and for so long???...

He's "fooling" people at different levels.

1. The racists blacks have put color above everything else. There's no way they will acknowledge that their messiah has any flaws...(just listen to Juan Williams for instance.)

2. Low info/no info voters care only that their 'team', the Dems win. Once the elections are over they don't even know what's going on.

3. The so called liberals/progressives are essentially communists, so they support him in every way.

4. The lamestream media does not and will not report anything that tarnishes odumbo in any way.

Slowly mostly via the internet and talk radio some people are waking up. I fear it's probably too late.

Have no fear MD Vet. This will all work out very soon. When people start paying 3 times more than what they were paying for healthcare and getting 1/3 of the care they used to get for the money, people will change. Its coming soon very soon.
Milton Friedman spoke of the "myth of the free lunch". This lesson will be learned by millions soon.

Obama doesn't get it.

He gets it. So did Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Castro, Chavez, Mao, and others. Socialism is a loser's balm, designed to rationalize individual failure by blaming it on the lowest common denominator; i.e. it's always the other guy's fault.

You guys are deep. Much deeper than I had expected. I can say that I am proud to have made your acquaintance. You and God are what gives me faith in the triumph of freedom. We will prevail.
