Obama promotes modest American dream
Obama promotes modest American dreamThis time around, President Barack Obama's message can sound decidedly down-to-earth.
Four years after winning the White House, Obama is dealing with a different economic and political reality as he seeks re-election. He's focused less on a lofty vision for overcoming divisions and remaking Washington, and more on the most basic building blocks of middle-class economic security: a job, a house, a college education for the kids, health care, money for retirement.
What Obama describes as the American Dream can seem a spare, fundamental aspiration, tailored for a campaign that looks to be fought over who is best equipped to safeguard the interests of middle-class Americans.
This is interesting! What did Obama promise use the last time?
Text of Obama's speech TuesdayBecause if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on earth. This was the moment—this was the time—when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves and our highest ideals.
I find this interesting. We go from Obama thinking he's Moses and can basically split the Red Sea or "heal the oceans" to modest Obama who's downturned from healing the oceans to making sure we all have a bare modest future. Because that's really all we want, right?
Because IF YOU DARE WANT MORE then Obama will burn you good with taxes taxes taxes just to make it "fair."
This is Obamaville people. Aren't you glad it's less than 300 days until we vote his skinny butt back to Chicago?
