How can you be so dense? You act as though the idea of personal freedom is some radical idea that not enough people are into. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
Obama is not saying we need to eliminate personal freedom. He just believes government serves an important purpose. To simply dismiss it as "evil" is a harmful concept. A sense of leadership in this country is important.
You're right - a sense of leadership is important. But that's not what Obama is conveying here. Instead, all he's doing is preaching about the collective (as usual).
For Christ's sakes, the idea of personal freedom can co exist with the idea of collectivism.
Not in the black-and-white world of 50 IQ point right wingers.
