President Obama told supporters at a $15,000-per-person Miami fundraiser today that the American Dream is not about individuals, and DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) said that while the 2008 election was “historic… 2012 is personal.”
” As tough as these last three years have been, think about everything that we’ve accomplished together. Because of you, we averted a Great Depression,” the president said, continuing on to tout the auto-industry bailout and healthcare reform.
“The American story has never been about what we just do by ourselves; it’s about what we do together,” Obama said.
He called the Republicans’ philosophy “simple: We are better off when everybody is left to fend for themselves, everybody makes their own rules, a few do very well at the top and everybody else is struggling to get by. That’s their core vision for America.”
The president reminded the crowd that in 2008 he said “I’m not a perfect man… and I won’t be a perfect president,” but said he’d fulfilled his promise to always tell people where he stood.
“It takes more than a single term, it takes more than a single president,” Obama said. “I promise you, change will come.”
Wasserman Schultz, who introduced Obama, said a Republican president “would devote their entire time in office to reversing the progress we’ve made.”
“And I don’t know about you, but I’m not goin’ back,” she said. “I’m not goin’ back. We will finish what we started in 2008.”
Yeah, it’s all about the Umma/ant colony dude. And people wonder why anyone would think he’s a Muslim or commie or why we’d need to offer Muslims a lift into space.
In fact, it IS about the individual.
Constitution expert, my a ss. Not about the individual? Huh? Hasn’t he ever read the document? Why this country was founded? Oh, yeah — so we can have BIG GOVERNMENT, taxes, entitlement programs, and welfare. What alternate universe is this clown from?
“The American story has never been about what we just do by ourselves; it’s about what we do together,”
We are the Obama. You will be assimilated. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to ours to do things together. Your efforts will adapt to do the things we think important. Resistance is futile.
That’s just Obama’s way of saying, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”
We’d better pray to God a Republican president devotes his entire time reversing the “progress” this disastrous president has made. He proves every day he is a hell-bent leftist who is here to destroy the individual. Group and identity politics is all he cares about so he can pit people against each other, while individual liberties suffer.
Like Nixon said in ’68, “This time, vote like your whole world depended on it.”
Obama said. “I promise you, change will come.” Yes, right after he gets kicked out of the Whitehouse.
“And I don’t know about you, but I’m not goin’ back,” she said. “I’m not goin’ back.” Wouldn’t it be wonderful if she meant she wasn’t going back to Washington?
Communism is never about the individual; it’s about the Collective.
Think of what we’ve accomplished together? Like going off an economic cliff? More unemployment, higher prices, no end in sight.
Less personal liberty, more political correctness, more dangerous world.

Spoken like the bigot that he is.
He called the Republicans’ philosophy (“simple: We are better off when everybody is left to fend for themselves, everybody makes their own rules, a few do very well at the top and everybody else is struggling to get by. That’s their core vision for America.”) [That!] is the description of anarchy!
According to the President, self achievement translates into ‘fending for themselves.
MEMO TO THE PRESIDENT: It’s not just anarchy we want, but contraceptive free anarchy…
“. . . a few do very well at the top and everybody else is struggling to get by.” HUH? WHAT? Oh, America, what a cesspool of misery and poverty. Where’s the Republican outrage and public response to this garbage?
No kidding, surely that’s a projection of his childhood.
Another Straw Man?!
Seriously?
Is that the only arrow in all of Obama speechwriters quivers?
The problem is that no one has been putting a lit match to Obama’s strawmen. Our current aspirants to the presidency aren’t doing the job, and better candidates won’t accept the challenge.
Recently while doing some spring purging I came across a book someone gave my daughter
“It takes a Village” My daughter stuck to her Macduff, A Bargain for Frances, Harry the dirty Dog,
type books, ones when upon closer examination have a classic message about human nature.
That marxist screed went directly into the recycling bin.
I think I should write a book “It takes a Mother and a Father.Wait let me up the anty It takes a stay at home mother and father HEH!
– yourself, Obama. This mess is yours.
These people have to be from another planet.
The constitution is entirely about securing individual rights against infringement by a more powerful majority, such as the federal government.

“I’m not a perfect man… and I won’t be a perfect president,” but said he’d fulfilled his promise to always tell people where he stood.
Obama tells a half-truth here. Obviously he’s the furthest thing from “perfect” but the idea that he’s told people where he stands is ludicrous. He almost never does that. Mr. “I voted present” can’t allow himself to be honest because if he did then he’d still be back at Sidley Austin fetching Michelle’s coffee. He gets elected by falsely representing himself and his agenda. He’s just another Marxist liar, period.

2008 election, Exchange Stabilization Fund derailed McCain’s run for the White House.
With Obama keeping Mr. Geithner on as Sec. of Treasury, 2012 may be a repeat of 2008′s election results. This would explain why Mr. Obama insisted upon Mr. Geithner remain as Sec. of Tresury, until AFTER 2012 elections.
Folks, always watch the “Right Hand, Left Hand Rule.” This administration has decidedly pulled out all stops designed to guarantee Mr. Obama’s re-election.
We The Elite People of culture of corruption in Washington DC are hell bent on holding on to both GREED and POWER…at all costs. Wake-up! America is on life support. God Bless America. Amen!
