...while standing in for Senator Edward Kennedy and delivering a commencement address at Wesleyan University , Obama urged the graduates to look past material gains and work for the “collective salvation” of the United States.

He said that if he is elected he will call upon the students and the nation to “be unified in service to a greater good. I intend to make it a cause of my presidency.” The man who has nice suits and a big house, told them, “You can take your diploma, walk off this stage and chase only after the big house and the nice suits and all the other things that our money culture says you should buy. But I hope you don’t...

What?! Is this fool crazy?! I suppose our salvation will be based on the theology of the Right Reverend Dr. Jeremiah Wright?! No Thanks!

“...Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Black Brother.”

How about getting a big money job so they can actually pay off all those college loans Michelle keeps complaining about? And while they are at they can help businesses grow and hire people who don’t have those high-priced educations.

At a Presidential debate this fall, I hope someone gets a chance to ask that very question: Do you think that you are the Messiah?

He’s delusional if he thinks he is, and even more so if he thinks we’ll vote for him...

[Ask him] “Do you think that you are the Messiah?”

Obama is puffed up and sly enough to answer thusly:

“No, I am not. But the fact that so many, especially the young, are seeking someone different from past leaders indicates that something is seriously lacking in America life. And I am running to provide that hope, that change, so many are sincerely seeking.”

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.....

Marxist elitists all think this way. The big house, nice suits and all the other things that our money culture says you should buy are for the government elitists only. The unwashed masses should be happy and grateful to have a few beans given to them by their government.

Even more nauseating than B.Hussein's drivel will be the media swooning over how eloquent he was.....as he gave proposed giving the republic away.

I've really had enough of the smarmy son of a bitch.

April 25, 2008 Fort Wayne, IN - Michelle Obama:

“We've lost sight of the fact that we are one another's brothers' and sisters' keepers in this nation. We have to prepare to sacrifice something big for the greater good. In order to do that, you have to feel some faith and trust and inspiration in our leadership. I don't think there's anyone else in this race who's going to be able to unify this country, who's going to be able to change the way politics is done, who's going to bring people together who never thought they had anything common before and who's going to do it in a way that's decent and honest. That man is my husband, Barack Obama.”

BO Today: “be unified in service to a greater good.

Someone needs to ask BO to describe in detail what he means by the "greater good" and what will have to be sacrificed to attain his imagined nirvana. Freepers know exactly what he means. But there are a bunch of mush brains out there who don't and they are falling for it!
