Obama's Independence Day message
X ^ | 07/04/2025 | Barack Obama

Posted on 07/04/2025 1:02:42 PM PDT by DFG

Independence Day is a reminder that America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.’ ‘We The People.’ ‘We Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes We Can.’ America is owned by no one. It belongs to all citizens. And at this moment in history—when core democratic principles seem to be continuously under attack, when too many people around the world have become cynical and disengaged—now is precisely the time to ask ourselves tough questions about how we can build our democracies and make them work in meaningful and practical ways for ordinary people.

Like most commies, he and his wife are never just simple and of good cheer. There’s always an agenda, and nascent, underlying cynicism and anger. Especially her. She’ll go to her grave a rich, bitter victim, cursing the white whale.

You’d think DEI street-rabble who made millions would find some joy, but apparently not.

"America is owned by no one. It belongs to all citizens."

And there you have it - socialism with communists leanings.

Sorry to tell you mr. Kenyan, my home, my land, my car, furniture, personal belongings are NOT owned my "the citizens". Yes, I have to pay local taxes and fees, but America doesn't own anything of mine in general.

Racist Retard.

The only thing this POS has going for him is that most people have no quarrel with the horse he rode in on!

When Obama said before the 2008 election “We are going to fundamentally transform the United States of America” people were like “What, what did he mean by that” well he got his wish, he did fundamentally transform the United States, look around at the Dem party, does ANYONE recognize them anymore..they are NOT the same party of Bill Clinton, heck even Hillary Clinton during her primary in 2008 wanted to deport illegals, now look at them, they hate America, support Hamas, and want open borders

We don't have a democracy Mr. Constitutional scholar. We have a Republic.

Whenever they say “democracy,” substitute the word “bureaucracy” to get the real meaning.

A democracy is a state which recognizes the subjection of the minority to the majority, that is, an organization for the systematic use of violence by one class against the other, by one part of the population against another. Vladimir Lenin.
