What exactly is "America's promise", according to Obama?

I kept waiting for him to define it and all I kept hearing was America's promise is what makes us Americans and it's why people want to come here, etc.

Then I thought, does he think America promises everyone a wonderful life and future? I mean, we offer opportunities for a wonderful future if you want to work hard, but we don't promise it.

What is it? Did I miss something?

It’s being a single mom. I guess being free of men.

the promise is a destruction of this nation that is why we are all unclear on what he is saying.

"Americas Promise" is me working my ass of for my family, and having a substantial part of my income confiscated from me to give to someone else that doesn't work their ass off for their family.

I was wondering the same thing, but I’m coming to realize that America promised all of its lowly citizens a good paying job, free health care, homeownership, free money to 3rd world countries, free education, cradle to the grave welfare, and I’m sure there’s more but I’m not fully enlightened yet to His holiness Barack Obama’s full plan.

Martin Luther King did not need rock stars and fireworks to leave his legacy. Obama is NO MLK. He is no more than a cinder in the ashy heap of history. Obum is an empty suit with the forked tongue of the devil himself, dare I say of a false profit. He is a Marxist, who went to a Marxist so called “Christian” church who damned America and who’s very mission, (so called, “black liberation theology” DENIES THE DIVINITY OF CHRIST. The event was so much bigger than the candidate that it will leave but a sooty residue in the minds of even the most devout Obamatrons. The bad news is that the republicans are so ineffectual and so afraid of not being polite that they are likely to sabotage the gift that the democrats have given them. A soulless, empty windbag, who loathes 50% of his genetic makeup. Some might argue his better half, at very least the half that didn’t run out on him. Gutter politics from the OLD party of lowest common denominators. God save America.

Apparently it is supposed to be from each according to his means, to each according to his needs.

Apparently he thinks he is running for President of Russia.

Nanny state.

Whether you want it or not.

Oh and that Constitution?

Means whatever the politically correct judges say it means.

Obama is the antithesis to respectful and non-partisan debate.

The little punk keeps referring to President Bush as "George Bush" over and over and over again. He did it again tonight in his stupid speech, and he has been doing it for months now.

I come from a home where that is considered disrespectful and flippant behavior, and it is anything BUT statesmanlike conduct.

I won't tolerate it, and I will fight Obama's disrespectful people all the way to November.

They are dangerous, nasty and rude, and I pray that they all lose big time during the General.

It's, well, it's...it's hope! And it's change! And isn't it about time we had a little hope and change?! Isn't it about time we delivered America's promise to those who have for so long been denied their place? Isn't he the one!?

He’s never disrespectful or rude, because his mother taught him not to be. Didn’t you know that?

Very true.

With a democrat congress, the election of this man will be a tragedy for those of us that are productive and make this country work.

The only thing we could hope for will be enough senators to hold a filibuster against their radical agenda, and I’m not hopeful.

I think the Founding Fathers were thinking along the lines of a Marxist “Utopia” with a black “community organizer” as the president. I guess that is what he means by “promise.” I know he doesn’t mean being allowed to safely grow in the womb, escape the womb without being murdered and then being given the same rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution that are currently being given to Islamo terrorists and to babies born to illegal aliens.

ohmigosh someone other than me noticed! His speech became absolutely incoherent as he attempted to answer the question HE asked! I’m glad I’m not going crazy. On another note, do you think if he gets elected then America will finally NOT be a racist country??? We’ll never be called racist again???
