Only in his own mind. The American people will keep the dream going. The alternative isn’t very good.

This continues to be the Carter years, part deux. He’s a downer, when America needs an optimistic leader.

Eh, the American Dream’s future was determined in 1913....trainwreck...just a matter of when.

Yep, he’s telling us our American dreams are gone and it’s because of him and his cohorts.

He telegraphs his intentions in his Alinsky way.

No, it's being ripped away by you and Congress.

His lowering of expectations is alarming...

Does he see the collapse of the shining city on the hill?

What the hell would he know about “the American dream”? He’s hung up on the dreams of his Kenyan daddy.

“the American dream might slowly be slipping away”

Yes, because communists like you are chipping away at it to take away all freedom.

End of the American dream? This poser has conned the American public into giving him and his freeloading family unlimited vacations at taxpayer expense. He and his butt ugly wife will get free medical care, bodyguards and office supplies, not to mention a pension, for the rest of their worthless, scamming lives.

The American dream is very much alive for this clown.

Thanx to all the idiot demoRATs for what they've done to America.
