Obama's Gettysburg Address
The Washington Times ^ | December 14, 2010 | James S. Robbins

Posted on 12/13/2010 10:13:08 PM PST by Abakumov

One score and four months ago, American voters brought forth in this country a historic presidency, conceived in hope and dedicated to the proposition that yes, we can.

Now I am engaged in a great political war, the conditions of which I largely inherited from my predecessor, testing whether this presidency, or indeed any presidency, at least one so crowned in virtue, can long endure....

And from these honored dead I take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion to me. I highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, or under Allah, or whatever faith we equally revere, if any - shall have a new birth of responsible social equality and reasonable opportunity under fair, obligatory government supervision - and that people of the government, by the government, and for the government shall not perish from the earth until a proper time, as determined by the appropriate federal health care panels.

This parody would be ROTFL funny, if not so spot-on scary.

And the end of the speech would be: “Now I’ve kept my wife waiting for 30 minutes, so if there are any questions, Bill will answer them for you.”

Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to
the children of Israel “pick up your shovel,
mount your asses and camels, and I will
lead you to the promised land”.

Nearly 75 years ago, Roosevelt said, “Lay down
your shovels, sit on your asses, and light
up a Camel, this is the promised land”.

Now Obama has stolen your
shovel, taxed your asses, raised the
price of Camels, and mortgaged the
promised land.
