Obama: There are No Self-Made Men?

Not for those who benefited from Affirmative Action, that's for sure!

You either believe in the individual, or you believe in collectivism. It’s clear where Obama stands.

My guess is that Obama is speaking about himself.

He certainly didn’t get where he is on his own-—but he is hiding who got hime there.

Oh!! We know some of them, Bill Ayres, Tony Rezco, Jeremiah Wright,Frank Davis, but there are others hidden in his background. Others who now benefit from his Government Largesse.

Of course the Media is doing a superb job of covering up for this waste product who wants to continue tearing our country down for another 4 years.

"Obama: There are No Self-Made Men?"

That's correct.

Add to that the idea that Obama has been so steeped in Marxism that he believes the state (with him at the head of it, of course) is all powerful and preeminent.

He is the voice of the state...laying claim to all rights of the individual. It has never dawned on him that when the state takes those rights, the individual will cease to contribute...and the state will collapse.

In a way, he’s right. Many people give God the glory for helping them with their businesses and any success they have.

That’s over his paygrade to get. He’s just an evil commie playtoy with strings - because they know liberals fall for anything that’s evil. They shun goodness like the plague.

Obama is never right - the godless are the dregs of society.

And his own personal racism causes him to double down on his commie faith. He honestly seems to believe that Blacks are so incredibly disadvantaged that they cannot succeed on their own and the state must prop them up.

He's killing the spirit of his own "people" as he concurrently kills America.

Now we are being told that we didn’t understand the words that were coming out of his mouth...

They ALL helped him by keeping quiet - ALL accomplices in the destruction of America. Except Col Lakin who stood SOLO as took his oath, seriously, in spite of everything/everyone against him.

Of course, because he can’t find an idiot/his staff to give him a defense - so it’s someone else’s fault - OURS. Typical, if he could, he’d blame it on Bush or Rush.

Perhaps, he saw this....

I don’t doubt he sincerely believes this. He also probably gives a masonic prayer to whomever provides for him. Considering he hates Christ and anything Christian, his statements manifests he likely has fully intentionally worshiped another and been given everything he has ever had by the Father of lies.

As someone pointed out on Rush last week, the old Soviet Union had roads and schools.

Obama, who has never had to do anything on his own. ‘His’ books are penned by others, he was accepted into college and given titles and positions and community jobs based on affirmative action. He was run for president by his handlers and the press has made every excuse for him. The telepromptor gives him his speeches and when he leaves them it is painfully obvious. He has been given everything based on entitlement, the color of his skin and not his character. He lacks the imagination to see how success can also be earned by the individual. Such a person should not be reelected.
