0bama keeps repeating the “nation building here at home” line. Must have done well with focus groups.

That one is a whopper, US citizens seem to come last. He increased foreign aid %80, largely to Muslim countries...Open border policy is increasing food stamps to noncitizens and more competition for jobs, shut down our oil --helps Brazil drill...

This is really scary, because "nation building" and "infrastructure" are NOT necessarily the same thing. Per Wiki:

Nation-building refers to the process of constructing or structuring a national identity using the power of the state. This process aims at the unification of the people within the state so that it remains politically stable and viable in the long run. Nation-building can involve the use of propaganda or major infrastructure development to foster social harmony and economic growth.
Definition: The development of behaviors, values, language, institutions, and physical structures that elucidate history and culture, concretize and protect the present, and insure the future identity and independence of the nation.

I see this is synonymous to "fundamentally transforming America". Our nation has been built already with the Constitution as its foundation. He wants to make it something different!!!
