Not really, simply, it will just add another dimension of new and countless newcomers to become totally and irreversibly addicted to the handouts of our government provider, and for what? All so our elected officials can bribe the voters with their own money, so they can get re-elected time and time again.

Soon after our young country was formed, Alexis de Tocqueville, stated:

The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.

Who is directing this takeover?... in a world where good and evil seem distant to the echoing cries of help and guidance, many Americans become lost in a world full of want and desire, immune to the fact that they and their families are starving for true leadership and intrepid decision making...

The most powerful government drug (power) dealers, bent on getting all Americans addicted to their handouts so that our corrupt government politicians can live to vote another day... these are those who are directing this evil.

So, President Obama, if you think you are a true leader and statesman intent on providing a beacon and pathway for Americans to survive in this turbulent world, you need to consider why you have been given this opportunity to do so, and act in the interests of all Americans, whether they be able to feed themselves or not, otherwise you have a lot to learn about true leadership and human compassion. Yet we see you fighting to pull the stopper in the sink and push America into an economic downward spiral with your obsession on health care reform and cap and trade issues that are only designed to help the greedy addicts of government subsidy in gaining what it choses not to work for as a healthy workforce. You are supporting a monster that is fit to remain eternally tied to sucking the tit of the fat government pig, just so fat and powerful senators and congressman can continue to get re-elected by using the money of hard working Americans to feed the addictions of lazy Americans bent on never having to lift themselves into any position whereby they can cut their dependency on government bribes and subsidy.

Unless this changes, as Atlas shruggs, there will be a revolt so real, and so tremendous, that Krakatoa will pale in comparison. I am realizing sadly, that most of our elected officials would rather sit complacent with the hope that such a revolt won’t occur. They would rather do nothing than work together to help support all Americans in a way, that allows them to support themselves, and not rely on your bribes, so that you can keep getting your best supporters elected forever.

The challenge is there: work to save America or continue on your present course and destroy everything America has worked so hard for years to become, and I must add, that has allowed even the most radical and Marxist to be elected in a free society without fear of reprisal and harm. This country is a wonderful country, with a Constitution that protects the little voices as well as the louder ones. But when elected officials become complacent in actions tantamount to tyranny and oppression, no matter how hard they think they are doing what they think is right, people will learn quickly that their rights and liberties are being not just eroded, but annihilated, and for what, just another politicians can have another 2 or 4 or 6 years of pubic service or dare I say, public abuse of its citizens.

My, GOD, open your eyes to real America, and not just your handlers who feed you words to spill into your elegant teleprompter. You have the ability to be a real leader, yet you chose to work to destroy. Many tears will fall and many lives will suffer with your direction that it appears is only serving your needs and your handlers, and not the needs of our great Nation.

History will show who has helped all Americans to grow and live in a free society. The choice is free, the direction is open, and only the brave, the bold, and the intrepid will be seen as truly helping Americans survive to raise their families in a world where good and evil are not just words in a speech.

It’s NOT just the “government workers”...it’s the UNION workers ($60/month in dues X millions)....that’s what I’m talkin’ about!

Yes, it’s worrisome that approximately half the people living in this country are chronically indigent. Many of them have been for generations, and most were lured into their present sad state by government handouts. What’s worrisome about it is that they’re almost numerous enough to elect politicians who’ll give them more handouts.

I disagree just a little bit with your assertion that BHO has it in him to be a great leader. If you heard him pander to native americans, and then give his “shout out” to a man who holds a different medal than BHO named, BEFORE mentioning the Fort Hood massacre, you should know that he’s completely out of touch with humanity, let alone with America.

See my post 8 in the same thread. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/gop/2381968/posts?page=8#8 Every government job the dems can create is another union voter for them!

What you need to know is that the Obama government will charge higher wage workers a huge amount for the same care a bum gets. The bum will get crappy care too, but it will be subsidized or free.

This is how they intend to redistribute the wealth.

oh, and don’t forget, the government will raid this fund just like SS.

Heavy duty rationing coming.

Regrettably, I agree. Hope springs eternal. But in the case of President Teleprompter Hussain Obama, I would have to admit, that it seems extremely unlikely that he will ever truly or deeply understand the damage he is causing to our great country. I think he lacks the gravitas to obtain any real understanding of anyone’s life outside his own, if not for the simple fact that he has never had to work for anything. In other words, he behaves like a spoiled brat; something very unbecoming for a President or executive in any activity. He does make a very effective politician, though...

but as Mark Twain stated:

There is no distinctly American criminal class - except Congress.

Funny, I envision the Prez going home to Mama Obama and saying, “Mama, this is going great! I’ll redistribute another trillion to poor black countries tomorrow alone.... Do you really think that noise outside is gunfire? I’ve never been around guns — what’s that ‘tick tick ticking’ against our walls? And how thick are these walls?”
