Well when he spends trillions on give away welfare he will shore up his dependent base.

Obama should try to emulate Teddy Roosevelt instead of Lincoln or the other Roosevelt...
Teddy said

“If a man stumbles, it is a good thing to help him to his feet. Every one of us needs a helping hand now and then. But if a man lies down, it is a waste of time to try and carry him; and it is a very bad thing for every one if we make men feel that the same reward will come to those who shirk their work and those who do it. Let us, then, take into account the actual facts of life, and not be misled into following any proposal for achieving the millennium, for recreating the golden age, until we have subjected it to hardheaded examination.”

So much for all that grand talk about personal responsibility in his inauguration speech... I guess that was fodder for the Elite Right...
