Transformation from WHAT?

From a man with work tools in his hand.

January 20, 1961 John F. Kennedy gave his inaugural address beginning, “The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe — the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.”

And ended, "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God’s work must truly be our own."

In 2012 Obama’s campaign flipped that speech upside down and inside out asking people to rely on the “generosity” of the government wanting people to ask what their country can do for them. To the liberals who do not understand Ramirez’s comic, I pretty much explained it to you using the words of a Democrat.

@Keith Russell

From Obama’s speech….
“America’s never been about what can be done for us. It’s about what can be done by us together through the hard and frustrating, but necessary work of self-government. That’s the principle we were founded on.”

@CDowns…I think this is what you missed in Russell’s post=
“In 2012 Obama’s campaign flipped that speech upside down and inside out asking people to rely on the “generosity” of the government wanting people to ask what their country can do for them….”
(Russell didn’t say “Obama’s speech”…he said “the Obama campaign” which was definitely telling the 49% now dependent on government welfare and entitlements that even more voters should vote for Obama to add more and more citizens to the government rolls for benefits—-IMO)

Obama always gives good speeches. That’s his forte, he’s an excellent political actor.

IMO what the voters have done by reelecting Obama=
1. Unemployment will now begin a rise due to businesses wishing to stay out of bankruptcy and closing, in MASS LAYOFFS. www.humanevents.com 11/8/12 “Forwarde! To Mass Layoffs!” by John Hayward. Also see Michelle Malkins recent columns citing facts about layoffs…link on Drudge.
-
2. The far from landslide Democrat elections….they gained only 2 Senate seats to keep the majority, but could not gain the majority in the House….and the far from landslide of Obama’s win….will be used to join with Obama’s MSM to browbeat the elected GOP to “compromise” in supporting the Democrat plans to keep raising the debt limit and to slash the Defense Dept. budget but keep adding social and domestic spending, while threatening the GOP to rubberstamp TAX HIKES on income taxes in the Robin Hood plot to make the “rich” much, much more “poor”….
-
3. Obamacare new taxes will hit the nation, and 102 new federal agencies must be created and staffed and funded…
with no hope of doing the majority of the public’s wishes to repeal or drastically trim and reform Obamacare. The providers will do what they deem necessary to cope with federal dictatorship new mandates and rules, and many Doctors will adapt operating methods or QUIT.
