Let’s see…What would be an inspirational message to students at their graduation?
How about: “Dream the impossible, it may become reality” ?
Or: “You have your entire lives ahead of you, so make the most of it” ?
Well, if you are Barack Hussein Obama, here is what you say:
“You can never succeed on your own. You will need help. Lots of help.”
Via BizPac Review:
Speaking to a group of students Monday afternoon, Obama echoed his infamous “you didn’t build that” comments when he told the White House Mentorship and Leadership graduates that no one achieves anything on their own.
“This idea that somehow we succeed just on our own is just not true,” Obama told the group of college-bound students. “Nobody does, not even the president of the United States….
"This idea that somehow we succeed just on our own – is just not true," says @POTUS. "Nobody does, not even the president."

@BarneyFranken @POTUS @markknoller how about FAILING? IS this on your own or who helped you build that Barry?

@markknoller @POTUS I absolutely succeeded on my own. No help from anyone. Interviewed, got jobs, rose through the ranks. Pay my way.

@markknoller @POTUS "worked hard and made it to the top myself" said no liberal democrat, ever.

It is an absurd comment. Unless you live alone in the forest your life will of course be impacted positively and negatively by others. Nobody thinks of “making it on your own” as literally having no interactions or dependencies with other people. Obama and the Left want to undermine the nobility of character to have ambition, determination and perseverance in making your way to a life you choose. The masses should be made to feel overwhelmed, helpless and justified in making claims on what others have.
I’m probably more moderate than conservative when it comes to welfare. It is appropriate for the government to give assistance but it should be done with prudence and competently administered. The Right may be too harsh but the Left is diabolical in their suffocating plans for welfare.
His Marxist view of community organizing. Doesn’t organize so you can succeed, rather organizes so you can follow him. Forward to leading from behind.
It sure sounds like barry is speaking from experience, since that sack of sh#t never built a damn thing in his life. Roughly two more years of this arsehole, God help us!
