Its amazing to me that you take a snapshot of people and apply it to all of America. I'm pretty sure that I work hard and am Self-reliant and independant...I'd bet that is the same for everybody on this board. and to apply that America, the whole, is not like that.....is assinine. There are plenty of people out there that still hold American values....even ones that voted for Obama. I'm pretty sure the people you butt heads here in the political forum are all working and not looking for hand-outs either.

are there problems, Abso-Friekin-Lutely.....but I haven't given up on it......sorry to see you have.

This IS America

the amount of people you reference above are dwindling. You will soon be the minority. the president is not leading you, he is the leading the ones I refer to.
Dont agree? Go to every presidential town hall EVER, and see if anyone has spoken the way have to. No one has addressed a US president the way they do now. its the new America Dad and honeslty I dont think you, I or any hard working Americans will be part of it, except paying the bill

making s-b.com a kinder, gentler place for all

I agree on your points.
My point was, that is not the direction this country is now heading. Everyone expects a hand out because thats what Obama has promised. The town meetings he now holds would be a funny SNL skit. It's pathetic. He does not drive home what made America great. He appeases people with promises of what he will do for them.

Unfortunately he is coming across as the great panderer.
I wonder if he is going to get larger pockets made in his pants so he can carry dimes to hand out like Rockefeller.
