Understanding Obama's Dream

When Obama ran for President in 2008 he ran on hope and change.  Few of us understood what that meant and what Obama's dream was for America. To define Obama's dream we need to look at some of his guiding principles.  From what I see the following statements best define Obama's views. First, government is better than we are. Government manages better, is more efficient and cares more than we do. It then would be obvious to Obama that if we turned all of our cares and problems over to the government we will be reach his nirvana of happiness and safety. Next, we have the principle that says that since government does not earn a profit it must be better  and more efficient than private, for profit business. This leads us to his next great principle, profit is bad. Let's take a look at foreign policy now. Obama thinks that our relationship with the world has been bad. Our leadership has oppressed and our enemies were caused by our actions. Obama wants to abdicate our world leadership and let the united nations or anyone else take the lead. He thinks if we talk to our enemies magically they will stop trying to kill us and our friends. If we withdraw from the world they won't be mad at us anymore.  He thinks that we have nothing to fear from the fundamentalist Muslim groups that continue to pour money and men into Al Qaeda. Next, we have Obama's view of each of us. He thinks that we are uninformed, rather stupid and gullible. He thinks he can lie and cheat his way into another 4 years and his lapdog press will keep lapping up his junk and slobbering on us with their completely biased reports So, now that we have a clearer understanding of Obama's world view, we come to his dream. Obama's dream is to take care of us (since we are incapable of caring for ourselves).  He believes the rest of the world is better able to manage our international affairs (so our country should just step back from the world stage).  His dream is to concentrate command and control of the economy in Washington with those that are "smart enough". His dream continues to reduce our world footprint and take us down a notch to "level" the playing field and reduce our impact on the world.
We are living his dream. This is what he wants. We are at risk, the world no longer respects us. Our economy is wobbly and is having a difficult time building a recovery as Obama continues to change the economic stage with more regulations and the specter of higher taxes looming at the end of the year.  If you are better off today and feel safer and more prosperous, then perhaps Obama is your man. For the rest of us Romney has a clear plan, the experience we need and his dream is our success and expanded freedom.
