First Lady Michelle Obama talked about America as she visited a school today in China. She talked about the American dream. …
But warned that not everything is perfect. “Now of course, living up to these ideals isn’t always easy. And there have been times in our history where we have fallen short. Many decades ago, there were actually laws in America that allowed discrimination against black people like me, who are a minority in the United States. But over time, ordinary citizens decided that those laws were unfair. So they held peaceful protests and marches. They called on government officials to change those laws, and they voted to elect new officials who shared their views,” she said.
"And then there’s this other guy I know who was raised by a single mother who sometimes struggled to afford food for their family. But like me, this guy got scholarships and loans to attend universities. He became a lawyer and a professor, and then he was a state senator and then a national senator. And then, he became President of the United States. This guy I’m talking about is my husband, Barack Obama. (Applause.)
These stories are the stories of so many Americans, and of America itself. Because in America, we believe that no matter where you live or how much money your parents have, or what race or religion or ethnicity you are, if you work hard and believe in yourself, then you should have a chance to succeed. We also believe that everyone is equal, and that we all have the right to say what we think and worship as we choose, even when others don’t like what we say or don’t always agree with what we believe."
Laying the b.s. on rather thick, ain't she.
If you work hard and believe in yourself, then you should have a chance to succeed.
If that was coming from an adherent of the capitalist free market system it would be an uplifting message, but with socialists like the Obamas even that statement comes with its own disclaimer.
And you don't have to believe me, just listen to the professor himself:
Did you get that? "I do think at a certain point you've made enough money."
You see, under the fascist Obama regime, you can only be as successful as they will allow you to be.
How do you like your Hopey Changey now?

Conversely you can become a facist, racist, thuggish, community organizer and live off other people's confiscated success (wealth), e.g. Mooch and Zero.

Rev, I think I'm at that point, or at least pretty close to it right now!
