Pimping for the Presidency

Effort: "Our country calls not for the life of ease, but for the life of strenuous endeavor. The twentieth century (now 21st) looms before us big with the fate of many nations. If we stand idly by, if we seek merely swollen slothful ease, and ignoble peace, if we shrink from the hard contests where men must win at hazard of their lives, at the risk of all they held dear, then the holder and stronger peoples will pass them by and will win for themselves the dominion of\the world." - Theodore Roosevelt, speech in Chicago, 1899. Only today, I had the misfortune of hearing Obama speaking to a crowd of his followers. The crowd we not only enchanted, the were fixed on the fact that he was promising everything their little hearts could and would desire. When did this come to pass--that greed, envy and sloth would be in the hearts of all to many of our citizens of today. To witness an audience so transfixed that they were being promised all things by a man of no consequence except that he can speak well. What is his record? If anything it is negligible! He has no record of doing much of anything worthy of note. Yes, he can draw a crowd, but so can a clown. There is an old saying, "If you do nothing you can't be blamed for anything." Right now his audience is to infatuated to realize, all his promises are empty words. It is the congress that will decide who gets what, how much is spent, when we go to war and so on. He is not a compassionate man, he is a man who would, so to speak, Break the Bank to achieve his objectives. The Seven Marks of Compassion Are: 1. To give relief only after personal investigation of each case... 2. To give necessary articles and only what is immediately necessary. 3. To give what is least susceptible of abuse. 4. To give only in small quantities in proportion to immediate need and less than might be procured by labor, except in the cases of sickness... 5. To give assistance at the right moment, not to prolong it beyond duration of the necessity which calls for it... 6. To require of each beneficiary abstinence from intoxicating liquor (or mind altering drugs)... 7. To discontinue relieving all who manifest a purpose to depend on alms rather than their own exertions for support. The Messenger.
