More From Obama

As I noted in my previous post, Obama's speech on Tuesday was full of references to the type of government we'll have if he becomes President.

Here's an excerpt (with Obama discussing what John McCain would see if he toured America):

"Maybe if he went to Iowa and met the student who works the night shift after a full day of class and still can't pay the medical bills for a sister who's ill, he'd understand that she can't afford four more years of a health care plan that only takes care of the healthy and wealthy. She needs us to pass a health care plan that guarantees insurance to every American who wants it and brings down premiums for every family who needs it. That's the change we need."

"Maybe if he went to Pennsylvania and met the man who lost his job but can't even afford the gas to drive around and look for a new one, he'd understand that we can't afford four more years of our addiction to oil from dictators. That man needs us to pass an energy policy that works with automakers to raise fuel standards, and makes corporations pay for their pollution, and oil companies invest their record profits in a clean energy future—an energy policy that will create millions of new jobs that pay well and can't be outsourced. That's the change we need."

Look, something for everyone! No pain, no worries, the government will take care of everything!

Obama loves victims, doesn't he? He is sure playing to the modern American audience. Nothing is our responsibility. We are "owed" and entitled to our jobs, our leisure, our health. If something goes wrong, its not our job to fix it, somebody (read: government) should step in.
