Default Excellent Leadership From President Obama

In his commencement speech at Morehouse College, the President addressed graduates with the tone and message needed to move America beyond its current quagmire. He told the audience that they needed personal responsibility, good choices, and sacrifice. They must earn success rather than have it given to them. I commend him for his courage and bravery. It was for things like this I voted for him. (Plus, I thought Romney sucked)

President Obama:

"We know that too many young men in our community continue to make bad choices," he said. "Growing up, I made quite a few myself. Sometimes I wrote off my own failings as just another example of the world trying to keep a black man down. I had a tendency sometimes to make excuses for me not doing the right thing. But one of the things that all of you have learned over the last four years, is there's no longer any room for excuses."
"I understand there's a common fraternity creed here at Morehouse: excuses are tools of the incompetent, used to build bridges to nowhere and monuments of nothingness," he said. "Well, we've got no time for excuses - not because the bitter legacies of slavery and segregation have vanished entirely; they haven't.
"Not because racism and discrimination no longer exist; we know those are still out there," he added. "It's just that in today's hyper-connected, hyper-competitive world, with millions of young people from China and India and Brazil, many of whom started with a whole lot less than all of you did, all of them entering the global workforce alongside you, nobody is going to give you anything that you haven't earned."

Obama has been making this same speech for years and is getting very good at it. Too bad he doesn't really believe it. Remember last year; "you didn't build that", "dedicate yourself to public service", "don't be afraid of government", "don't listen to people who tell you government is evil", ectera, ectera, ectera.....

What a surprise.

Partial quote taken out of context used to support jd's opinion. Quotes attributed to Obama but made by someone else, quotes that aren't quotes, etc., etc.,


If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business—you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen

and yet I didn't see SSOB offer any proof. Should be easy but then again if you do go back then you might have to post something you don't want to. Come on SSOB, put up or shut up and take a chance.
