Obama preaches shame of being an achiever--Marcus

• Today's government is proceeding quickly to remake America into a place on a map which says
• "Equality of Outcome" (for you-not for them).

"Recently, I thought of two Hall of Fame baseball players, Baltimore Orioles', Frank Robinson and Cal Ripken Jr. On several occasions, I witnessed Robinson, bottom of the ninth with two outs,

• dramatically hitting the game winning home run. Most players may hit the game winner once in their careers. With great pride, they repeatedly tell the tale to their grandkids. Incredibly, Frank Robinson hit the "big one" numerous times....

I wondered, what makes one "that guy" or "that woman", the person that does the impossible repeatedly at the perfect moment? ...

• A common thread ties these high achievers together.

• It is character and a strong work ethic....

Here in America, we are blessed with a precious gift, Freedom. For which, many brave men and women have paid the ultimate price. There is something wonderful and American about striving to be the BEST, competition, winning, losing, character and hard work.

• Freedom does not guarantee equal outcomes.

It does give one a rare opportunity to rise to the pinnacle. In most countries, if your parents are peasants, you will be also. In America, opportunities are limitless, restricted only by one's "Will" to GO FOR IT!

• Horrifically, the Obama administration is committed to re-shaping America. Using "class envy", which appeals to our lower nature,

Obama has successfully demonized achievers.

• He accuses them of being greedy and selfish.

President Obama, the supposed "Great Unifier" uses his bully pulpit to divide Americans by proclaiming,

• "You have too little because THEY have too much". He vows to
• "Spread the wealth around".

Ponder this for a moment folks, like no president before him, our president, Mr. Obama traveled around the world on his

• "America is Too Successful and Arrogant Apology Tour"....

• My mom was a domestic worker. She cleaned white folk's homes and did ironing. She was respected for her honesty and character. My dad was one of the first blacks who broke the color barrier into the Baltimore City Fire Department. Despite horrendous treatment by the white firefighters, my dad won "Firefighter of the Year" TWO TIMES! Neither of my parents EVER taught my four younger siblings and me that we were ENTITLED to the earnings of others....

The day most Americans believe they are ENTITLED is the day we die as a great nation.

• Obama wants to reward failure, laziness and bad behavior, while punishing achievers. Outrageously, he fired the CEO of General Motors. Now, he wants to 'cap' salaries.... When did we vote to change the Constitution giving government control over private sector business? ...

If one works harder, is smarter and invests wiser than others, why shouldn't he reap the benefits? All you folks who agree with Obama's redistribution plan, do you want to see a loser? Look in the mirror. I'm sorry, but people who are consumed with "class envy" and "entitlement" are losers....

• Winners celebrate excellence and strive to emulate it.

At least for now, this is still America. We ARE the greatest nation on the planet, where personal achievement is celebrated and rewarded. For the sake of our children, we MUST not allow one "resentful of our greatness" president to KILL the American Dream! "
