The Doom of Our Freedom

From Reuters June 8, 2011

President Barack Obama on Tuesday urged European countries and bondholders to prevent a "disastrous" default by Greece and pledged U.S. support to help tackle the country's debt crisis.

Obama, whose political prospects have suffered from persistently high unemployment and ballooning U.S. debt, has pinpointed the euro zone crisis as one foreign "headwind" hitting the U.S. economy.


After a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, he stressed the importance of German "leadership" on the issue - a hint that he expects Berlin to help - while expressing sympathy for the political difficulties European Union countries face in helping a struggling member state.


How can Mr. Obama think that we need to give more to Greece after they were already given, What was it? 160 billion dollars already. However, because the Government in Greece cannot get control of a society of takers, They now need more.

Is this the one thing we need to do to stabilize the world economy? Or should we consider the need to stand firm in our own resolve to fix the problems we have here. this nation is fast becoming a nation of "takers". the more the Government gives the more we want. When does it end? We cannot keep going in this direction and expect to survive. maybe that is exactly what Mr. Obama and his cronies want, a nation that is no longer the a leader in this world. We will become just like all the other nations that have been ruined by taking more from the "rich" and giving to the "poor". What can we expect if we allow this to continue? Is this the change we can hope for? A dead end life with no more opportunity to pull ourselves up and become something or someone of significance.
Wake up America before it is no longer called America the land of the free and the home of the brave.
