Obama's subtle implication to socialism, and leadership cowardly defined.

"We are an American family, we will rise or fall together, as one nation, and as one people." - Barrack Obama.

If we are an American family, does this make President Obama our patriarch? Is Obama suggesting that Americans are his children?

Let's first take a look at the root meaning and what constitutes the term "family" in most societies.  Generally, anthropologists (those who study of the origin, the behavior, and the physical, social, and cultural development of humans) classify a family as a principle institution for the socialization of children.

Socialization? Sound familiar?  If not, socialization interpreted by sociologists, anthropologists, social psychologists, and political scientists use this term to distinguish the process of inheriting and disseminating norms, customs, and ideologies.

Obamacare is standing by, and ready to pounce on every working American.  I say "working" because it will be those of us dishing federal taxed income that will face the major burdens of this socialized agenda.  But not nearly to the extent of those who are responsible for the employment of workers, and those on the front lines of job growth.

Newsmax and Michael Reagan:

He [Michael Reagan] added that the country is on the path toward socialism and the 5-4 decision keeps the nation on that road.

“What this did is not take us off the path,” he said. “This kept us on the path to socialism. … What we found out today is that you can’t count on the court; you can’t count on Congress, all you can do is count on ourselves. And we have to work hard, harder at being engaged so that we truly replace those people in the House, in the Senate that want to stay on the path to socialism.

Obama continues, "we will rise or fall together."



To correct the President: we are plummeting. Nevertheless, as Americans will stand united, and we will not fall.  I have faith in this country, and assurance that the people of this great nation will stand fast and protect the basic ideologies of our constitution.  We cannot lose hope, and we cannot sit and watch during the mid-term elections or any election for that matter. 

This very statement posted on Obama's twitter, and a focal campaign slogan post election, speaks volumes.  The President is ultimately our leader.  To "fall together," or in other words, to fail collectively alongside our leader is a total unimpaired fallacy.

A leader who is incapable or inadequate to lead by example cannot be considered as such.  How arrogant is this "slogan" to suggest that, through his leadership of course, we will follow aimlessly into plunging failure?  The leader must lead from the front.  This is how "leading by example" is defined.



However, we already know Obama's approach to "effective" leadership.  Washington Post:

This phrase ["leading from behind"], you might remember, was coined in reference to Barack Obama’s reluctance to take the lead in the NATO air campaign that toppled the dictatorship of Moammar Gaddafi. And that operation, in which the French seized the initiative, was mounted to save Benghazi, the city where the insurrection started and the one where U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed last week. Benghazi was saved from Gaddafi’s bloody reprisals, but not from mayhem.

Ultimately, it is the American choice to follow the president into future failures.  We will not allow the president to suggest the American people are holding his hand through continued misguided and misdirected deficiencies.  A president is yet ONE man.  America is a nation, and if anyone were to fail it will sequentially be him, and only him.  Americans will rise above, and that is how we are defined.
