Barack Obama Doesn't Get the Founding Fathers
From Obama:
"It was over 200 years ago that a group of patriots gathered in this city to do something that no one in the world believed they could do," Obama said. "After years of a government that didn't listen to them, or speak for them, or represent their hopes and their dreams, a few humble colonists came to Philadelphia to declare their independence from the tyranny of the British throne."
I would like to see a quote from any of the Founding Fathers asking for a government to "represent their hopes and their dreams."
I'm fairly certain that the whole point was that they had too much government that it was precluding them from achieving their hopes and dreams.
And one more point on that. The Founding Fathers included God wherever they can, and went out of their way to highlight the importance of gun rights. Or as Barack would say, they were "bitter."
