Of course, it's part of our national identity that the U.S. is the land of opportunity. A place one can rise by one's own efforts, where children are not limited by the circumstances of their birth or their parents' birth but there are disturbing reports suggesting that this is no longer the case in the U.S. and that the U.S. now lags behind its northern neighbor Canada and a number of developed Western European nations like Britain when it comes to economic mobility.
For a President to say that nobody is is entitled to success in the USA? :roll:
That's plain wrong.
Liberal Affirmative Action policies, redistribution of wealth policies, winners and losers chosen by the political correctness classifications, etc., etc., all guarantee aspects of success and entitlement to chosen groups or individuals.
For Obama to state otherwise is nonsense.
Yes, you're not entitled to it. You're allowed the opportunity to have it. Thus why we've been called the LAND OF OPPORTUNITY and not the LAND OF BEING ENTITLED TO SUCCESS.

The meaning IMO is that a person has to show up for life and apply for a job and work hard to achieve. The opportunities are there we just have to find them.
Since I am not in argument of semantics here.... I will pass the opportunity to answer you.
ummm.... I don't know .... why can't he talk clearer? we should not be having trouble here interpreting his meaning.

Either you don't know what semantics are or you're hoping that I don't. There aren't any semantics here. You aren't entitled to success because there is no right capable of granting you success to begin with. Thus why stating that you are ENTITLED to success is flawed. Having an opportunity to achieve success doesn't make it an entitlement anymore than having the opportunity to drive means you are ENTITLED to driving.
But, I don't ever expect you to ever own up to your flawed arguments. You've demonstrated that there is a serious fuse between the part of your brain responsible for reading statement and your partisanship. So continue posting on this forum, people will attack the weak nonsense you call "arguments".
And I don't believe Obama is entitled to another 4 years. da' bum
Again... you and I see things in a different light.... therefore.... i prefer not to answer you.

But if he is he should communicate his points with more clarity.

But he's not. He's an exposed fraud. Semantics remember?
He is a total fraud, I agree.
Uh no, you can't read a statement and jumped to a flawed conclusion. Actually, that would be giving you too much credit. You deliberately misrepresented a statement to validate your flawed conclusion.
From day...one..
And it really urks me that the Obamabots in America don't see thru this guy. or maybe they do and dont' want to come off their arrongant perch of ignorance.
