Obama Speaks to Congressional Summer Interns <blockquote class='ipsBlockquote' >“America is a great country. There is no denying this. However, I caution you all as you step forward in your careers. Peer back into history and ask yourselves- Was a revolution truly necessary? Great Britain may not have had it completely right, but they had many things right. Take taxes for example.Ifyourneighbor makes $1 Milliona year,but you and your family can barely keep the heat on should he not help your family? God instructs us to help our neighbors. He does not instruct us to look down upon them though the windows of capitalism. Why then on the Fourth of July should you celebrate such a radical break from what is Godly and just? No doubt there are many voices warning you of the harm of big government. They are wrong. Government can provide you with what family and friends cannot. If this is gone what will you have?†Many in the crowd seemed uneasy, and desperate for some sort of clarification. Julie Barks, an intern from Louisiana State University, asked President Obama, “Are you saying we should not celebrate the birth of our country?†President Obama responded, â€I believewe should celebrate where we are going. Celebrate moving forward. Not where we have been.†</blockquote> Enough said. No more is needed. Obama is a traitor plain and simple. Even obama supporters should be offended now.

Always smart to do a bit of fact checking. I don't like Obama one bit...but come on. http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/july4.asp
Wowzers.. I hope you all like socialism because that is the direct route we'll be taking.. the exact opposite route of what made this country great to begin with. It's no surprise to me personally, but for him to lay it out like he did.. must be getting close. edit: thanks cookie
Are you serious? Some random websight said its false and you believe it? There were witnesses dude. They spoke out. Sent from my LG-E739 using Grasscity Forum mobile app

See here http://thelibertypaper.org/2013/07/02/obama-to-college-students-do-not-celebrate-fourth-of-july/ It's not an argument about disinformation, it's about you spreading it as if it's fact. If you want to raise a subject for debate, don't do it in such a way that makes people believe lies. Then you're no better than the people you're arguing against.
people only voted for him because he made false promises, is a good speaker, obviously is "black" so he had some major support from minorities. meanwhile his political assistants were all forth with his agenda to fuck up america for the benefit of the corporations, the greedy, and the selfish. just like bush, he is a representative of the downfall of america and human rights. these fools are nothing but representatives of a terrorist agenda THUGS RUN AMERICA. THUGS RUN THE WORLD.
Yuri.. the "source" you gave us literally says (POLITICAL SATIRE) at the bottom of the article. It doesnt change the fact that I believe he would say something like this if he thought he could get away with it.. thank god he cant.
I think thats way too blatant to come out of Obama's mouth. I mean that would even offend a lot of sheeple.
If you've actually listened to an Obama speech or two, you would know that he sounds nothing like the quotation you gave us. Plus, even if this is what he was really thinking, which it is not, he wouldn't phrase it like this. Giving a speech like this would lead to people wanting him impeached and he's smarter than that. I'm not saying I worship him or anything (I hate politics), but he is definitely too smart to say things like this and risk his entire political agenda. Also the tag at the bottom of the article says political satire.
