Greetings,

The Bob Edwards Show included coverage of a politician who criticized President Obama by saying, “For the first time, the American dream could vanish.”

For the first time . . . the American dream could vanish ?

During the term of the first African American president, this gentleman is saying that the American dream even existed for African Americans when the first American dream was forged into the home that will always cradle the dream . . . Always cradle the dream.

I believe the gentleman who made this statement was a senator.

His statement rings untrue on two counts. The American Dream still does not even exist for some people . . . AND it will NEVER vanish. That is the foundation of the American Dream...you will never defeat the American Spirit.

No matter how much your words or actions try to make the false seem true, the American Dream will never vanish because it is the people’s dream the of all the people in the world who choose to abide by the main truth in our foundation...ALL people are created equal.

If you understand that simple truth . . . If you understand the will of the people and help them manifest a spirit of union, of cooperation, a spirit of collaboration you don’t have to fear the American dream will vanish.

Is it harder right now? Look at what we have created. Of course it is harder.

But anyone who fears the vanishing American Dream doesn't understand the diverse American Spirit . . . protected by law.

Politicians who talk about the ongoing job of building and protecting the American Dream are who I want to hear from. I want to hear constructive criticism, but please bring something that moves the ball forward.

Although this was such a shockingly unthoughtful statement that it is newsworthy. Unfortunately, there are enough of these mistaken comments we could have a show called, “What Century is This?”

Best regards,

Mike
