... that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Ironically, it is the president that freed the slaves that condemns the first black president with his words echoing from the grave.
... government of the people, by the people, for the people ...
Where is this sentiment in the halls of congress, in the White House and in the union halls and K Street?
The people no longer matter. There is no longer a "of", "by" or "for", just twisted raw power that tells the people that they'll be governed by government, by their betters and to the people.

Cap and Trade is now known by the people to be a lie and is really a power grab and a tax to support that grab. So, the hell with the people:

People want "reform" in health care in terms of making it easier and cheaper to get, not a lousy government controlled health care that will lower quality and make it more expensive just as Medicare/Medicaid did. So, Obama and his unAmerican ideologues will just repackage the latest spin on health care "reform" and attempt to bank on Obama's charm, faux openness and truthfulness and sham marketing to try and hoodwink the people again:

At what point will Obama, Pelosi and Reid and the rest of their ilk understand that the American people don't want their brand of government? At what point will Obama and his fellow travelers understand that their politics of ignoring the people, whatever Obama's real goals, will destroy the greatest experiment in life and liberty ever attempted?
This is shameless on Obama's part and he and his ego should be ridiculed and laughed out of office.
