From the White House Twitter feed:
“Freedom is your inheritance. Now, it is your responsibility to build upon freedom’s foundation.”
Which is the worst metaphor since “The reckless fiscal policies of the past have left us in a very deep hole. Digging our way out will take time and patience and tough choices.”
Let me explain by de-metaphorizing that Twitter line:
“This house is your inheritance. Now, it is your responsibility to build upon this house’s foundation”.
Which is just weird. If you have a house, the foundation is underneath it, so it’s kind of hard to build on it, since… um… the house is in the way.
So I think what Obama’s saying is that government has come along with a wrecking ball, smashing your inherited freedom to bits, and hey – good luck building something over that hole in the ground we left you, because we’ll be back later to smash that, too.
Maybe it’s time to take some wrecking balls to the government’s demolition equipment.
The Whitehouse has a Twitter feed? Yet another sign of the apocalypse.
My apologies for the comments on this one being closed all day. I clicked something I shouldn’t have before publishing the post.
Harvey,
I was wondering about that. I just figured you were afraid we would make fun of you.
(Ouch!) (Ouch!) (Don’t hit me!)
liberals are a wrecking ball destroying everything they can.
