2008 quote shows Obama true feelings

Posted February 24, 2015 11:01 pm

Rudy Giuliani had taken a lot of criticism of his view that President Obama does not love our country.

Before the liberal media and defenders of the president go completely off the deep end, let's review a significant quote from candidate Obama on Oct. 30, 2008 in which he said, "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America."

Now consider that five days before you are to be married, you announce to your future spouse and all family members, "I love you and I am just five days away from fundamentally transforming you." Pretty sure that this would not be viewed by anyone as an unwavering proclamation of your love for your future spouse. Also pretty sure that the wedding would be called off.

But in our current state of the low information voter, this kind of comment from candidate Obama goes under reported and largely unnoticed and remains under reported and unnoticed. I believe this single quote is a telling truth about how Obama feels about our country which is imperfect but did not require to be fundamentally transformed.
