His vision? What does that entail precisely? Fixing the economy? Doing something about the BP Spill? Handling the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? Trying to reform our health care? Are you privy to some sort of secret agenda he's actually planning? Because I'm not really seeing anything that could be defined as reconstructing America.
And just what is this 'traditional America' you accuse him of not loving? What does 'traditional America' include? The United States was hardly a country built on tradition, if we were, we'd be stuck with a monarchy, drinking tea and admiring our own very red coats.
'Traditional America' is a crock and a myth, the romanticism of a supposed encroached upon glory. Because all of America is traditional America. There is no line where America becomes traditional and then not, the entire concept is ludicrous. It implies that parts of America are more American than others, America is supposed to be a place of equality, and to classify some as more American than others undermines this notion.
The small towns, farms, rural areas are just as part of America as the urban cities and suburbia. The conservatives are just as traditional as the liberals, the religious as the atheistic and the doves as much as the hawks. No part is more equal than others, no part is more American than the others, no part is more traditional than the others.
Who are you to decide what traditional America is? As long as you're a citizen, or even if you live here with a green card, as long as you do something within the borders of the United States of America, pursuing and using your freedoms to do what you wish, so long as it does not encroach upon others, you are a 'traditional American'. And no one can say otherwise.
Provide the context and supplemental information on whether is was one speech or his entire career at the Church. And then point out where Obama decided to espouse these ideas in his life.
