The Preamble of the Declaration of Independence gives us the right to pursue happiness. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness – That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
It does not give a guarantee. Happiness is defined so differently by each person. And we are given the right to pursue them as we want. There are limitations of course. We cannot hurt others in our pursuit.
Obama overreaches as he tries to micromanage the rehab of big banks. He has no expertise in banking and neither do his advisors. It’s going to backfire. He has already looked foolish in allowing the officers of AIG to take their bonuses and then take it all back by taxing it. That is so childish. And yet many people seem to approve. Do they not see who is ultimately at fault here?

Declaration of independence. If only the government you would stick to it.. we'd probably still be a republic.
With Obama as pres. we'll probably become a social communism country.
