Is the American dream still feasible in this modern era and sinking economy?
Why are Republicans laughing at a man who embodies the American dream?

Rudy Giuliani: "His (Obama's) rise is remarkable in its own right.
It's the kind of thing that can happen only in America."
(Laughter, applause)

Is it really that unheard of for someone to rise to the top from nothing?  When our own government is counting on maintaining the status quo, it’s time for change.  I really hope no one man’s dream is deferred in this nation.

A Dream Deferred
by Langston Hughes

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore–
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over–
like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?
