I’m sorry but we need government
When I was coming of age, in the time of Watergate and Vietnam, like many others I was so fed up with government, that I came to believe that we needed to fuck up the government so it could stop fucking with us. The United States was bad, that’s what we thought, and there was a lot of justification for that point of view. I voted for Reagan, as a lot of other people did, because he said what we believed. Let’s get on with doing our thing, and keep the government from screwing up. Of course it turns out that isn’t what Reagan was doing, he was just saying that to get our votes. Figures.

LOL @ 1984
Look, I’m not going to play the political game here – I LOVE Obama and even though I don’t agree with his recent decision on the Afghan War will continue to support him – but seriously, giving your speech at a Military Academy? I couldn’t have possibly kept myself from commenting on how funny it is that almost your entire audience is dressed nearly IDENTICALLY.
How can you not compare this event to the 1984 stereotype?
For reference, the Apple 1984 Commercial (remake):
