"And Obama's penchants to lecture us endlessly, to be the center of attention endlessly and to saturate the airwaves and national conversation are clear indications that he believes government is the answer to every societal, religious, economic and cultural question we face"

What you mean is that just because Obama teach our kids and "lecture" us things, We must believe that Obama believes that he/his government is the answer to everything. He often repeat in his speeches what americans can do for their country, I doubt his intentions are of that kind.

However if it was George Bush lecturing us, then it might have been possible that his hidden agenda was that the government should be the center of everything, I mean look at the history of the Bush family, look at for example Karl Rove, look at his whole administration, they all used the "purpose justifies the means" mentality to such a degree that they where capable of doing practically anything.George W. Bush has costed the country trillions of dollars because of his hidden agendas.

But this is about Obama. Obama as I see him is not a lecturer, I see him as a leader that we all need, that gather us making us work togeather if only we do something, as a reminder both of things we have forgotten such as "ask not what the country can do for you but what you can do for your country" and things regarding the faith towards the rulers of the country that has long ago fainted.
