>>One rarely sees neighborhood kids in pickup football games anymore.
You rarely see kids playing anything these days. How can they? Helicopter parents, dawn to dusk day care and structured play all keep kids in a cage for their entire childhood and they are only let out for “approved” and “supervised” activities. Obama is not the problem on this one. He is just more than willing to extend their “managed childhood” for them to age 26...and in the case of Julia, far beyond.
They were trained to be happy in their cage by their parents. Their parents (usually their “single” mom) made them good, little socialists for Obama to exploit for life.
A centenarian was recently asked what the biggest change was that she had seen in her lifetime. She said it was not jet planes, space shuttles, television or the Internet, but the fact that children are no longer seen playing outdoors, which she thought was a very sad development.
