Obama is a Marxist and a collectivist. He was a commuinity organizer who used victimization and the unfairness of America to push his political career. And the radical people around him whether in his church or professionally have a deep-seated hatred about this country and the need for "economic justice." He believes America is unfair.
Read Mark Steyn's "The Omnipresent Leader"
"The president’s strategy on January 20 was to hurl all the vast transformative spaghetti at the wall — stimulus, auto nationalization, cap’n’trade, health care — and make it stick through the sheer charisma of his personality. Unfortunately, the American people aren’t finding it quite so charismatic, and they’re beginning to spot the yawning gulf between the post-partisan hopeychangey rhetoric and the budget-busting prosperity-throttling future-beggaring big-government policies."
"The president is not our ruler but our representative, a citizen-executive drawn from the people. It is unbecoming to a self-governing republic to require schoolchildren to (to cite another test question) select the three most important words in the president’s speech."
This whole thing stinks of the “teach your parents well” bullshit..
” Our prez is a HUGE downer ...”
That’s what I took away from it.
Broken classrooms , sad and lonely childhoods , alienation, not fitting it , AIDs, cancer.
Jeez, isn’t the first day of school bad enough without Barry Black Cloud intruding into your classroom ?
Maybe they should offer counseling or a 1-800 number for those students who feel unusually depressed after the lecture.
I take it is just another in-your-face moment for Obama. I believe that the first speech, the one before the fury, was the one which he intended to sneak by everyone.
I want to see that one.
Obama has "jumped the shark" with the American people...and he may never get any credibility back with a majority of the people. Anything he does from this point on will be suspect.
Look at what has happened....he can't even talk to the wittle chiiillldddrrreeeen because everyone knows now that he is capable and willing to indoctrinate them with his leftist, socialist, marxist "values"...just as all the leftist, socialist, marxist's who came before him have done...
He is finished....IMO..
...it will only be a short time before people start laughing openly during his speeches....
Reagan talks about the history of this great nation, the Constitution, liberty, freedom and American exceptionalism. The speech is positive and uplifting.
In contrast, Barry speaks of himself, struggle, challenges and the "unfairness" of the US.
Once again, Barry sticks to his meme that the US is unfair and flawed.
Regan: And we’re entering one of the most exciting times in history, a time of unlimited possibilities, bounded only by the size of your imagination, the depth of your heart, and the character of your courage.
Barry: What you’re learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.
Regan: ``We the People,’’ we can best preserve our liberty and expand the progress of freedom in the world.
Barry: fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free.
Perhaps the most telling is the contrast between Regan's question to students and Barry's (scrubbed) question:
Regan: What are some of the things that you’re proudest of and some of the things that are best about America?
Barry: What does the Pres_dent want you to do? How can you help me?
Exactly right! His mother abandoned the father not the other way around. But they have to keep playing the official “Dreams” birth myth.
Another teachable moment.
I really don’t like it when Presidents or pols try to be “best friends” with children. Most, if not all of them, are crooks. That should be the lesson, after the speech. The “government” is not your parent...not by a long shot. It’s definitely should never be confused with God.
As I see it, there are two types of government and politics in this world, one that puts God and the individual first and one that puts government first. The question is, do you want to put all your trust in men? Obama may be a “good friend”, but he is just a man.
Sad but true - hasn’t made a movie since - maybe some hope for Hollywood yet...
I know, I KNOW!!!!! Who would imagine?..
I have no disagreement with you that zero is a marxist. I also have no issue with ANYONE telling telling kids to get their act together, study and make good grades.
Fortunately, I had Bill Ayers to do my homework for me. Do you have a Bill Ayers in your life? A special friend familiar with explosives, Stalinism, white hatred, attempted murder, the inside of a holding cell, and being a professor? If you don't, you should find one.
Your very own Bill Ayers can even write your best-selling fictional accounts of yourself for you.
The whole speech is about what Obama had to overcome. Nevermind that he went to the best schools, much of it thru affirmative action, and used his days as a community organizer to pave the way for a meteoric political career that led him to the Presidency with little personal achievement. And we really know very little about him except for what he has told us thru his two autobiographies. Exactly who is this guy?
It’s bad.
“And there it is, so innocent sounding, but read it carefully. It is for the collective. Does anybody else parse this as I do?”
That is what I noticed also. There isn’t anything about individual success. It’s all about the collective.
There is only one individual in this narrative. The President. Everyone else must succeed for the good of the collective.
Notice how he neglects to mention the BILL that he is racking up that they will have to pay back.
If he was honest with the students then he should be able to speak otherwise he needs to shut up.
I just wonder if he used a TelePrompTer....
If by some miracle, the emails of the speech's drafts are kept by the Bureau of Covering Hussein's Ass, as required by law, we may someday know what the speech was meant to say.
Never expected it to be obviously bad. But I did expect better than a tiresome retelling of the Obama Narrative.
