"...And remember, if you see dirty underwear lying on the floor, pick it up and put it in the hamper. Your wife or mother will greatly appreciate it."

(Wild Applause)

"...and another thing, there are coasters placed on end tables for a reason. When you bring a drink into the living room to watch some TV, put your glass on top of them!"

(Standing ovation)

Too funny.

These people who are roaring with approval at Obama's words don't even realize that they are being criticized by him and being made to be an example of “poor parenting.” He pointed out that in his opinion these very people are clueless about raising their children. Their kids have no respect, they are sloppy and without couth, so Obama had to tell them what rules to enforce at home. Obviously Obama feels those parents in the audience don’t take responsibility for their child’s behavior or making sure their kids keep things clean, study, go to bed on time, etc. They even have to be told to tell their kids to wash their hands! The irony of this is astounding!

What kind of dumbos don't already know these things about raising their children? According to Obama, it is the people in his audiences - the very people he wants to vote for him. The very people who are too inept at being parents, are capable of making decisions regarding his ability to be a president? What a frightful revelation Obama has made about these people and his true thoughts about them. If Obama feels he has to give them instructions and advice about raising children and disciplining them, how can he feel they are able to handle decisions about the direction of this country? They can’t even handle decisions about their on their children without being "educated" by Obama.

After his speech I just bet these same people went home, turned on the TV, let their dirty laundry lay around in heaps, had beer bottles or drugs sitting around, let their children run wild and go out until late at night, and will argue with the school when their child is disciplined. These same people will complain when their kid ends up in jail and blame someone else for their plight. They will not change one bit because Obama talked to them, and made them sit through a lecture on basic skills. They clapped because it is Obama, not that they have any inkling of a desire to do anything about their own faults and failings, those things that he so obviously has made them a target for public ridicule.

Oh, sure, they will blindly vote for him, because he excited them for a moment, but they have no idea what an election is all about and the seriousness of what is at stake. He has played to their basic ignorance and dumbed-them down even more. He has focused the eyes of the country on the need for these people to be responsible for themselves and their kids, because he believes they are not. That is really PC, isn’t it?

If McCain had said those same things to the same audience, he would have been booed and criticized by the liberals and the media from Maine to California. But Obama got away with it because he is black, period. He has stooped to this “preaching” low in his speech for these audiences because he obviously believes they cannot focus on or comprehend speeches about important national issues - so he has to tell them to be sure to tell their kids to wash their hands. That they understand. That they need, because it is obvious, according to Obama’s lecture, that he feels they have no capability to understand anything complex. So Obama chose to talk to them about simple, common-sense parental behavior. Maybe next time he will bring in a-b-c blocks?

These audiences, who cheer Obama instructing them in the basic principles of life don’t even realize how he has disrespected them by making it publicly known he thinks they have been totally un-successful as adults and parents.

Is he running a political campaign so he can run the country, or going to spend time in the White House dealing with family counseling for the masses who have no capability to run their own homes?
