Obama Congressional Speech Analysis: Our Schools are Terrible and It's Your Fault, not ours!

“Now, if we're honest with ourselves, we'll admit that for too long we have not always met these responsibilities, as a government or as a people. I say this not to lay blame or to look backwards, but because it is only by understanding how we arrived at this moment that we'll be able to lift ourselves out of this predicament.

The fact is, our economy did not fall into decline overnight. Nor did all of our problems begin when the housing market collapsed or the stock market sank.

We have known for decades that our survival depends on finding new sources of energy, yet we import more oil today than ever before.

The cost of health care eats up more and more of our savings each year, yet we keep delaying reform.

Our children will compete for jobs in a global economy that too many of our schools do not prepare them for.”


The first line made me laugh. He admits that the government isn’t doing its job, than blames the people for it. In other words it is like Obama is saying,

"You chose to vote in these Republicans and they increased spending and caused a huge massive defect with their wars. You should have voted in Democrats to increase spending and taxes causing a massive debt fighting our social wars."

It made me laugh, wasn't he a Junior Senator from Illinois? I guess he didn't think he could change things as a Senator, it is only a minor position, right? Isn't that what Junior means; a person with low rank or status compared with others. Than, he tries to explain this blame game away by saying it is so we can “understand how we arrived at this moment.” I though earlier he said, “You don't need to hear another list of statistics...” Isn’t this another statistic. Oh, I guess he meant not to list statistics that deal with his political parties motives and ideas.

He than gives us more statistics, our economy did not decline over night. He is absolutely correct, it began to decline in the 1990’s. Dot Com boom and bust anyone? The logical thing to do is blame the institution that caused this mess, the Federal Reserve, right?

Than, instead of confronting the institution that led to this crisis, he goes to social engineering, community organizer, "health care is to expensive and our schools are in decline so we need to socialize them" garbage. Our health care is... was the best in the world, until Nixon began to regulate it in the 1970's. HMO was the United States first socialization of medicine. It worked out great, our system is now second to the French!* The only logical solution is to give the people that wrecked health care more control, because that just makes sense. No one would ever to think to let doctors set their own prices and compete in the open market. No one would think to allow the pharmacutical companys to set their own prices. No, that would take lobbying out of medicine, and that would hurt the economy because it would take those jobs away – unless of course it is replaced by government jobs, than we should change it.

Education totals are also lies. Our schools are view to be equal to France and greater than Germany, Belgium, and other European Social Democracies.† I guess Germany needs to reorganize their education as well, they won’t be able to compete with those dirty Americans and French with their good high schools. Maybe he was thinking about colleges? American colleges consistently rank higher than French, German, Dutch, and other European colleges. The only competition is Cambridge in England (might I point out, it was establish a good many years before Harvard and Stanford, two school mainly competing for the number one spot on the college ranking sheets). Of the top ten univeristies, 8 are American (Harvard (1), Stanford (2), Cal Berkeley (3), MIT (5), CalTech (6), Columbia (7), Princeton (8), and University of Chicago (9)) of which 4 are private and 4 are public, and 2 are British public schools (Oxford (4) and Cambridge(10)). I guess we must assume that these two college represent the rest of the world and educate the rest of the world equally.ª

My Message to Our President

We the People have been watching,
After you have finished talking,
And waving to the people,
That might as be sheeple.
Yes we can permute.

And after the time is done,
And rhetoric opens from
The pain of lost complacency,
And the country will be angry.
Yes we can endure.

When public opinion falters
Will the face change alter,
Or will you be the Sumter
And face the enemy without slumber.
Yes we can live on.

Will you drive out the elite,
And take out the deceit.
Or will you an equivalent,
And increase their benevolence.
Yes we can struggle.

In the end, your oratory
Must be backed by activity.
Not leading the sheep away,
But through the straight and narrow way.
Yes we can resolve.

------------------------------------------------------------

You have one strike against you, Mr. President Obama.

You are destroying the lives of children by supporting and immoral and uncivil practice that will murder the lives of hundreds of children, everyday.

Not only in our country, but around the world.

Veto your own illegal legislation, on government sponsored abortions!

Barrack Obama isn't a Fascist.

Obama has been labeled a fascist incorrectly. Many Americans believe, after the strange youtube videos that have been popping up of an "Obama Youth" that he is the next Hitler.

I would have to argue that he isn't a Fascist. State Socialism (lets not forget that Hitlers political party was a State Socialist Party) emphasizes the state as supreme, even above all foreign powers. They view themselves as superiors in every way.

Why?

Simply because they are Germans, or they are Americans, or they are Spanish, or they are Italians. There is little rationale other than there ethnicity or state.

Obama is different.

He want's the nation to be proud that America is apart of the Global Community. Remember his speech in Germany. Obama is for Germany as much as he is for America. That is not Fascism. It is International Socialism, or Communism.

The only thing standing in his, and others like-minded, way is a few (possibly only one) Senators and Reps (And no: John McCain is not the Senator I am referring to).

The fact of the matter is, there is few choices. The Republicans have became increasingly Liberal, the Democrats have switch there position as a party so much that the people that have worked and founded it (Jefferson and Jackson among others) would be shocked by it.

I would have to say that Chuck Baldwin and Bob Barr are the best choices. I am voting for Chuck Baldwin.
