Since 2008 – Progress Through Politics

Open Thread: It Was Just Like They Said It Would Be

And it was horrible.

A nightmare. A hit job. A communist manifesto for the new age.

Folks, Rush and the others were right. Today our “president” (if you can rightfully call an unsettlingly BROWN Kenyan usurper “president” of these great white United States) wreaked unimaginable havoc on the minds of our young people. He stood before the best and brightest our great nation has to offer and shat all over our ideals. The tyrant defecated violently all over the Founding Fathers and everything this country has traditionally held dear. Every word oozed socialism and revolution. His every breath stank of the rotting corpse of Karl Marx. The mad ravings of Adolph Hitler rang out through the silence at Obama’s every sinister pause.  

Here’s a clip for those of you who missed it. Watch it and see for yourselves. I’ve no doubt you’ll reach the same horrifying conclusions I have.

This day was a victory for every vile and wicked thing lurking within this country — for queers and coloreds and socialists and fascists and child pornographers and New Yorkers. Shame on every parent who flippantly, carelessly let his or her child attend school today. They know not what they have done — but they will when their children begin selling their bodies to help pay for their overpriced, snobby hybrid automobiles.

Now, at GREAT personal risk, I’ve managed to obtain the official prepared remarks from Obama’s propaganda center whitehouse.gov. Let’s look at them in greater depth, shall we?

Hello everyone – how’s everybody doing today?

Oh, how dare you, you sick… KEEP YOUR GRUBBY COMMIE HANDS OFF MY GUNS!

When I was young, my family lived in Indonesia for a few years…

FOREIGNER, he admits it! Impeach!

But whenever I’d complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and say, “This is no picnic for me either, buster.”

“Buster”?? See! He’s introducing that disgraceful hood talk to our kids!

But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the world – and none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities. Unless you show up to those schools; pay attention to those teachers; listen to your parents, grandparents and other adults; and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.

Why…why you… Everyone knows that schools are havens for libruls and defectors. The LAST thing we want is kids showing up for school and paying attention!

Every single one of you has something you’re good at. Every single one of you has something to offer.

Translation: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need…”

You’ll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS…

AIDS apologist! We don’t want AIDS cured, you fascist — AIDS was sent by god to purify this nation and purge it of its sinners!

…and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment.

Pot-smokin’ hippy tree-hugger…

You’ll need the insights and critical thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free.

We don’t need to fight poverty. Those broke indigents just need to get jobs. Crime only happens because of minorities and queers, and no amount of liberal education is going to get rid of THEM.

You’ll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.

Don’t encourage creativity, you sick f***! Free thinking leads people away from GAWD.

We need every single one of you to develop your talents, skills and intellect so you can help solve our most difficult problems. If you don’t do that – if you quit on school – you’re not just quitting on yourself, you’re quitting on your country.

What do YOU know about QUITTING, tarlung?!?!

So I wasn’t always as focused as I should have been. I did some things I’m not proud of, and got in more trouble than I should have. And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse.

Things you’re not proud of? Like sitting in an America-hating, whitey-bashing church for 20 years and not realizing it?!?

Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas. Jazmin didn’t speak English when she first started school.

Illegal alien! Sick ‘er!

I’m thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California,

Sounds suspiciously like a minority.

And then there’s Shantell Steve, from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois.

Also sounds pretty ethnic…

Jazmin, Andoni and Shantell aren’t any different from any of you.

Aren’t any different?! Listen at how brown they sound! Where are Mary, Steve, and John?!

They faced challenges in their lives just like you do. But they refused to give up. They chose to take responsibility for their education and set goals for themselves. And I expect all of you to do the same.

Translation: Emulate brown people, and when the revolution comes you may be spared.

That’s OK.  Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures. JK Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was rejected twelve times before it was finally published.

Oh christ, now he’s promoting witchcraft TOO???

Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career.

Another black guy. Surprise.

The story of America isn’t about people who quit when things got tough. It’s about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.

Like this guy could ever truly understand the story of America. Stop killing babies!

It’s the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and found this nation. Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war; who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon. Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google, Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.

World War? I KNEW he’d get to Hitler eventually… There’s some subliminal messaging going on here somewhere…

So today, I want to ask you, what’s your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a president who comes here in twenty or fifty or one hundred years say about what all of you did for this country?  

This reeks of Marxist ideology. I’m going to vomit.

Your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the educatio
n you need to answer these questions. I’m working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books, equipment and computers you need to learn. But you’ve got to do your part too. So I expect you to get serious this year. I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. I expect great things from each of you. So don’t let us down – don’t let your family or your country or yourself down. Make us all proud. I know you can do it.

I don’t even have words for how sick this statement is.

Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.

Yeahhhhhhh, riiiiiiiiiight.

Ladies and gentlemen, I put it to you — are our children doomed, or what?

On a more serious note, I truly am disgusted right now. That RWers could turn this wonderful, inspiring speech into something sinister and dangerous truly does sicken me. I’m tired of it. I’m tired of people twisting the message and getting away with it. I’m tired of the insanity. And it’s the kids who suffer. I grew up in a conservative household, and to be honest, I’m not certain whether I’d have been allowed to watch the speech or not. And that sucks. It’s not fair to the kids who have open minds and open hearts, and these parents who deprived their children of the opportunity to listen to a heartfelt, uplifting message from our president ought be ashamed. Asshats.

  1. during lunchtimes over the next week. As if anyone is going to be paying attention then. I suppose some poli-sci classes and social studies classes might use it as a teaching tool.

    We watched it live.  No problems, no kids opted out.  No parents in there hawkishly making sure their children were not being brainwashed.  Then again this school is in the strongest democratic area in this city.  As well, a large majority of the students have parents that are professionals, lawyers, therapists, college professors.  Overall the school tends to lean liberal. I know this because I live two blocks away and it is where my precinct votes.

    Of course it is a rather white school with probably on two or three African American students and a few Asians and a handful of Hispanics.   The one Afro American boy is like Obama, mixed race.  I had him last year.  He’s a really bright kid.  He told me today he was “inspired” by what he heard.

    A few teachers in the lounge were whining about how it was good but they were sure he changed it because liberal NBC had the original speech (which apparently was going to brainwash them to be socialists) on their site.  I just said, “I hardly saw NBC as liberal…”  But the looks they gave me told me I had better shut up if I want to keep subbing there.

    Schools sent out permission slips to parents, Pinellas County offered excused absences to students and some schools just flat out refused to show President Barack Obama’s speech. After all the hype, I am left wondering just what it was all about.

    The speech had no socialist agenda and only the best of intentions: getting students to realize that the circumstances of their life are no excuse for not trying in school.

    Liz Nordlinger, 18, Lakewood senior

    Does brainwashing include telling students that, “every single one of you has something you’re good at?” If it does, then every child in this world has been brainwashed by their parents and will continue to be for the rest of their lives.

    His speech talks to the students on a personal basis, and the country should be proud that we have a competent President who can talk to students without making mistakes and sounding like an idiot.

    Do people who think that the President is corrupting students’ minds think that living in Indonesia is the end of the world? If they do, then I guess they do have a reason to complain. Should our country never grow and evolve and learn to adapt to different colored presidents and new ideas? Our country wouldn’t be where it is today if that had never happened in our history. People would still be riding in horse drawn carriages, owning slaves, and dying from every disease that enters the country including smallpox. People need to get over their dumb nonsense and realize yes, we do have a black president, yes, he is going to be in office for three and a half more years, and yes, he is smart, nice, handsome, and will help our country recover.

    Reading President Obama’s speech, I couldn’t help but see my dads face in my mind – his wrinkled brow, and stern expression when he talks about my education; going off into the “When I was your age I walked seven miles…” lecture. The president’s address to the students was very sincere when saying he wanted the best for the younger generations of his country. He did not say it would be easy, or fun, but he was honest. He was honest when saying we as students can only succeed when we try, he was honest when saying that we will have failures, and honest when saying our generation can not quit. My favorite part about the speech was that he put it on us, the students, to make his dream of education a reality, calling it our responsibility.

    Obama made my education feel more important, that I mattered. As much as I hate studying for the SAT, I’ll do it. As much as I want to pull my hair out and hide in my closet when my mom comes at me with a list of college applications, I’ll finish them. Then Obama, like any father, ended with some encouraging words, “I know you can do it,” almost like a pat on the back, or that half smile I get from my dad when he’s proud of me.

    And, my personal favorite.

    Justin Jones, 16, Chamberlain senior

    Obama’s speech was just dripping with socialist values, especially when he told kids “I hope you’ll all wash your hands a lot, and stay home from school when you don’t feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.”

    Oh, and the part about students setting goals for their education and asking for help when they worry they won’t succeed? He is stealing the words right out of Karl Marx’s mouth.

    Parents are accusing President Barack Obama of spreading socialist propaganda to the youth of the nation, terrified by the assumption that Obama might be corrupting their children with his political views.

    Honestly, is it that bad to tell kids to try their hardest and to never give up in school, or in life?

    This is a speech that should be heard by the youth of America. It has nothing but golden advice for children, giving them anecdotes of people in low places overcoming their obstacles, and making the best for themselves.

    The main message – don’t give up. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

    In these hard times, there is no better advice that the president could give to children. Unless, of course, he tells them they better share all the profits they get from that lemonade.

    a million years ago I read a paper by George Foster, an anthropologist at UC, who wrote something called Anatomy of Envy.  The premise is that envy keeps people together as a group, and allows competition only between ‘equals.’  

    I run into this as a girl, too frequently. Some fellow can make a comment that is ‘allowed,’ while if I were to say something similar, the example is a compliment or some acknowledgment of achievement, it doesn’t carry the same weight. If you’re not in the ‘club,’ a compliment can be perceived as a put-down, in how dare she have the right to speak to me of this or that.  

    This is I think what is happening around this issue, which is bigger than I expected, i would have thought that school principles would accept all the help they could in getting kids to take their educations seriously, but, seems not.  Someone they thought had the right to give them advice would likely be fine, but doesn’t matter that Barack is our president, he hasn’t the right to tell kids to stay in school and study.  From an ‘outsider,’ one not in the ‘club,’ that’s, well, uppity. Go figure.

    Jean Schmidt is either a Birther or she just lied to a constituent.

    Methinks it’s the former by her and her staff’s behavior.

    The Arlington Independent School District, which passed on airing President Barack Obama’s live classroom address, has announced that some students will be bussed off campus to hear a message from former President George W. Bush on Sept. 21.

    My BFF who lives in Austin reminds me frequently that 43% of Texans voted for Obama.  I am trying not to stereotype, but stories like this make it hard for me to be nice.
