guest writer: steamroller on the Obama agenda
Comments by steamroller in italics
President Barack Obama is telling the nation’s schoolchildren he “expects great things from each of you.” Just as he expects great things from all of you – - all, that is except GOVERNMENT – We have learned to expect nothing but rhetoric and taxes until they want your vote for re-election
telling them to stay in school and work hard ’cause that’s the right message to send.” Not to be confused with the “right thing for the people” because staying in school and working hard will not be rewarded, because government penalizes success but rewards failure.
inspire kids to stay in school, to work hard Obviously this is the next workforce to support government - so they will need you
set goals and work hard to achieve them. Government will, however, have the power to reset ‘your goals to their goals’ and require your effort
“being successful is hard” We, in government, do not necessarily equate success as your success, but we will make it as “hard” as we can
increasingly competitive global economy Competition is frowned upon, because government hates it and wants “mandates” to level the field
nothing less than the future of this country Since when has government ever been concerned about “the future”??? NOW is what it is!
whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges With a corrupt government AS our greatest challenge, the question is “WHETHER OR NOT”
proposed lesson plans distributed to accompany the speech Lesson plans also include the politically correct answer sheet – graded on the curve!
how students can help him meet education goals It used to be “student’s goals. now it is Obama’s Goals via HIS RADICAL AGENDA
Obama spent a good deal of his time extolling the virtues of the union movement. What else do you expect from corrupt bed-partners? Criticism?
paid leave, minimum wage and Social Security “all bear the union label,” as he appealed to organized labor to help him win the health care fight in Congress. Paid Leave is very competitive and efficient, too! Minimum Wage has yet to alleviate any injustice, but it has hurt the less educated and the poor! Social Security is also a “ROARING SUCCESS” since they have spent the trust fund-replacing the cash with IOU’S, and robbing the people by inflation!
even if you’re not a union member, every American owes something to America’s labor movement YESSIR!!! I owe more on my union made car that was planned to be obsolete, and I owe the high cost of goods made by unions who want their ‘just desserts’, and I owe, I owe, O how I Owe!
“We have never had this broad an agreement on what needs to be done.” He accused vested interests of trying to thwart it What needs to be done is apparent and obvious to most AMERICANS, and that is to LET US DECIDE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE -WE DON’T NEED ELITISTS!!!!!
some key items such as legislation making it easier for people to join unions has languished in Congress. CONGRESS WAS PROBABLY WAITING FOR AN ELECTION YEAR FOR THIS ONE!
Obama chose the Labor Day union picnic as the backdrop to announce his selection of Ron Bloom as senior counselor for manufacturing policy. Bloom, a Harvard Business School graduate, previously advised the United Steelworkers union, and will lead policy development and planning work to revitalize U.S. manufacturing, the White House said. Just Imagine! A Harvard Grad who was a union advisor “…leading policy developement and planning manufacturing”!!! And choosing Labor Day is just pure planning per performer’s pleasure pillaging from people’s pants pockets!!!
Steamroller cannot contain his putrifying disgust at the sorry, silly, simple, slick, Socialist System, so stuffed with sweet sounding syrupy stupifying slogans signifying strange stinking surprises, surpassing swindlers and scoundrels striving steps seeking shrewd, sharp, swallowing scandalous seeds of scum so severe., and so self-serving, sickening citizens so slow to suspect subterf

To their credit, some (maybe even most) republicans didn’t assume Obama wanted to brain wash their children. They knew that the president wouldn’t try to sell the kids on universal health care or his tax plans. They trusted the president. People like
LAURA BUSH: “There’s a place for the president of the United States to talk to schoolchildren and encourage schoolchildren”
NEWT GINGRICH: “It is good for the president of the United States say to young people across america to stay in school.”
AND
(R) Sen. LAMAR ALEXANDER: “The president of the United States should be able to address students.”
(Lamar Alexander was also the Education Secretary who in encouraged George H W Bush to give a similar speech in 1991.)
But you can’t trust everybody. Some people assumed that the president would use this speech to KIDS to promote his political agenda. I can’t imagine something that VILE and DISGUSTING. But RONALD REAGAN could.
He gave speech to school CHILDREN in 1988. He told them to stay school and work hard and…that liberal ideas on taxation BREAK THE WORKING MAN’S SPIRIT. He told KIDS that taxation was “such a penalty on people that there’s no incentive for them to prosper … because they have to give so much to the government.”
INDOCTRINATION. BRAIN WASHING. RONALD REAGAN. OH NO.

Okay, so what is the answer?

I have never seen so much made of a speech encouraging our students to pursue their education. If President Bush had made this speech, it would have been shown to all students without anyone condemning it. But, let President Obama, or someone not in your wing of the party do it and all Hell breaks loose. To call this “socialism” is almost beyond belief.
The answer to our nation’s problems may not be having the democrats in power, but it certainly wasn’t having republicans control state and federal government. And, it certainly isn’t the continual sabotage of anything the other party supports and constant name calling and rabble rousing. A good number of us are tired of the same old tactics. Wishing the other party fails, when the task is governing our country, is the opposite of patriotism.
