Choo-Choo Ch'Boogie!

Too Kewl for Gruel
-Obama tells us to go to School-

...and then tells educated Americans to eat cake


After a brief glimpse of Obama’s address to Congress earlier this week, the only impressive note I can make on the president’s engaging, smooth delivery (as I had noted during the primaries here) is that the man could sell ice to Eskimos. Unlike a certain former leader with a penchant for stumbling over words and bleachers at the China Olympics, Obama deservedly scores points for his ability to read the teleprompter from L to R in such a sweeping fashion as to not look like he is actually reading it.

In her recent post entitled Obama Wants Us To Go To School, Economic blog diva journalist Elaine Meinel Supkis at Culture of Life News writes about Obama’s ominous statement during his address to Congress earlier this week that Americans should ALL go back to school! Ominous, in that he offered no explanation or suggestion as to what millions of us who hold degrees from the World’s finest universities in America should learn or how this would make greedy corporations start hiring Americans instead of cheap, imported workers. No, no, not only did he not elaborate on why the growing millions of unemployed educated Americans would go to school when many already hold advanced degrees, he also pledged to sell out more jobs to the third world.

With a flick of Let Them Eat Cake-ism and sheer disregard for American workers, Obama revealed without remorse his intention to put America’s workers out of high paying jobs -- or any jobs at all. Like some shady magician’s trick, is the buzzword “school” meant to lull the plebes into some false sense of security on their way to slaughter? Or did he reveal (wittingly or unwittingly) some stealth “industry of privately held educational enterprises” as Citizen Carrie describes in her post One World School Policies lurking in the tech lobby backed Obie plan that are designed to educate foreign labor on the American taxpayer’s dime?

Ominous, in that during Obama’s address, he pledged more military budget spending and also, most disturbing of all, trumpeted free trade during this economic depression, confirming his “declaration of war against American workers” which had Congress applauding wildly. Elaine explains:


“He disarmed all possible ways we could improve our basic industrial situation and made it clear to all the creditor nations who happen to be also the biggest export-profit centers, that we will do absolutely nothing to stop this. We will not protect ourselves. Period. Congress, being corrupt and in the pay of foreign powers, applauded this declaration of war against American workers.


With such blatant disregard for the citizens of this country, it would appear that the Neo-Frat Boy Fascist State of America, led by President Obama and his cronies have now officially declared war on America’s white collar middle class.

Obama also talked about “rebuilding” this country with “alternative energy systems”, but, as Elaine points out, this would be great if we – not imported workers from third world countries but our own citizens -- were the ones chartered to do the building:


“Putting up many alternative energy systems is a wonderful thing. But ONLY if we produce the energy systems we buy to install. This is where the rest of the world comes in: our trade rivals do not want us to build systems here, they want us to consume their imported systems. The Chinese and Japanese have been very intent on building solar energy factories, for example. Putting up many alternative energy systems is a wonderful thing. But ONLY if we produce the energy systems we buy to install. This is where the rest of the world comes in: our trade rivals do not want us to build systems here, they want us to consume their imported systems. The Chinese and Japanese have been very intent on building solar energy factories, for example.


This country’s underutilized, underemployed and unemployed smart Americans want to rebuild this nation’s corporate and civic infrastructures up and all he can tell them is “go to school” as he pledges to sell out their jobs to foreign workers?

Why does Obama not want to support white collar middle class citizens? He has signed up for the job of The Great Leveler. As evinced from his speech, our insulated and out of touch president, beholden to the Neo-Frat Boy, Have and Have-Not Society committed to the extermination of this country’s thriving middle class, apparently sees educated Americans in the same gruel lines as the peasants of third world countries, some who happen to be floating our debt.

Wasn't that a great post from Elaine? And what's really freaky is that the day before that post came out, I was thinking of how train stations used to be the central hubs of cities, and how all life seemed to emanate from train stations. Now, hardly anyone knows how to get to a passenger train station without printing out directions from Google Maps.

There are high hopes that some of the stimulus wampum will fund high speed rail service to Anaheim.

We'll always have Mickey Mouse...

Perhaps that's the ticket to urban renewal: every dilapidated city center in the U.S. can create a mini-micro mouse version of Mickey's Magic Kingdom within a stone's throw of the Amtrak stations.
