Whether you agree or disagree with the Obama administration’s handling of the country, I think it’s flat wrong to decide not to air a Presidential speech on the basis of it creating “a cult of personality” ( a direct quote from one of the Senators of one of the five state boycotting Obama’s speech). If that were the case, why have we been allowed and subject to endless ridiculous Republican Presidential speech every administration? All of a sudden because there are so many fear abiding, undercover racist, misinformed tea party mobsters, we now have to change how we’ve done things in the past. As a liberal, I’ve not ever boycotted a Presidential speech whether I agreed with the President or not. He’s the President so I let him (hopefully one day “her”) speak his peace and agree to disagree. It’s really quite scary how large the hypocrisy is getting in this country over this change. At least Obama predicted it and hopefully, not many supporters of change are loosing faith over the propoganda being poured out. We don’t really even have news anymore. We have ponderers. Today I saw a man with several bumper stickers on his big pick up truck that said “Throw the bums out” with a picture of the White House and “I’ll keep my money, you keep your change.” It made my blood boil. What money was getting taken from him? His taxes? Do we not want to pay taxes anymore? Or, a better question, do we not think we need to pay taxes anymore? If that’s the case, let’s just set all of you up on your little boats/rafts/etc and let you sail until you find your remote island so you can handle yours. The rest of us realize we live in a country with several communities that require our participation in order to make them work. For so long, we’ve been on the other end of the stick of most of these communities. We’ve had people work our communities and then go back to their far richer community and not give back to either the one they work in or the one they live in. If you use a resource, you have to pay for it.
Further, I’m boggled by most of these anti-healthcare protestors. I’m convinced most were dropped on their heads at some point. It’s common sense. Buy in bulk, cost goes down. All these people shop at Costco, Sam’s Club and Wal-mart on the regular so how come they don’t get that a larger healthcare option including reform will make costs go lower?
Lastly, the question that will loom until we’re through this web of YEARS OLD economic deception, where were all of you angry anti-everything people when they were spinning this shit?
God, I hope the rest of the world is watching. It’s hard to stay ignorant when there’s a spotlight on.
