Our horrid and communist president took to the podium in Osawatomie, Kansas yesterday to try and convince the American people and those in this local high school that a payroll tax should be continued with the help of taxation on the rich. In a week the American people won't have a clue as to what he said. Let's face it and I want you to be honest with your answer. Obama compared his policies with those of Theodore Roosevelt. First question, ah heck, no question from me. I'll just tell you. Virtually none of you(and don't take this as a slam)know anything about TR. He did save the day at San Juan Hill--or is it a rumor? Where was San Juan Hill? What was the significance? When did TR become president? Who did he succeed and what were the circumstances? What political party did he represent in 1912? Aha! This is the one Obama compared himself to in his speech. Well, Roosevelt was a Progressive; the same type of pregressives as we have today. He believed corporations should play by the rules. TR and Obama wanted the government to take care of the people. Know what comparison I want to see happen with the presidential election of 1912 and 2012? TR had his ass handed to him in that election; the one where Obama tried to compare himself to Theodore Roosevelt yesterday. Nobody cared about his TR's socialist hair brained policies then and I'm sure no one cares now except for the lazy, don't want to work entitlement crowd and the knotty pined college prof pinheads and Hollywood snobs. Why is that? Well, because some think he's a nice guy, or others think he looks cute with his sport coat and no tie and they just love it when he catapaults himself up onto a stage to begin reading off his teleprompter.
Let me relate a story of how really clueless the American people are when it comes to speeches and politicians and history. Allow me, if you will, to set the scene: It was 1984 and I was teaching Advanced Placement American History at Rock Island Alleman High School in Illinos. My classroom door was open and two of my favorite kids and football players were walking down the hallway and by my classroom door. One was Kevin Gorgal and the other Steve Kirik. So, I yelled at them as they went by: "Hey, what are you two yahoo's doing out of class"? I said it a not so gruff voice. They told me their history teacher, Mr. Murphy, had asked them to run an errand. I then said, and they had walked into the classroom by then, "What have you guys learned this year"? You have to understand Murphy was most interested in coaching baseball. He always started his teaching year in September with the Civil War because he said "nothing interesting in American History happened before then". Seriously, he said that. Anyway, I asked Gorgal to name one thing they had learned that school year. He immediately came back with, "we're studying about the Roosevelt brothers right now'. I kid you not. This teacher was telling students that Franklin and Teddy were brothers. And we sometimes wonder why our kids have SATs of 300.
The point here is, the American people don't give a hoot about Obama's 'New New Nationalism' speech. Most of the people at the school weren't paying close attention to every word that came out of his mouth. The high school students in attendance were thinking about a basketball game, or a date or Mary Lou's nice body or an ugly pimple on their nose. The parents at the speech might have comprehended one word of what our communist commander said. It's not that they're ignorant. They most likely had their minds on last night's TV specials or what to buy at the grocery score after this nonsense thing has concluded. Besides, this is hardcore Republican country. Obama won't get a vote in this town.
I know when I go to Mass on Sundays' my heartfelt attempt is to show complete respect and attention to God and Jesus Christ. I want to be diligent in reading the scriptures. I want to sing the songs at communion time but after, oh, thirty seconds or so, I'm off into 'no attention span land'. I'll think of something I have to do that day or some game I want to watch or there happens to be an unbelievably neat female distraction one row in front of me and just to my left.
If you did a 'man on the street' you would find out that most Americans know that Obama is president. They don't know the vice-president or any of the candidates running in the Republican Party. They'd laugh out loud, give an answer in the form of a question then say, "am I right"? People don't care---period.
So, it makes no difference what was said in Kansas yesterday. Trust me, in a week no one will remember. And if you think I'm wrong ask yourself right now, what was the name of his speech and name the town"?
NOW USING A VERY LOUD VOICE: "OUR CLASS WARFARE PRESIDENT SAYS THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO TAX MORE AND GET INVOLVED IN YOUR LIVES MORE. FOLKS, WE'RE IN BIG, BIG TROUBLE IF THIS ADMINISTRATION IS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE UNCHALLENGED. IT'S A MARXIST PHILOSOPHY CALLING FOR MARXIST IMPLEMENTATION OF GOVERNMENT".
