...choir. How about asking Bill Cosby to be his spokesman for personal responsibility?
...Mr. Obama.... first, go ask the Mayor of washington D.C., about his love of vouchers.
Then, go look at where your own kids, and most of the congressmen and your employees, send THEIR children (god no! We'd NEVER ask them to go where we advocate OTHERS go!).
THEN, go ask yourself why, when it is completely possible, you stymy the progressive results of a voucher system, already proven in the one place where fed ed essentially operates an education system, completely overpriced and under-producing i.e. Washington DC.
Ye sfolks, the pigs indeed now dress as the farmer.
Physician, heal thyself.
'the pigs indeed now dress as the farmer.'
SP play acts at everything, because he has absolutely no sense of reality.
'stymy'
Stymy? Of come on EssPee, invest in a dictionary, OR use a spell check, IF you know what one is and your truck stop momma can take time out from her 'endeavors' to show you how to use it.
..if you're a boring, white trash twentysomething, who has not a single meaningful thing to say on the topic. Run now and retreat into your spellcheck....
Odd, in that some of the most poorly educated children in America are white, living in rural Appalachia, the President seemly focusing on predominantly urban peoples. Rural Hispanics are terribly disadvantaged as well, not having nearly the opportunities urban minorities are afforded. American Indians suffer from a lack of proper educational resources as well. I am wondering who the president expects to advocate for them?
'you're a boring, white trash twentysomething, who has not a single meaningful thing to say on the topic. Run now and retreat into your spellcheck'
By the way, Oh, Illiterate one, twenty something is two words. So is spell check. Got any more ignorance and stupidity that you want to share on this thread? I know you have lots, because you are more than a little full of it, but do you have anything pertinent to the topic? No? I thought not.
'Of come on EssPee, invest in a dictionary, OR use a spell check'
How can one not chuckle at this?
It would be nice to have a better schooling system for all,be it white Appalachian kids,latino's,etc.Education is a task best performed by a strong decent government,well funded and with a wide availability for all,free from kindergarten until university,with bonuses for the fiscally disadvantaged .It is after all a right written in the universal declaration of rights.
...in that we happen to have a set of rights also, declared and passed by our legislative body and the current occupant of the white house see's fit to appoint a supreme court judge who ,plainly, denied workers the right to fair advancement on the basis that the (public)corporate entity in charge had the supposed universal right to simply nullify the test after it was given, to avoid a legal nexus or whatever whim came to their collective minds. Thank god five judges overturned it. (in her case six more times)
Obama's criteria, by his own words, rejecting Justice roberts was that he '...did not use his knoweledge of the law....to help the...citizen...(paraphrase)...' This being his excuse, he then proceeds to send up a candidate who failed to do exactly that. Roberts by comparision, has in his opiions, reinforced the 2nd amendment, the fourth amendment and the 11th, consistantly siding with citizens rights.
Small wonder that, in education, the same president wishes to perpetuate the failed single provider (you know Tonny...single provider?) system for the public while he sends his children to safe, secure and superior PRIVATE facilities, after promising to do exactly the opposite in mouthing the words 'whatever works'.
Once again, Tonny, the pig now dresses as the farmer. Your seeing, Tonny, that rights need to be protected and this president is zero for four.
golly Bammer...just come to Kalifornia and see how they do it...current ranking 49 out of 50 states....all you need to do is keep throwing money at it and presto...you will rank last in the world...Bammer, you need to look at the family unit..that is the key...a huge majority of blacks in the usa do not have a family unit...but then, the family unit kind of goes against your philosophy of Marxism....where all the children are property of the state....Pipe dream my friend...pure pipe dream...
A 'much better' education has existed for blacks since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (incidentally, which Democrats opposed). But it is the African American community ironically, which stands in the way of this education by calling those who take advantage of it 'Uncle Tom'.
If I'd known it would have been this much trouble, I would've picked the cotton myself.
Actually, previous poster, it's 'if I'd known things would turn out like this, I'd have picked the cotton myself.' Rather racist, but that's the phrase. As for Barry's comments, I just finished reading 'The Bell Curve.' Equality of opportunity is great. It does not guarantee equality of outcome.
...we certainly do not hear that enough. Having said that, this president is working right out of the libnazi playbook, pimping tot he Fed Unions, NEA, etc., for single payer (you know Tonny, single payer) educational system while, in typical liberal fashion, canvasing the nation bellyaching about better education for whatever minority he is pandering to at the moment.
I'm afraid this is what you're going to get for at least the next four years. Mediocrity Tim is so valuable to liberals because, like Obama found out in Chicago,( a place no one ever seems to measure his results by) it's so easy to generate what they want to call a success.
Are you afraid that the minorities will be better educated than you? That's not hard to do. Grade one is till the best years of your life. Are you afraid of Grade 2, EssPee? Too hard? Too challenging? Or is it the fact that a brain is needed? We know you killed yours off with years of drug abuse.
...if you want to opine on the subject at hand, be my guest and impress us with your own education.
Do the typical neocon/GOP dance. Avoid the questions and come back with a non sequitur. You must have taken ballet lessons, the way you toe-tap around things. How are things in the unemployment lines today, EssPee? Or are you still trying to lie your way onto the Welfare rolls?

SP4 - Really - how so?
Avoid the questions and come back with a non sequitur.
SP4 - what questions - about my education, color, race, drug use? What does any of that have to do with the aritcle above.
You must have taken ballet lessons,
SP4 - ??? Ballet???
the way you toe-tap around things.
SP4 - really - how so? The above posts are pretty damn plain, monkey boy (12) go back and inform yourself.
How are things in the unemployment lines today, EssPee?
SP4 - pretty damn bad, if you bothered to read anything meaningful, and you should ask the current occupant of the white house why his stimulus is not helping.
Or are you still trying to lie your way onto the Welfare rolls?
SP4 - No, monkey boy, your two mommies are doing that for us all....god, I should be so lucky, but I'm afflicted with this disease called integrity.
Please, Monkey boy, tell us this isn' the only thing you have, these empty accusations....I'm doubtful but I have this weakness in believing in people...
'but I'm afflicted with this disease called integrity.'
LOL ROFLMAO!
Integrity? You, EssPee? You must have really hit the Paraquat-soaked Mexican brick weed if you've come up with that particular little fantasy.
You are still avoiding the questions. But that is to be expected, as you've been avoiding life and responsibility by existing in a drug induced haze.
The only disease you have is mental.
