It's a mistake. It's a colossal mistake, and you know, we've seen this happen before, Alan. We've seen a hopeful presidency, Lyndon Johnson's presidency, burn up in the furnace of war. I fear that this brilliant young man, this hopeful new administration could easily burn their prospects of a great presidency in the war in Afghanistan or elsewhere.
Brilliant young man? I guess you could say that. He allowed himself to be made and placed where he is, managing to cut loose those he's done using (and they seemingly stick around hoping that he'll let them once again press their lips against his rear cheeks), while still attracting sycophants who some how fail to see that they too will end up under the bus (Rahm, I think you're gone, you just don't know it yet). But the real brains are the sickos that got this cypher into the White House.
Hopeful new administration? Well, he is the Great White Hope of American Socialism, and if the opposition doesn't start acting seriously, instead of a bunch of fucking sissies, we could be screwed a lot worse than this douche has screwed us in his first crappy month in office.
But is Billy really miffed? Is this a genuine lovers quarrel, or a feint? With signals pointing to the ending of the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship program, which allows 2000 underprivileged kids to get out of the rotting D.C. public schools and attend private schools, at the end of this fiscal year, I can't help but think that Billy Boy wants these kids back in public schools so they too can become prized cogs in his "engine of revolution." The Douculus Bill stipulates that any new funding for the program must be passed in separate legislation, not a rider. Since the Democrap Party hates school vouchers it's quite possible that his program will go down the tubes.
Should the public school system be sacrificed on the altar of vouchers? I think it should be fixed, if that's possible. But why should 2000 kids, whose other option is shit, have their futures mortgaged by these same assholes who have just driven them into taxation servitude...without representation? Why must it be either or? Because too many people are too fucking obtuse to think otherwise.
Here's what the kids have to say about it:
I remember the days when I thought that redeeming the Democrap Party was an effort worth attempting, provided Pampers lost big. They can just go fuck themselves, along with the Republicans who brought us warrantless wire tapping.

I have been saying that for some time now. I am supporting my local Republican Party because on a local level they get it and the Democraps really don't get it....look at who our governor is....Ass-kissing Sebelius! Oh Yeah! She really had her lips on Obambi's ass cheeks! No more labels they need to go. We need to vote for the people who might possibly really be our voice in DC,,,,those who aren't there now!
Evenin' Shtuey and Navy...
Billy boy MIFFED? !! Oh... I "hope" so. I really hope so. The guy should have been "miffed" way back when he was trying to kill people with his bombs.
I didn't know about this program to allow DC kids to get into private schools. Our public school system is so very broken in most places that I cannot begrudge them an opportunity to be someplace where they can thrive, not just survive.
I wonder though... why don't other cities have the same type of program? Aren't all kids worthy of this type of opportunity?
he said he shouldn't have listed sirhan sirhan as one to whom he dedicated his manifesto.
see? he IS a REPENTANT terrorist.
good boy. down boy.
Obiteme has a Socio-Capitalism agenda. People get fooled because they want him to take a stand, choose sides. Not his style. He wants to take a little from everybody and give a little bit to everybody else. Remember, he's all political science theory, no practice.
He wants to keep vouchers, charters, everything, but close the worst ghetto schools and replace them with military ones, run by various branches. The under performing discipline problem kids get yanked and institutionalized in modern day "reform schools" outside the public school system, i.e. quasi-prisons-in-training. These are not the military schools, they're separate. The rest, adequately funded by financially stable district, become the bulk of the "public" school system.
Same with "mixed income housing." Tear down housing projects, replace them with new, gentrified complexes divided into 3-tired residency. 1/3 government subsidized, 1/3 middle income, 1/3 "wealthy." In theory, no distinction will be made between the groups other than rate of payment. However, no provisions have been made for the bulk of the displaced housing project residents for whom no space is available. We'll see how that works out. Both models have problems in the cities, like Chicago, where they've been implemented. Chicago already has at least 6 military high schools, at least one per branch, adapted from Colin Powell's JROTC model.

It's all in the service of crashing those gates. Consider the new alliance of MoveOn.org, firedoglake.com, Service Employees International Union, DailyKos.com, and etc. in a PAC called ACCOUNTABILITY NOW - very telling considering their actions during the past primary season (i.e., rigging them for Obama).
