Just in case you missed it.
Here is the recap:
Obama’s speech… uninspiring.
Despite the uncoordinated rah-rah, stand-up, sit-down liberal jumping jacks presented for their fearless leader, the messiah mask has fallen. Obama was revealed as the sad sales pitch man who’s next failure will be to champion the next place to stimulate, bailout invest more taxpayer debt.
Education related key words seemed to overwhelm the content of his speech. I got the message that Obama plans to implement the next bailout, stimulus, investment into public education. That is, towards the union of an already failing public education system.
Obama’s advertisement pitch was all about how he wanted to save our children, and bailout, stimulate, invest in their future by bloating up the education unions and regulating and already over-regulated system. (How clever since states are trimming the non essentials from their state budgets in their state’s education system as we speak.)
One suggestion Obama almost slipped into the speech unnoticed, was the plan send our children into the public system at an even younger age than we do now because other prosperous nations like China do it.
I know where this is going. Its already been done with the special needs community. The disability community has grown to accept that the public system is the only one who can provide essential support services thus preventing a national crisis for children born with disabilities.
From birth to age three, in the name of early education, families in the special education community rightfully receive state services in their home for any support service or need. Not that it is a bad thing, but the rest of America should be paying attention here!
The local elementary school takes over at age three and the families develop some good and some not so good relationships with the special education departments that can last a very long time. Which will be similar to how typical parents will be drawn into a similar scenario if their kids are drawn into the public education union system at age three or younger.
I totally understand how tempting this can be, because who wouldn’t love the public school taking care of your kiddo’s at an earlier age so you could pay a daycare less. Even if you are a homemaker, getting the much needed break of sending your kids for an eight hour school day is an idea that I have embraced at one time or another.
Not that it isn’t a good thing in theory. Making sure families are encouraged to educate their children at a younger age in order to give them an edge in learning is a great concept to consider, but the public system is not necessarily the expert in this area that they claim to be. The verifiable track record of the public education union system is about as good as the rest of the federal government.
However, the real reason obama hyped on an education stimulus, bailout, investment was because the education unions are depending on it. Obama’s State of the Education Union sales pitch will create a new bureaucracy with more money to fund more early education union jobs, ultimately to help Andy Stern cover his union bankrupting ways.
Even if the public retaliates by committing to homeschool, the liberals could care less. The taxes are still assessed, Stern still gets his taxpayer funded bailout regardless, and Obama gets the higher taxes he wants, all in the name of saving the children. They think it is a win-win for them.
There were other parts to obama’s speech, but nothing that was inspiring enough to harp on. The man has lost his touch, and the people know it.
Although, Paul Ryan’s response… AMAZING and presidential.
Bachmann’s response representing the Teaparty was surprisingly not aired live by Fox.
The biggest shock of the night, CNN was the only network to air the Teaparty response delivered by Representative Bachman live! WHOA, dead birds mean nothing to me. If this is not the sign of the apocalypse, I do not know what is!
It was interesting that Fox News misunderestimated underestimated the Teaparty much like the rest of the lame stream media. Very few people out there were even aware that a historical a third response was going to be offered after the State of the Education Union address. The drive by media failed to report that Representative Michelle Bachmann was going to do the Tea Party response.
She is not the leader of the Teaparty per se, but she does represent those values more than the rest of the leaders of this nation, and that is what the majority want to see and hear. Bachmann rose to that occasion beautifully.
Fox played the Luntz poll during her speech. Not that he isn’t important, but Bachman’s speech was historically important, and viewed by a large number of American’s on CNN who were actually angry at Fox’s actions.
Although, as I write this, Greta has conceded her show to air Bachmann’s speech in full. I guess Fox News heard their ratings hitting the floor. Whoever made that decision was not thinking with a full deck.
My prediction. Bailout’s for education unions post haste.
