Jammie Wearing Fool comments on the lack of critical questions for Obama during his stop…
Regarding that campaign stop, after Barry O talked about how seizing control of the healthcare system in this country was the single most important thing that needed to be addressed or else western civilization would cease to exist, using the same rhetoric and words that he used previously when talking about financial institutions, the automakers, and the housing market, just before he seized control of them also, he opened it up for questions from the crowd. He assured us that the people were not pre screened or pre selected, so I want to know why was it that all those who opposed his plan were on the outside?
There was the local teachers union member who did not have a question about healthcare at all, but rather used his opportunity to blast the No Child Left Behind policy and the unfairness of testing.
There was the guy who asked for a note for his daughter for school.
There was a woman who was a big fan of going to a single payer system.
There was NOT a single dissenting opinion or question, either from the people in attendance or the media.
Everyone must agree with him, except for the few misguided souls carrying signs, no other possible explanation.
Which brings me back to the lyrics from I.G.Y.
Standing tough under stars and stripes
We can tell
This dream’s in sight
You’ve got to admit it
At this point in time that it’s clear
The future looks bright
On that train all graphite and glitter
Undersea by rail
Ninety minutes from New York to Paris
Well by seventy-six we’ll be A.O.K.What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free…
Yea, right.
