![]() the truth from Tom Robinson: "Throughout the first term of Barack Obama’s presidency, the Far Right has waged an all-out war against him, fueled by much racial animus. There can be no debate that the darkest, most barbaric side of conservatism has controlled the way Republicans have framed their debate and challenged the President of this nation. This must be repeated: To most conservatives, Barack Obama is an aberration of history; a misstep that should have never been allowed to happen in a civilized society such as the United States of America, a nation that has built entire cities, towns and states on bigotry, racism and slavery. Much of the dialog amongst those of GOP persuasion has been that of how Barack Obama has to be something, anything else other than an American citizen, legally and fairly elected to the highest office of the land by a majority of the American people. There are still an alarming number, like Sheriff Joe Arpaio, devoting their entire lives to the “otherness” of Barack Obama, fully convinced in their heart of hearts that the increased melanin in his skin is the mark of a sinister, foreboding intent. And to an electorate filled with fear, embittered at the loss of their power, and driven mad by their obsession to reclaim their power, yea, their very societal and racial dominance, Barack Obama’s election is sacrilege; an intrusion into the sacred order that demands his complete and total political obliteration. And the very thought of his being reelected is one that fills them all with fearful, psychotic rage. ![]() |

President Obama on Saturday bashed Congressional Republicans for failing to prevent teacher layoffs made by cash-strapped state and local governments. In his weekly address Obama noted that education employment has fallen by 300,000 jobs since 2009. He pushed for Congress to help stem the job losses and called the Republican approach to education financing “backwards” and “wrong.” “The economic plan that almost every Republican in Congress voted for would make the situation even worse. It would actually cut funding for education — which means fewer kids in Head Start, fewer teachers in our classrooms and fewer college students with access to financial aid — all to pay for a massive new tax cut for millionaires and billionaires. |

We survived Bush. You will survive Obama.
Bill Maher talks about medical marijuana, his million dollar donation to the Obama campaign, and wonders why Paul Ryan is considered smarter than Sarah Palin noting: “Why is he the intellectual of the Republican Party? He has, from what I can see, two ideas. One, let’s stop having rich people pay taxes at all and poor people should look for food in the woods. This is the intellectual? He’s a step up from Sarah Palin?" |

headstart is kindergarten i do believe and if there is something wrong with giving kids a headstart please Jeshu enlighten us But the HeadStart program has never achieved anything. Children who go through the program show no improvement over kids who don't. And the reason is simple. Because HeadStart was put into place to overcome parents and peer groups who look down upon, or at least ignore, academic achievement, but HeadStart is not strong enough to jump that hurdle. Your family, and your peer group, defines you. And no program is powerful enough to overcome that. |
