A Patriotic Response To The "Clown Prince;" 10/08/2011

Next week, the Senate will vote on the American Jobs Act. It’s a bill that will put more people to work and put more money in the pockets of working Americans. And it will provide our economy with the jolt that it really needs right now. This is not the time for the usual games or political gridlock in Washington. The challenges facing financial markets around the world could have very real effects on our own economy at a time when it’s already fragile. But this jobs bill can help guard against another downturn here in America. This isn’t just my belief. This is what independent economists have said. Not just politicians. Not just people in my administration. Independent experts who do this for a living have said that this jobs bill will have a significant effect for our economy and middle-class families all across America. But if we don’t act, the opposite will be true – there will be fewer jobs and weaker growth.
[What I'm not telling you: Thank Allah!! The upcoming vote WILL NOT be on the Louie Gohmert 'American Jobs Act' bill!! Representative Gohmert's bill would actually put Americans back to work without increasing the debt load on the U.S. Taxpayer; Allah knows, we can't have that. Political gridlock in America is the only 'saving grace' the citizen has at the moment! Without said gridlock, we'd be looking at a "Greece-like" economy and the resultant upheaval. The ZERO-bama 'American Jobs Act' is nothing more than yet another, thinly veiled PORKulus bill aimed at continued pay-offs to my supporters and contributors: the labor, service and teachers unions!! To distinguish between the two bills, let's call my bill the "American Jobs PORKulus Act," as opposed to Representative Gohmert's 'American Jobs Act.'
Those 'independent experts' to whom I refer have been truthful, at least this once: The "....PORKulus Act" 'will have a significant effect for our economy and middle-class families....' Said 'significant effect' will be little more than added debt for their--as yet, unborn--grand-children, great grand-children and great, great grand-children!! The United States of America--as we know her--is quickly being transformed into an unrecognizable entity the American Citizen has no direct knowledge of; association with:
A Dictatorial-Democracy: The citizen has an opinion, a voice--a vote--so long as it agrees with the current ruler!!]
So any Senator out there who’s thinking about voting against this jobs bill needs to explain why they would oppose something that we know would improve our economic situation. If the Republicans in Congress think they have a better plan for creating jobs right now, they should prove it. Because one of the same independent economists who looked at our plan just said that their ideas, quote, wouldn’t “mean much for the economy in the near term.” If their plan doesn’t measure up, the American people deserve to know what it is that Republicans in Congress don’t like about this jobs plan. You hear a lot of our Republican friends say that one of the most important things we can do is cut taxes. Well, they should love this plan. The American Jobs Act would cut taxes for virtually every worker and small business in America. And if you’re a small business owner that hires new workers, raises wages, or hires a veteran, you get an additional tax cut. Right now, hundreds of thousands of teachers and firefighters and police officers have been laid off because of state budget cuts. This jobs bill will put a lot of these men and women back to work. Right now, there are millions of laid-off construction workers who could be repairing our bridges and roads and modernizing our schools. Why wouldn’t we want to put these men and women to work rebuilding America?
[What I'm not telling you: My statement: "If the republicRATs think they have a better plan for creating jobs right now, they should prove it." Again, I'm not referring you to the Representative Gohmert jobs bill: "American Jobs Act of 2011!" But.... if the reader would like to review it: http://gohmert.house.gov/UploadedFiles/Gohmert_American_Jobs_Act.pdf
The regime was forced to cajole those 'independent economists' to make their ludicrous statement about the Gohmert jobs bill; how else would we get anyone to say that cutting the corporate income tax "wouldn't mean much for the economy in the near term." How in the hell can anyone in their right-mind, believe that tripe?!?
Again, my reference to those poor, mistreated policemen; those poor, mistreated firemen; those poor mistreated teachers is little more than pandering to the labor, service and teachers unions. We depend upon all of them for both their votes as well as the voter intimidation they provide at the polls during each election that socio-fascism is threatened. Can you--the general public--believe that I continually refer to those deteriorating roads and bridges as a source of jobs via this bill?!? They were to be addressed in that $787 Thousand-Million PORKulus 'slush-fund' that I spent--again--in rewarding my contributors and supporters as well as those ubiquitous labor, service and teachers' unions! That PORKulus bill--if spent as 'advertised'--would have been more-than-enough to complete the then-state objectives!!]
The proposals in this bill are steps we have to take if we want to build an economy that lasts; if we want to be able to compete with other countries for jobs that restore a sense of security for the middle-class. But we also have to rein in our deficit and start living within our means, which is why this jobs bill is paid for by asking millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share. Some see this as class warfare. I see it as a simple choice. We can either keep taxes exactly as they are for millionaires and billionaires, or we can ask them to pay at least the same rate as a plumber or a bus driver. And in the process, we can put teachers and construction workers and veterans back on the job. We can either fight to protect their tax cuts, or we can cut taxes for virtually every worker and small business in America. But we can’t afford to do both. It’s that simple. There are too many people hurting in this country for us to simply do nothing. The economy is too fragile for us to let politics get in the way of action. The people who represent you in Washington have a responsibility to do what’s best for you – not what’s best for their party or what’s going to help them win an election that’s more than a year away. So I need you to keep making your voices heard in Washington. I need you to remind these folks who they work for. And I need you to tell your Senators to do the right thing by passing this jobs bill right away.
[What I'm not telling you: The American public; the American taxpayer would be far-better served had they elected someone who actually had experience in making a payroll; experience in corporate management; experience in general--as well as national--economics. But--instead--they chose to believe--and read their individual desires into--the vague, misleading blather of my successful--and most probably, last successful--presidential campaign. To that end, we're marsalling all the regime's resources; all the regime's influence toward the denegration of Herman Cain, as witnessed by the Lawrence O'Donnell slandarous, untruthful and misleading verbal lynching of the leading GOP candidate (http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2011/10/07/herman_cain_dominates_smarmy_and_disgusting_msnbc_host_lawrence_odonnell)!
To the regime, Mr Cain will be the most formidable candidate in the current GOP field, thus must be destroyed--both policitally and personally--to prevent his political success, both now and in the future.
The regime's foremost nemesis is a large percentage of Washington politicians WILL act as prescribed by their electorate!! The "Tea Party" movement's successes in the 2010 mid-term elections have permeated the Congress with a conservatism not seen in a century or more! The primary responsibility of the federal legislature is to it's constituency-NOT to the ruler in power! Socio-fascist legislators believe the exact opposite. They are dumbfounded that the American taxpayer won't just 'bend at the waist and grab their collective ankles' in preparation for the next attack on their rights!!
My jobs bill is nothing more; nothing less than a blatant attempt at more wealth re-distribution. The bill is primarily aimed at those self-made millionaires and billionaires who actually create the vast majority of the jobs in America!! When wealth is taken from those Americans, it's taken out of the general economy to be put into current and additional dependency programs to pacify the socio-fascist voter base. The socio-fascist politicians--during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries--has destroyed the human need to succeed; the human desire to be self-sufficient; the American need to achieve "The American Dream!!"]

A Patriotic Response To The "Clown Prince;" 10/01/2011

Hello, everyone. It’s been almost three weeks since I sent the American Jobs Act to Congress – three weeks since I sent them a bill that would put people back to work and put money in people’s pockets. This jobs bill is fully paid for. This jobs bill contains the kinds of proposals that Democrats and Republicans have supported in the past. And now I want it back. It is time for Congress to get its act together and pass this jobs bill so I can sign it into law. Some Republicans in Congress have said that they agree with certain parts of this jobs bill. If so, it’s time for them to tell me what those proposals are. And if they’re opposed to this jobs bill, I’d like to know what exactly they’re against. Are they against putting teachers and police officers and firefighters back on the job? Are they against hiring construction workers to rebuild our roads and bridges and schools? Are they against giving tax cuts to virtually every worker and small business in America?
[What I'm not telling you: It has been almost three weeks, and I still can't cajole--even bribe, 'under the table'--the first owe-bamacRAT to sponsor this bill on the House floor!! Those of my party--as well as those evil republicRATs--realize this bill is nothing more than "PORKulus Three;" the direct opposite of what this country needs. The previous PORKulus bills--masquarading as jobs, as economic boosting bills--were supported by the socio-fascists as well as the republicRAT communists because of promised pay-offs for organizations (read: UNIONS) amongst their constituencies. They ignored the best direction for the country to take for the sake of kick-backs to those who 'got the vote out' for them during that amazing "Tea Party" movement toward a more conservative, constitutionalist federal government!!
I've been promoting thisbull bill as a side-bar to my governmentally-financed campaign stops. This "PORKulus Three" spending will continue the country down the current path toward a 'Nazi-Amerika;' much like the social spending, the social control, the racial divides, the class warfare popularized by Fuhrer Adolf Hitler in the 1920s, '30s and '40s Nazi-Germany.
Most citizens in the United States have not the slightest inkling as to how federal, state, county or local funding takes place, or to whose benefit. I'm playing on that lack of knowledge as I push forward this complete fraud that is the ZERO-bama 'American Jobs Act' legislation (as opposed to the Louie Gohmert 'American Jobs Act' bill). I continually speak of the teachers, the policemen and the firemen as being those career fields the American citizen is willing to foresake as they try to counter my socio-fascist bent. Actually my friends, those three career fields--as well as many others--are paid for or supplemented by funds from the county, city, school-district, fire-district; funds which are made up of tax-confuscations from the citizens of each political subdivision. If the voter is not well-versed on these subdivisions and their funding mechanisms, he or she could easily fall into the trap that is 'socio-fascist blather!' Beside this funding subterfuge, no one seems to remember all those construction jobs, all those poor bridges, all those poor roads, all those poor school buildings.... they were considered 'shovel-ready' projects that 'plug' biden and I touted during and after the debate and passage of "PORKulus Two (the $787Billion one)." For those with short memories, "PORKulus One" was the TARP Program that rewarded all our Wall Street 'friends; those evil, rich, pasty-white guys!'
Some are getting wise, realizing that my definition of "tax-cuts" is nothing more than shifting the funding burden from one group of taxpayers to another group and back to the orginal group. Of course I understand that any corporate tax I increase--or institute--is nothing more than a hidden shift from the taxpayer to the corporation, whch inturn, shifts it back to the taxpayer through their increased wholesale and retail pricing structures. Good Luck With That !!]
Economists from across the political spectrum have said that this jobs bill would boost the economy and spur hiring. Why would you be against that? Especially at a time when so many Americans are struggling and out of work. This isn’t just about what I think is right. It’s not just about what a group of economists think is right. This is about what the American people want. Everywhere I go, they tell me they want action on jobs. Every day, I get letters from Americans who expect Washington to do something about the problems we face. Destiny Wheeler is a sixteen year old from Georgia who wants to go to college. She wrote to me saying, “Now-a-days it is hard to see myself pushing forward and putting my family in a better position, especially since the economy is rough and my starting situation is so poor. Yet, the American Jobs act gives me hope that I might start to receive a better education, that one day job opportunities will be open for me to grasp, and that one day my personal American Dream will be reached.” Destiny needs us to pass this jobs bill. Alice Johnson is an Oregon native who, along with her husband, has been looking for a job for about two years. She writes, “I have faithfully applied for work every week…Of the hundreds of applications I have put in, I received interview requests for about 10…I too, am sick of all the fighting in Washington DC. Please tell the Republicans that people are hurting and are hungry and need help, pass the jobs bill.” Alice Johnson needs our help. Cathleen Dixon sent me pictures of the aging bridge she drives under when she takes her kids to school in Chicago every day. She worries about their safety, and writes, “I am angry that in this country of vast resources we claim that we cannot maintain basic infrastructure. How can we ever hope to preserve or regain our stature in this world, if we cannot find the will to protect our people and take care of our basic needs?” I also heard from Kim Faber, who told me about the small carpet business her husband owns in New Jersey. “We hang on by a shoe String,” she writes, “my husband worries every day about if checks might bounce, he uses our home loan to put money in the business so they will be covered. Please pass this jobs bill! This is the job creating we need right now! It breaks my husband’s heart when he has to let people go! Pass the bill!” Kim said it best: Pass the bill. I know one Republican was quoted as saying that their party shouldn’t pass this jobs bill because it would give me a win. Well this isn’t about giving me a win, and it’s not about them. This is about Destiny Wheeler and Alice Johnson. It’s about Cathleen Dixon’s children, and the Fabers’ family business. These are the people who need a win, and I will be fighting for this jobs bill every day on their behalf. If anyone watching feels the same way, don’t be shy about letting your Congressman know. It is time for the politics to end. Let’s pass this jobs bill.
[What I'm not telling you: With enough financial and economic bribery, I can have any segment of the American population say anything I want said! The Keynesian economists--currently in vogue--believe that active government intervention in the marketplace and monetary policy is the best method of ensuring economic growth and stability. Actually, even I know these actions have failed every time they've been tried!! What is not readily realized is the personal--as well as the economic--control the federal government exerts over the population with the Keynesian policies we're trying to institute.
As usual, I trot out these examples of the worst effects of the current Keynesian policies in force. It's well understood--by those in the "Tea Party" movement as well as many, many others--that less federal spending, fewer federal regulations, less racial warfare, less class warfare, a far smaller federal government would be instrumental in the country's recovery. All most need is the opportunity to succeed without the intervention, the strangle-hold the federal government has on personal responsibility, on the will to succeed. The federal government--meaning George Soros, The Fed, The Bilderberg Group and I--has all-but-killed "The American Dream."
It's widely known--but not acknowledged by the regime--that the vast majority of communications between the taxpayer and his or her representative and senator are highly opposed to the "PORKulus Three" jobs act!! Our internal polling as well, is indicating that--as Rush Limbaugh says--Mickey Mouse would win the next presidental vote!!]

"Clown Prince" Weekly Blather; September 24th (Very Late!!)
A Patriotic Response To The "Clown Prince;" 09/24/2011
barackingham Palace,
District of Corruption
September 24, 2011
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been making the case that we need to act now on the American Jobs Act, so we can put folks back to work and start building an economy that lasts into the future. Education is an essential part of this economic agenda. It is an undeniable fact that countries who out-educate us today will out-compete us tomorrow. Businesses will hire wherever the highly-skilled, highly-trained workers are located. But today, our students are sliding against their peers around the globe. Today, our kids trail too many other countries in math, science, and reading. As many as a quarter of our students aren’t even finishing high school. And we’ve fallen to 16th in the proportion of our young people with a college degree, even though we know that sixty percent of new jobs in the coming decade will require more than a high school diploma. What this means is that if we’re serious about building an economy that lasts – an economy in which hard work pays off with the opportunity for solid middle class jobs – we had better be serious about education. We have to pick up our game and raise our standards. As a nation, we have an obligation to make sure that all children have the resources they need to learn – quality schools, good teachers, the latest textbooks and the right technology.
[What I'm not telling you: What I've actually doing--totally illegally; totally at taxpayer expense--is giving campaign blusterful blathers, thinly disguised as blather opportunities to promote the "Clown Prince ZERO-bama, The Narcissist's" American Jobs Act; as opposed to Louie Gohmert's thoroughly workable American Jobs Act.
The graduation rates directly correlate with the fascist philosophy I've advocated and practiced since I was graduated from Harvard Law School. An under-educated--preferably an uneducated--serf class is far easier to control; far easier to persuade that everything they need, or want, or desire can and will be provided by the government, if they will just wait. If we are truly to get serious about education, I'm NOT your guy!! I'm the guy that forced Arne Duncan on the Department of Education; I'm the guy that continues to bloat the administrative side of education while foresaking the instructional staff. It's been said for years: education is best served at the lowest level possible, i.e., at the county or district level. Absolutely, NOT at the federal level. Education in the United States would be best served with the dissolution of the Department of Education!! Their ever-growing budget would certainly be better administered at the level of the thousands of counties; at the level of the tens-of-thousands of school districts in the United States.
Raising the quality of the instructional is paramount to raising the graduation rates. Lowering--if not eliminating--the influence of the teachers' unions is paramount to raising the quality of the instructional staff. The millions-upon-millions of dollars siphoned off by the uber-greedy of the unions' hierarchies is no more benefit to the whole scheme of things than was my wife's no-show, $374,000 job at the University of Chicago Medical Center, was a benefit to medicine in general; to the University of Chicago in particular!!]
That’s why the jobs bill I sent to Congress would put tens of thousands of teachers back to work across the country, and modernize at least 35,000 schools. And Congress should pass that bill right now. But money alone won’t solve our education problems. We also need reform. We need to make sure that every classroom is a place of high expectations and high performance. That’s been our vision since taking office. And that’s why instead of just pouring money into a system that’s not working, we launched a competition called Race to the Top. To all fifty states, we said, “If you show us the most innovative plans to improve teacher quality and student achievement, we’ll show you the money.” For less than one percent of what we spend on education each year, Race to the Top has led states across the country to raise their standards for teaching and learning. These standards were developed, not by Washington, but by Republican and Democratic governors throughout the country. And since then, we have seen what’s possible when reform isn’t just a top-down mandate, but the work of local teachers and principals; school boards and communities. That’s why in my State of the Union address this year, I said that Congress should reform the No Child Left Behind law based on the same principles that have guided Race to the Top. While the goals behind No Child Left Behind were admirable, experience has taught us that the law has some serious flaws that are hurting our children instead of helping them. Teachers are being forced to teach to a test, while subjects like history and science are being squeezed out. And in order to avoid having their schools labeled as failures, some states lowered their standards in a race to the bottom.
[What I'm not telling you: Actually, the Jobs bill I sent to congress cannot even muster one owe-bamacRATic representative to sponsor the bill on the Floor of the House! Sadly, this presents the true measure of the bill's benefit to the nation's unemployed. There is NO BENEFIT, it's merely a tax-increase on the nation's evil rich, white guys. If passed--which is highly unlikely--this bill will stifle jobs creation for decades to come.
Every cleaverly named education bill--for the past several decades--has been flawed from it's very outset. That evil President George W. Bush plan, "No Child Left Behind" did exactly that; while my "Race to the Top" was neither a 'race,' nor was anyone to reach the 'top.' The greatest outcome of the "Race to the Top" were more and more cleaver assessment and statistical schemes to insure no school was labelled a failure. Mine was a thinly disguised plan to reward the teachers' unions, bloat the local payrolls, compensate those in the union hierarchies that contributed to my campaign and those who actively supported me.
While I carried the District of Corruption overwhelmingly during my 'selection-for-election,' I didn't receive the financial backing I felt should have been forthcoming. To that end I had the 111th Congress vote to cut-off funding for the District's education vouchers. You remember the 111th Congress, right? They're the ones--headed by Nancy PORKlosi and 'pinky' reid--who squashed America's rights, economy and employment "like so many bugs!!" I--being as concerned with education as I am--took the stance of depriving some of America's poorest, most dis-enfranchised students of a better-quality education. Now, these students I claim to care so deeply about, are forced to suffer some of the poorest schools on the planet, staffed with some of least-qualified UNION teaching staff 'known-to-man!!']
These problems have been obvious to parents and educators all over this country for years. But for years, Congress has failed to fix them. So now, I will. Our kids only get one shot at a decent education. And they can’t afford to wait any longer. Yesterday, I announced that we’ll be giving states more flexibility to meet high standards for teaching and learning. It’s time for us to let states, schools and teachers come up with innovative ways to give our children the skills they need to compete for the jobs of the future. This will make a huge difference in the lives of students all across the country. Yesterday, I was with Ricky Hall, the principal of a school in Worcester, Massachusetts. Every single student who graduated from Ricci’s school in the last three years went on to college. But because they didn’t meet the standards of No Child Left Behind, Ricci’s school was labeled as failing last year. That will change because of what we did yesterday. From now on, we’ll be able to encourage the progress at schools like Ricci’s. From now on, people like John Becker, who teaches at one of the highest-performing middle schools in D.C., will be able to focus on teaching his 4th graders math in a way that improves their performance instead of just teaching to a test. Superintendents like David Estrop from Ohio will be able to focus on improving teaching and learning in his district instead of spending all his time on bureaucratic mandates from Washington that don’t get results. This isn’t just the right thing to do for our kids – it’s the right thing to do for our country, and our future. It is time to put our teachers back on the job. It is time to rebuild and modernize our schools. And it is time to raise our standards, up our game, and do everything it takes to prepare our children succeed in the global economy. Now is the time to once again make our education system the envy of the world.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been making the case that we need to act now on the American Jobs Act, so we can put folks back to work and start building an economy that lasts into the future. Education is an essential part of this economic agenda. It is an undeniable fact that countries who out-educate us today will out-compete us tomorrow. Businesses will hire wherever the highly-skilled, highly-trained workers are located. But today, our students are sliding against their peers around the globe. Today, our kids trail too many other countries in math, science, and reading. As many as a quarter of our students aren’t even finishing high school. And we’ve fallen to 16th in the proportion of our young people with a college degree, even though we know that sixty percent of new jobs in the coming decade will require more than a high school diploma. What this means is that if we’re serious about building an economy that lasts – an economy in which hard work pays off with the opportunity for solid middle class jobs – we had better be serious about education. We have to pick up our game and raise our standards. As a nation, we have an obligation to make sure that all children have the resources they need to learn – quality schools, good teachers, the latest textbooks and the right technology.
[What I'm not telling you: What I've actually doing--totally illegally; totally at taxpayer expense--is giving campaign blusterful blathers, thinly disguised as blather opportunities to promote the "Clown Prince ZERO-bama, The Narcissist's" American Jobs Act; as opposed to Louie Gohmert's thoroughly workable American Jobs Act.
The graduation rates directly correlate with the fascist philosophy I've advocated and practiced since I was graduated from Harvard Law School. An under-educated--preferably an uneducated--serf class is far easier to control; far easier to persuade that everything they need, or want, or desire can and will be provided by the government, if they will just wait. If we are truly to get serious about education, I'm NOT your guy!! I'm the guy that forced Arne Duncan on the Department of Education; I'm the guy that continues to bloat the administrative side of education while foresaking the instructional staff. It's been said for years: education is best served at the lowest level possible, i.e., at the county or district level. Absolutely, NOT at the federal level. Education in the United States would be best served with the dissolution of the Department of Education!! Their ever-growing budget would certainly be better administered at the level of the thousands of counties; at the level of the tens-of-thousands of school districts in the United States.
Raising the quality of the instructional is paramount to raising the graduation rates. Lowering--if not eliminating--the influence of the teachers' unions is paramount to raising the quality of the instructional staff. The millions-upon-millions of dollars siphoned off by the uber-greedy of the unions' hierarchies is no more benefit to the whole scheme of things than was my wife's no-show, $374,000 job at the University of Chicago Medical Center, was a benefit to medicine in general; to the University of Chicago in particular!!]
That’s why the jobs bill I sent to Congress would put tens of thousands of teachers back to work across the country, and modernize at least 35,000 schools. And Congress should pass that bill right now. But money alone won’t solve our education problems. We also need reform. We need to make sure that every classroom is a place of high expectations and high performance. That’s been our vision since taking office. And that’s why instead of just pouring money into a system that’s not working, we launched a competition called Race to the Top. To all fifty states, we said, “If you show us the most innovative plans to improve teacher quality and student achievement, we’ll show you the money.” For less than one percent of what we spend on education each year, Race to the Top has led states across the country to raise their standards for teaching and learning. These standards were developed, not by Washington, but by Republican and Democratic governors throughout the country. And since then, we have seen what’s possible when reform isn’t just a top-down mandate, but the work of local teachers and principals; school boards and communities. That’s why in my State of the Union address this year, I said that Congress should reform the No Child Left Behind law based on the same principles that have guided Race to the Top. While the goals behind No Child Left Behind were admirable, experience has taught us that the law has some serious flaws that are hurting our children instead of helping them. Teachers are being forced to teach to a test, while subjects like history and science are being squeezed out. And in order to avoid having their schools labeled as failures, some states lowered their standards in a race to the bottom.
[What I'm not telling you: Actually, the Jobs bill I sent to congress cannot even muster one owe-bamacRATic representative to sponsor the bill on the Floor of the House! Sadly, this presents the true measure of the bill's benefit to the nation's unemployed. There is NO BENEFIT, it's merely a tax-increase on the nation's evil rich, white guys. If passed--which is highly unlikely--this bill will stifle jobs creation for decades to come.
Every cleaverly named education bill--for the past several decades--has been flawed from it's very outset. That evil President George W. Bush plan, "No Child Left Behind" did exactly that; while my "Race to the Top" was neither a 'race,' nor was anyone to reach the 'top.' The greatest outcome of the "Race to the Top" were more and more cleaver assessment and statistical schemes to insure no school was labelled a failure. Mine was a thinly disguised plan to reward the teachers' unions, bloat the local payrolls, compensate those in the union hierarchies that contributed to my campaign and those who actively supported me.
While I carried the District of Corruption overwhelmingly during my 'selection-for-election,' I didn't receive the financial backing I felt should have been forthcoming. To that end I had the 111th Congress vote to cut-off funding for the District's education vouchers. You remember the 111th Congress, right? They're the ones--headed by Nancy PORKlosi and 'pinky' reid--who squashed America's rights, economy and employment "like so many bugs!!" I--being as concerned with education as I am--took the stance of depriving some of America's poorest, most dis-enfranchised students of a better-quality education. Now, these students I claim to care so deeply about, are forced to suffer some of the poorest schools on the planet, staffed with some of least-qualified UNION teaching staff 'known-to-man!!']
These problems have been obvious to parents and educators all over this country for years. But for years, Congress has failed to fix them. So now, I will. Our kids only get one shot at a decent education. And they can’t afford to wait any longer. Yesterday, I announced that we’ll be giving states more flexibility to meet high standards for teaching and learning. It’s time for us to let states, schools and teachers come up with innovative ways to give our children the skills they need to compete for the jobs of the future. This will make a huge difference in the lives of students all across the country. Yesterday, I was with Ricky Hall, the principal of a school in Worcester, Massachusetts. Every single student who graduated from Ricci’s school in the last three years went on to college. But because they didn’t meet the standards of No Child Left Behind, Ricci’s school was labeled as failing last year. That will change because of what we did yesterday. From now on, we’ll be able to encourage the progress at schools like Ricci’s. From now on, people like John Becker, who teaches at one of the highest-performing middle schools in D.C., will be able to focus on teaching his 4th graders math in a way that improves their performance instead of just teaching to a test. Superintendents like David Estrop from Ohio will be able to focus on improving teaching and learning in his district instead of spending all his time on bureaucratic mandates from Washington that don’t get results. This isn’t just the right thing to do for our kids – it’s the right thing to do for our country, and our future. It is time to put our teachers back on the job. It is time to rebuild and modernize our schools. And it is time to raise our standards, up our game, and do everything it takes to prepare our children succeed in the global economy. Now is the time to once again make our education system the envy of the world.
[What I'm not telling you: The Congress that did the least for the children and the students of America was that Nancy PORKlosi/pinky reid led 111th Congress! We all know how effective those two were: he campaigned for pork to support cowboy poetry; she said "unemployment checks are the fastest way to create jobs!?!" Of course.... what would a blather opportunity be, without parading out all the union teachers-some who even support me.]
