Some miscreants in public school districts are not going to air the President’s address to our nation’s schoolchildren next week.

Pull their funding. Close any school that is unpatriotic enough to ban the President of the United States. This smacks of treason.

Do it now.

The Racist Rethugs have a variety of excuses as to why they reject Obama speaking to their children directly.

I’d love to say such opposition is based in reality. But hey, these are the same idiots calling Obama a socialist, fascist, and racist in the same breath. The reality is, he is none of those things and he certainly isn’t a liberal. Damn the luck, but I knew that when I backed him anyway.

Hell, thirty years ago, his policies would – in the main – label him as a Republican. Hell, forty years ago Richard Nixon was for employee-mandated health insurance. How far we’ve fallen that even Tricky Dick was more liberal than the so-called “Socialist” Obama.

Nah, these folks merely don’t want a black man telling their kids to live their dreams, stay in school, and to work hard – and possibly together! gasp! – at improving their lives and communities.

To be even more to the point, these racists “dun’t wanna a lazy nigger telling their rugrats how to live”.

In short, they are afraid he’s going to push an agenda of responsibility and service to our children. You know, like that’s a bad thing or something.

He might not even do it. I don’t know because the speech hasn’t even been publicly shown yet! But I do know there is a precedent for presidential brainwashing and that would be the Rethugs own Ronald Reagan trying to “indoctrinate” our children to be pro-gun and pro-tax cuts to the rich as he did back in 1988.

So….if you, like most Rethugs, support the insurance companies, you must be fine with a 22% chance of failure in getting your medical care paid for.

If we were in school, that would give you a 78, which is a C, and possibly a D in some districts.

For all their talk of American exceptionalism, Republicans are hunky-dory with a C-class medical insurance system. Yelling “We’re Number One” doesn’t make it so, as we increasingly are finding out.

Well, those of us who aren’t Republicans.

Not entirely related but more proof of anti-reform stupidity and hypocrisy:

Lastly, some words for Robert Reich on what the President should say in next Wednesday’s speech.

Not that he will.
