Poor Barry
Soetoro. He thought he had it made. But, quite frankly, he cannot make the (pay) grade)!
Obama bemoans 'diversions' of IPod, Xbox era
(Because HE might not understand them??? But he gave an iPOD to the QUEEN?)
I will add my own comments of color, the color RED, the color of Marxism, which is exactly what this man is all about.. Is that OK with you? I really don't care!
HAMPTON, Virginia — US President Barack Obama lamented Sunday that in the
iPad and
Xbox era, information had become a diversion that was imposing new strains on democracy, in his latest critique of modern media.
Obama, who often chides journalists and cable news outlets for obsessing with political horse race coverage rather than serious issues, told a class of graduating university students that education was the key to progress.
"You're coming of age in a 24/7 media environment that bombards us with all kinds of content and exposes us to all kinds of arguments, some of which don't always rank all that high on the truth meter," Obama said at Hampton University, Virginia.
What he is saying to you, the 2010 graduates, is that he does not want you, even though you're trying to find a job, to get in the way of his 'job numbers'.
DON'T use your brain to become successful. Just listen to him (and Michelle) and everything will be OK, right?"With iPods and iPads and Xboxes and PlayStations, -- none of which I know how to work
(You mean, all the time you spend with your daughters, and they haven't taught you a THING)-- information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of emancipation," Obama said.
(But, didn't he gift the Queen of England with an iPod? Chew on that for a bit!)He
bemoaned the fact that "
some of the craziest claims can quickly claim traction," in the clamor of certain blogs and talk radio outlets."All of this is not only putting new pressures on you, it is putting new pressures on our country and on our democracy."
Obama, who uses the handful of Commencement addresses that he delivers each year to meditate on societal developments broader than the minutiae of everyday politics, warned the world was at a moment of
"breathtaking change."
(So he is planning on becoming the first MARXIST DICTATOR of the United States?)."We can't stop these changes... but we can adapt to them," Obama said, adding that US workers were in a battle with well-educated foreign workers.
NO, WE CANNOT, AND WILL NOT, AND SHALL NOT!
"Education... can fortify you, as it did earlier generations, to meet the tests of your own time," he said.
Hampton University is a
(n--grammar!) historically black college, and Obama noted the huge disparity in educational achievement between African Americans and other racial groups in the United States and the world.
(And Obama is NOT historically BLACK, but is what is known as 'MULATTO', the combination of black and white--as an artist, I would call that GRAY!).
But he urged the graduates to take inspiration from the example of Dorothy Height, a civil and women's rights icon who died, aged 98, last month, who fought racial prejudice to secure a college education.
"A black woman, in 1929, refusing to be denied her dream of a college education," Obama said, reprising Height's life story."Refusing to be denied her rights, refusing to be denied her dignity, refusing to be denied... her piece of America's promise."
(Has he given a rat's bum about Dorothy Height, ever, since he gained the White House? And what the hell does he really KNOW and UNDERSTAND about America, PERIOD?).Obama argued that from the days of the pioneer politicians who founded the United States, until the modern day, education and knowledge had been the key to progress and US democracy.
He drew a line between Thomas Jefferson, the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, and today's challenges.
"What Jefferson recognized... that in the long run, their improbable experiment -- called America -- wouldn't work if its citizens were uninformed, if its citizens were apathetic, if its citizens checked out, and left democracy to those who didn't have the best interests of all the people at heart.
(Well, Barry Soetoro, many of us ARE informed, and last time we 'checked it out', it was a REPUBLIC, A$$hat!)
"It could only work if each of us stayed informed and engaged, if we held our government accountable, if we fulfilled the obligations of citizenship."
(Nice LIE...I and others hold YOU accountable, and I and many others would really like to know if YOU have 'fulfilled the obligations of citizenship', Mister KENYAN!)
And...then there is this FASHION DEBACLE, courtey of the wifey. Have any of you ever shopped back rooms in dollar stores? This piece os shite is obviously where that came from...and the w____ has no frickin' idea?
What can we call this, but simply dragging out the remnants to cover the FFA--First Fat Ass?
And, from Stage Right, ENTER THE WIFE
This is what is known as the 'First Lady of the United States of America'.
She walks like a cow, and wears very odd costumes. I would say she is more insane than Mary Todd Lincoln.
Why? Because Mary Todd Lincoln had a former slave as her tailor and dresser, and Mary Todd Lincoln had the aptitude to listen, UNLIKE Michelle (maybe, PREGGERS Michelle?).
Is this why Barry has been posing so much with babies lately? To show his 'fatherliness'?
Makes me want to run'n'puke, quite frankly!
Both of them seem to be QUITE HORRID HUMAN BEINGS, not quite the type of people I want around me!
