Wow, now the talk is of Barack Obama talking to students the first day of class on the importance of getting an education and doing good in school. The republicans in charge are totally against this. Is it because they don't want the people this country educated, because if we are educated maybe we will be able to see the shit they have been selling for years now. Remember during the election educated people were called elitists by people who say they have foreign policy experience because they can see Russia. But that's right I can treat car crash victims and gunshot wounds because I watched the first four seasons of E.R. Oh wait, that's not it because people like John Boehner and Eric Cantor who frequently quote Ronald Reagan, who himself gave a speech in 1988 to students for the same thing. The importance of getting a good education. Oh and then he went of to answer a question by promoting his tax cuts. Hardly a non partisan issue. Let's reverse this and see what would happen if Obama were to include a suggestion of taxing rich people to pay for health care. I guarantee you a massive outcry by conservatives then. By the way watch the video of CNNs Rick Sanchez interviewing another uninformed citizen on Ronald Reagans School speech posted below on blog main page. Oh and lets talk about rich people, specifically the bank CEOs. After we the public bailed out their incompetence at being CEOs, to the tune of 283 billion dollars, the average salary for the twenty largest banks CEOs for 2008 was almost 13.8 million dollars each, while the average person who bailed them out was around 31,500 dollars. And yes its the usual suspects Citi, B of A, JP Morgan, AIG, Wells Fargo. By the way when questioned, the bank CEOs complained that they took a pay cut. Talk about irony!
