- IMPORTANT DECISIONS: Your editors will NOT be liveblogging this education speech at noon, because it will simply be the president telling kids that education is important, and while that is wrong, there is no sort of controversy or news or anything of any interest to be found here. We would rather liveblog the cloud formations changing. The wingnuts have a problem with THAT, too. [White House]

But you will be liveblogging the Republican response, delivered by Dubya, telling kids that it’s OK to drift through school in an alcohol- and coke-fueled haze, rely on your daddy’s business connections to get through life and pretty much fuck up everything you touch — and you can still get elected president.
[re=404451]FMA[/re]: Or rather, I should have said, “have the Supreme Court appoint you president.”
[re=404454]FMA[/re]: and then scare the shit out of the idiot populace with lies so you actually do get elected the second time around.
Abe Simpson…symbol for all wingnuts… http://www.globalnerdy.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/grandpa_simpson_yelling_at_cloud.jpg
I suggest a liveblogging in these comments. I would love to participate, but I will be busy with my appointment at socialist reeducation camp.
Nimbostratus… or socialist indoctrination???! YOU DECIDE.
It was only a matter of time before wingnuts realized the public school system was a form of Socialism and opted out.
My kid stayed at home just to read your liveblog of the speech that he isn’t allowed to see in school.
Lesson: My kid can depend on exactly zero adults. I’m going to see if he would like to be aborted in this, his 24th trimester.
[re=404463]magic titty[/re]: Yep, and next they’ll realize that the sewer system, water supply and garbage collection are socialist institutions too (in most places). So you’ll be able to recognize their domiciles by the heaps of garbage, dead plants and smell of human fecal matter.
“Going Galt,” they call it. Peeyou!
oh, i see. wonkette has joined the boycott. there goes your liburil credentials.
ZOMG I SEE A CLOUD THAT LOOKS LIKE AN UNCIRCUMCISED PENIS IT MUST BE KENYAN
Shoot, how am I going to be able to decode the speeches subliminal Commie codes now?
The price of liberty is eternal vigilance, you slags.
Teaching personal responsibility is pure communist propaganda. And the final statement: “God bless America”, which god is Barrack referring to: Muslin Allah car bomb god, Morman Wild West Jesus six shooter God, Mary the mother of god, Hindu Fart God, Shinto suicide god, or Bhudda panniculas god?
But if you play the speech backwards it says, “Democracy is dead!”
Liveblogging anyway, dammit…Has this “Timothy Spicer” been vetted?
When Obama says “Study hard,” what the children will really hear is “All private property is theft.
When he says, “Do your homework,” they’ll really hear, “Behind every great fortune there is a great crime.”
When he says, “Go to school every day,” they’ll hear, “The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves and then we will save our country.”
Prediction: Wingnuts will turn several shades of magenta over the fact that the class president at Wakefield HS is also a communist Kenyan Muslim
The more often Obama (1) causes the wingnuts to sound the alarm for two weeks about what damage he’s about to do, and (2) then does nothing even arguably objectionable, the better.
[re=404478]Brendan M.[/re]: Nuh-uh! The price of liberty is A BUCK OH FIVE!
Obama needs to make a point to use random harmless words that he knows Beck will interpret as crazy leftist hypnotic words. Like just now – “turn off the X-Box” – as in, no more X *Box* and more *MALCOLM* *X*?!?!?! TRAITOR!
Aaaaahahahaha he IS using leftist codewords, and talking about the poor and homeless! Ohhhhhhh it’s going to be fun seeing Republicans tie this to communism. I mean they’ll probably win the debate on that because of the country we’re in, but it will at least still be funny.
This is easily the most inflammatory address I have ever been exposed to. Obama has clearly lost the homework-avoiding, talking-back-to-teachers, not-trying vote forever.
[re=404479]widget09[/re]: Yes, an elitist Harvard education has taught our Comrad Barakk well.
And don’t forget the Kabbalah messages from the numbers in the speech, which translate to “beat up whitey, steal his lunch money.”
Open your Minds Children. Listen to Our Leader.
“Set your own goals?” “Wash your hands”? Straight out of the Marx Engels Reader!!!!
Uh-oh…”JK Rawlings? Serious erosion of your nerd cred there, Barry.
The Revolution will not be liveblogged.
So don’t let us down – don’t let your family or your country or yourself down. Make us all proud. I know you can do it.
Who’s “us”?? Ahhhh (draws on chalkboard ala Beck)
US -> U.S. -> U.S. gubment-> COMMUNISM!!1!
Don’t let the U.S. government down or we’ll kill your family.
Nice try nobama.
Admit it, Jim, you all didn’t live blog this because you were all afraid that if you did listen, you would end up soulless commies.
I will say it was inappropriate when he kept pretending to insert the tip of his pointer into the nostril of that giant enlarged photo of Trig.
[re=404463]magic titty[/re]: It’s called “charter schools”
My god…that was EXACTLY like watching Triumph of the Will.
Thank God I don’t have children. I wouldn’t want them exposed to all that pressure. How dare he extol the virtues of hard work. That’s communist right there.
[re=404507]DoktorZoom[/re]: Even worse, that’s going to piss off the Jeebus lovers too as they hate Harry Potter because of all the magic, sorcery, and wand holding that goes on in the books
Obama has told us to stay away from the capitalist Xboxes and, by implication, go buy a socialist Wii. Now we know which video game system hates America.
[re=404541]Hooray For Anything[/re]: Exactly. Plus this will just reinforce the fact that Barry is teh AntiChrist.
Are you really going to let some black guy talk to our kids??????
Following the speech, all ofays in Congress will be arrested and the revolution of the persons of coloration and dusky tint will be complete. Barry will step aside for the People’s new leader, Van Jones.
Glennda, ya be such a suckah.
Sure, indocterinating innocent school children is crummy…but you have missed the real tragedy of the day. Our valiant and noble Sen. Chuck Grasshole has had his wee heart smashed to smithereens by that vicious Kenyan pretender. Apparently said chocolate fellow does not sound adequately bi-partisan to Sen. Grasshole. Oh woe!!! How can we expect the dear Sen. to keep up the good work of warning everyone about death panels???
I was expecting more fist pounding on the podium, for emphasis. Didn’t Hopey’s MENTORS, HITLER and MUSSOLINI, do that all the time when speaking about how learning is COOL??
What the hell is this ACORN Armband my kid came home wearing today!!!!
If you play his speech backwards you can hear the major tenants of the Communist Manifesto.
Are you really going to let some black guy talk to our kids?
[re=404479]widget09[/re]: Don’t forget Some Mung Moon!
Actually, if you wanted to have fun, you should have covered the wingnuts on MSNBC who were criticizing Obama for being articulate and encouraging children to study, as it is just one short step from that to teh gayez getting married.
[re=404563]AtlasHugged[/re]: The Communist Manifesto has tenants? Any idea what the rent is like?
How can we have this socialist propoganda in our public schools??!!
[re=404575]Maxine of Arc[/re]: “From each according to his ability to pay,” I think.
Shit. Already posted what I thought on another thread. My favorite part was Dr. Nancy calling the assface, bucktoothed hillbilly crazy. Or that’s what I heard, anyway.
[re=404573]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: Agreed. “Obama is so likeable and articulate and good looking, that it is nothing short of DANGEROUS to let our children see him without our being there to tell them that he’s a queer-loving america-hating muslin nazi socialist.” That wasn’t an enviable task, but I did enjoy watching teh black conservative pundit contort himself to find fault with this speech.
[re=404581]Deacon Frank Orris[/re]: And ‘to each according to the fullness of his beard’. Marx, you know. He was a pre-Taliban.
Since when did we make a Kenyan Secretary of Education?
Outrage! How *could* the editors ignore this non-event?
Hard work! Work! Like WORKERS. See? Code for Communist! Also, you know, black authority figure. Heaven forfend.
But how else will we find out if Obama is turning our children into prostitutes of the state?
[re=404575]Maxine of Arc[/re]: Thank you. That was “tenets”, of course … one of those words that’s disappearing from the language ’cause people don’t fucking *read* and they figure some rough homonym they heard some TV talking head burble must be just as good.
“Drivel” is also disappearing, to be replaced, in all internet comments everywhere, with “dribble.”
[re=404648]iolanthe[/re]: You wouldn’t want them to be driveling on the basketball court, wudja?
Read just like the transcript. TEleProPtERZZZ!!1!!
OMFG. Obambi was home skooled in Indonesia by his illegitimate mother? MUSLIN FASCHIST!!1!
[re=404836]Bruno[/re]: I mean INDO-CHINA
The air all across America is filled with the acrid smell of tire smoke…..
As the right wing crazies furiously back pedal on this “issue.”
What bright, shiny, made up thing will the media use to distract them next week?
Stay tuned.
They’ll be told what to think at least by Monday, if not tomorrow.
[re=404463]magic titty[/re]:
I actually know people who feel strongly about that.
Not strongly enough to pull a wad of cash out of their pocket to send the junior skinheads to Christian school, but strongly enough to bring up socialism whenever the subject comes up.
They don’t seem to mind socialist fire departments,police departments, roads, etc.
