Barack Obama is trying guarante that his Messianic presidency will bring about "world class education" to America. It's no wonder he needed to hold his acceptance speech at Invesco Field: no other Colorado venue could hold his ego.
First, let's be clear about a little observation: American education is world class. That is why so many people -- from poor Mexicans and Hondurans to wealthy Saudi Princes -- come here with their children. Is it perfect? Absolutely not. But it is far better than the education you can get anywhere else on the planet person for person.
Libtards love to talk about the educational systems in places like China. But let me ask you this: when was the last time the Chinese actually invented anything? Oh, they can copy the living hell out of DVD player or a video game console. But engineering on their own? Sorry, not going to happen. If you can't make 14-year olds put it together in a factory where working conditions make Oliver Twist look like Utopia, they can't do it.
Second, libtards love to rail that we don't spend enough on education. Guess what? When you combine all spending on education from all levels of government, we spend as much education as we do on national defense -- minus the War. And if we didn't have liberal facists like O'Guvnah and his merry band of Politburo members, we could be spending much more-- if we actually followed the laws that brought the lottery to Maryland in the 1970s.
Third, if you want "world class education", you really need "world class parents" sending their "world class kids" to schools. And what we are really talking about here is inner city schools versus suburban schools. But there is a cultural firewall in the inner cities amongst minority families that turns these kids off to school. I don't know what it is, but it must be, because -- especially in Baltimore -- it seems that its okay to beat down your teachers.
This stuff starts in the home. And when you look at inner city homes, you see nothing that is "world class". The libtards would blame white America, claiming we are racists, trying to keep our boots on the necks of the poor black people. Sorry, but that don't won't hunt. White America isn't the one shoving heroin and smack into the arms of the Baltimoreans, and turning street corners into open air drug markets -- including the ones within eyeshot of the University of Maryland Police. If White America is guilty of anything, it's continuing to allow libtards to salve the wound by convincing them to keep spending the money, hoping the problem will go away if you throw enough money at it.
So maybe Barack's inner city experience will be useful one day, but not in the White House. If you want to deliver world class education, you need world class parents sending world class kids to school. And that sounds just like a job for a "community organizer" owned lock, stock, and barrel by ACORN.
