For wealthy attorneys and their children :

" Michelle Obama visited at least two well-known private schools Monday as she and President-elect Obama prepare to move their two young daughters to the White House in January.

The soon-to-be first lady toured Georgetown Day School in the morning and Sidwell Friends School, which Chelsea Clinton attended, in the afternoon. In between, she spent about two hours visiting the residential portion of the White House with first lady Laura Bush. Their husbands met privately in the Oval Office.

Michelle Obama flew from Chicago to Washington and back separately from her husband, who did not visit the schools. It was not clear whether the Obamas will look at other schools, and their staff provided no details.

Ten-year-old Malia Obama and 7-year-old Sasha now attend a private school in Chicago."

Pretty much what Joe the Plumber asked Obama. Obama's answer ? To spread the wealth around.

Except when it comes to school choice, then, HE gets choice for his kids. You? Not so much choice.

Considering the open hatred toward our next president I wouldn't be surprised if he home schooled them. I can't begin to imagine what he has sacrificed emotionally as a parent to be in this position.

With private school there is the prospect of having more control over the situation, more security. The idea of his children having a "normal" school experience by going to a public school is whimsical and dangerous.

It's probably in the best interest of the other kids at that public school for them NOT to go there, and I would bet they have taken that into consideration as well.

Not in office, but he's made clear what he PLANS on doing, you mookette, and I think it's wrong. From Fed funding of Embryonic Stem Cells ( Bush never banned such research, only denied Fed $$ ) to replacing the Exec Ban on offshore drilling, there by furthering our dependence on foreign oil, Obama is barking up the wrong tree.

And, uhm, Rap --- what do you have against Thomas Jefferson ?

"I have indeed two great measures at heart, without which no republic can maintain itself in strength: 1. That of general education, to enable every man to judge for himself what will secure or endanger his freedom. 2. To divide every county into hundreds, of such size that all the children of each will be within reach of a central school in it." --Thomas Jefferson to John Tyler, 1810. ME 12:393
"Of all the views of this law [for public education], none is more important, none more legitimate, than that of rendering the people the safe as they are the ultimate guardians of their own liberty." --Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia Q.XIV, 1782. ME 2:206

"Education not being a branch of municipal government, but, like the other arts and sciences, an accident [i.e., attribute] only, I did not place it with election as a fundamental member in the structure of government." --Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1816. ME 15:45

"Education is here placed among the articles of public care, not that it would be proposed to take its ordinary branches out of the hands of private enterprise, which manages so much better all the concerns to which it is equal; but a public institution can alone supply those sciences which, though rarely called for, are yet necessary to complete the circle, all the parts of which contribute to the improvement of the country, and some of them to its preservation." --Thomas Jefferson: 6th Annual Message, 1806. ME 3:423

"The present consideration of a national establishment for education, particularly, is rendered proper by this circumstance also, that if Congress, approving the proposition, shall yet think it more eligible to found it on a donation of lands, they have it now in their power to endow it with those which will be among the earliest to produce the necessary income. The foundation would have the advantage of being independent on war, which may suspend other improvements by requiring for its own purposes the resources destined for them." --Thomas Jefferson: 6th Annual Message, 1806.

Democrats Target 401k and IRA Retirement Accounts
November 10, 2008


By Karen McMahan

Democrats in the U.S. House have been conducting hearings on proposals to confiscate workers' personal retirement accounts - including 401(k)s and IRAs - and convert them to accounts managed by the Social Security Administration. Triggered by the financial crisis the past two months, the hearings reportedly were meant to stem losses incurred by many workers and retirees whose 401(k) and IRA balances have been shrinking rapidly.


The testimony of Teresa Ghilarducci, professor of economic policy analysis at the New School for Social Research in New York, in hearings Oct. 7 drew the most attention and criticism. Testifying for the House Committee on Education and Labor, Ghilarducci proposed that the government eliminate tax breaks for 401(k) and similar retirement accounts, such as IRAs, and confiscate workers' retirement plan accounts and convert them to universal Guaranteed Retirement Accounts (GRAs) managed by the Social Security Administration.

Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., chairman of the House Committee on Education and Labor, in prepared remarks for the hearing on "The Impact of the Financial Crisis on Workers' Retirement Security," blamed Wall Street for the financial crisis and said his committee will "strengthen and protect Americans' 401(k)s, pensions, and other retirement plans" and the "Democratic Congress will continue to conduct this much-needed oversight on behalf of the American people."

Currently, 401(k) plans allow Americans to invest pretax money and their employers match up to a defined percentage, which not only increases workers' retirement savings but also reduces their annual income tax. The balances are fully inheritable, subject to income tax, meaning workers pass on their wealth to their heirs, unlike Social Security. Even when they leave an employer and go to one that doesn't offer a 401(k) or pension, workers can transfer their balances to a qualified IRA.

Zero percent. Those 401(k)s have already been appropriated by George W. Bush, your most beloved "free marketeer", in his socialist push to prop up capitalism by taking from the poor to keep the rich rich.

And besides, none of them pay taxes in the first place, right? ;)

I don't give a gorram what Bush41 said, I don't have to fall lock step in w/ everything he or any President says. I'd expect you to have the opinion that Diddy Bush was looking out for his BIG OIL buddies, by cutting down on the supply side of oil, so prices would stay higher than if drilling were allowed. That environmental stuff was just political cover, dontchya know ? Regardless, the world's changed since 1992, and I'm for more us of our resources. Thanks.

First, Bush has aquired zero of the 401(k)s.

As for Obama destroying my country ?

He wants to close Gitmo, and treat Islmao fascist terrorist as common criminals, affording them free legal service and the rights of full citizens instead of treating them like non uniformed war combatants.

Banning offshore oil drilling, even when a vast majority of Americans support it.

Reinstating Fed funds for Embryonic stem cells.

Raising taxes on, well, everyone, by letting the Bush tax cuts expire in 2010.

I don't have the time to post everything, that's a good start though.

Yes, cells from embryos. I know, I'm so heartless, especially now that cells drawn for things like pre-implant IVF testing have been successfully grown into stem cells with absolutely no harm done to the embryo. But even were that not the case, I would stick with my stand of heartlessness, because Alzheimer's is becoming an epidemic, one that doesn't kill those afflicted but leaves them incapable of caring for themselves, often placing an enormous burden on their families and the system as a whole for YEARS (yes, I've seen it, twice in my own family, so you can try to argue that point but will not win) ...because, since I support a right for a woman to chose the course of her life and body, since abortions would happen even if I didn't, there is NO good reason to not explore what those cells might offer as a second chance to someone whose life is slipping away, or someone who can't walk, or someone who's just in pain ...because I, personally, think the possibilities for fully developed people should not be limited by a rabid perceived notion about the sanctity of possibly unwanted, ten-cell organisms.
There are enough gorramn people on this planet. It's being devoured by all the people. We should make those lives as good as possible before we start screaming that more and more people should be born. The human race isn't going anywhere, we're quite prolific, we'll be fine.
So tell me again how wanting to increase the possibility of better lives for all... destroys the country?
And if, as you claim, it's all lies, then what exactly do you think it is? Just a fun excuse to poke around at cells and cause controversy? Really?

So what? It's not like Obama ever tried to hide his positions on those things. The people listened, and then they voted him in. Why can't you let the guy take the Oath and then do something before you condemn him? All you are doing here is crying like a fool; it's fucking sickening. You're really no better than the Bush haters we've suffered through for 8 years. Take a cue from Hannity and Limbaugh. They are supporting Obama as THEIR President and wishing him well. You can't do that for some reason? We lost, get over it. You gonna whine and cry for the next 4 years? Good grief! Grow up!

Here you're just spreading the usual right-wing bullshit. THAT is what is destroying this country - the stupidity of you and your kind.

There aren't "embryo farms". The embryos that ARE used to harvest stem cells are embryos that are NOT VIABLE FOR IMPLANTATION. In other words, they are medical waste at this point. They're NEVER going to grow into a human; they are the non-workable embryos from places like fertility clinics (or "baby farms" as you would put it, I suppose). The embryos that are being used WERE NEVER GOING TO BECOME A HUMAN BEING, NO MATTER WHAT. If they weren't used for stem cell research, they'd be flushed down the drain or thrown into the medical waste burn bag.

"25% of people polled are AFRAID of Obama as president. I suspect our anti-Obama people here are fear-driven, as SignyM has mentioned."

And 75% of people polled think Rue is an idiot.

And 85% think Rue should stop talking.

Although 13% liked to watch Rue make an ass of herself.

I like making up percentages too...its fun. Just like Rue and CNN.

Too bad the current Pres beat him to it, right?

Or - to be more seriouse - maybe "your" country should end. A majority of people have voted for a new direction.

Yes, following the recommendations of the Justice Department AND the Defense Department, who says we need a "law and order" approach to these people. How exactly does closing Gitmo "destroy the country"?

Banning offshore oil drilling, even when a vast majority of Americans support it.


Banning? Outright banning? NO offshore drilling, at all, ever? Or is he proposing to restrict and redefine offshore drilling?

Reinstating Fed funds for Embryonic stem cells.


Again, please explain in detail EXACTLY how this destroys the entire country. Pretty fucked up, fragile country you've got there if you think a bit of scientific research will utterly destroy it and cause it to crumble into nonexistence...



Like he's actually going to answer with the one thing he despises most - facts.

Chicken-shit cop-out of the day to Rappy.

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)


Quote:

Why not let EVERYONE have that choice ? We send the Gov't our $$ for education, why can't we take OUR $$ and put it towards the type of education we want for our kids ? You got something against FREEDOM ?



By the same token, why send the government money for defense spending, which takes 60 cents of every dollar of tax money taken in by the government? Why cant I take MY $$ and put it towards the type of defense I want for myself? You got something against FREEDOM?

Think I can get a voucher from the government to pay for my own defense of my little piece of America?

On the other hand, and just playing with extensions of your own logic... since I don't HAVE any kids, why should I have to pay a single penny into the education system at all, whether it be for public education OR for vouchers for private schools?

Thanks, Rose - I was hoping the irony in that post wouldn't be lost on everyone. But more importantly, it was an illustration of the "what's in it for ME?" mindset that seems to be so prevalent these days.

Me, I'm still waiting to hear from 'Craptor exactly, in detail, how it is that Obama has destroyed our entire nation.

Might be a long wait for a train don't come...
