WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama plans to create a special advisory council to recommend ways to boost the economic outlook and quality of life for the estimated 60 million people who live in rural areas of the U.S., a White House official said.

Obama was expected to sign an executive order Thursday establishing the White House Rural Council and naming Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, of Iowa, to be its chairman.

We do have over 50,000 black farmers, I’m told.

[Truth29]

Leave us alone and stop changing laws, rules, taxes, etc. etc. Go screw up some other country.

[cripplecreek]

Its always been hard to fool rural folks. All they’ll do is realize that we ignore the cute little mandates they issue from Washington and continue to do as we please.

[SERKIT]

The White Crib is bitterly clinging to old-school Chicago buy-en-off-with gubmint-programs politics, trying to attract the “bitter clingers” and their G*d and Guns. When will Barry show up in the sticks asking, a la John F’n Kerry (who served in Viet Nam, “Where can I get me a huntin’ license?”

[DJ MacWoW]

Bam needs to leave rural areas alone. My life is just peachy and I don’t need anymore of his interference.

[QualityMan]

They best stay the hell away from this rural Iowan, too (former michigander, of course) :)

[OkiMusashi]

Stay in town, CityBoy. We’ll let ya know if we need anything.

Oh, and don’t hold your breath.

[cripplecreek]

There isn't a damn thing they can add to my life.

“We’re going to improve your umm quality of life. All you need to do is register and ummm wear this Rural-American patch on your shirt so we can umm properly resettle you in a place where there is umm work.”

[SpaceBar]

we ignore the cute little mandates they issue from Washington and continue to do as we please.

Which is precisely why you will soon be swamped with Bamster's minions with clipboards to harass you and scrutinize your every move.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Improve our quality of life? Arrogant SOB.

[MCF]

I guess their first order of business will be to determine how many and what size SWAT teams to have. It seems like the governments answer to every problem.

[exbrit]

I live in rural AZ, right on the Mexico border, if the government wants to really help us rural folk, CLOSE THE D*** BORDER.

[PiperShade]

Oh !! Goody !! Do this mean us white farm folk get a $50K government check too ??? >PS

[GlockThe Vote]

Sounds like stalins ukrraine policy.

[Husker24]

Id say its a little more then 60 million.

[Noumenon]

In the immortal words of John Galt: “Get the hell out my way.”

Which is precisely why you will soon be swamped with Bamster's minions with clipboards to harass you and scrutinize your every move.

Well they'll have plenty to write LOL.

A few years back the county was trying to get the townships to impose anti burning ordinances. Almost every township said there was no point in bringing it up at meetings because the people would ignore the ordinance.

[rabidralph]

I live in Wisconsin and there are plenty of rural folks who voted for Obama.

[QualityMan]

nice. looks like largemouth country to me.

What lake is it? ( I am vaguely familiar with your neck of the woods..as you may recall....) I think we were born in the same (former) hospital...
