Endless Gifts From Uncle Obama
American Spectator ^ | 1/21/2015 | Ben Stein

Bread and circuses — and free day care — at the State of the Union.

-snip-

Tonight, Alex and I watched Mr. Obama’s SOTU speech. It was great. Give everyone free day care. Who pays for it? Where do they find enough qualified day-care workers? Where do they train them?

Everyone gets free education. Wait. Isn’t public education up through high school already free? And the ones who need it most, the blacks and Hispanics, drop out at terrifying rates. Who will make them stay in school and do their homework? Who pays for this? And where do the teachers come from?

He promises free goodies to the non-rich, and that’s fine, but who will pay for it? Or does he just add to the deficit? I guess he does. I keep thinking, “Panem et circenses” — and free day care. Endless gifts from Uncle Sam's endless bounty! That’s his program for all of his voters.

And what’s with Obama and the Gay Marriage thing? He says the fight is all over. If that’s true, why is he bringing it up? If that’s true, why is the Supreme Court hearing a case about it? I love gay people. Almost everyone I know is gay. But why is Mr. Obama so obsessed with them if their fight is won?

-snip-

Still, I sure would not want to be him, and have to answer to his constituency. Hard to please, aren’t they, Mister President? To think that civilization rests on a reed such as Barack Obama: terrifying.

Yeah I’ve read some of Kitty Werthmann’s writings. The left hates her in ways that are indescribable. Just a quick search of her name brings up page after page of hate directed at her.

Are you an Obama plant?

If the House would do its duty and file Articles of Impeachment Obama...

That must be number one of the list of Futile Political Gestures.

That will achieve what as we move forward to victory?
