Obama: "Wealthy" ignore poverty, send kid to private schools

[Delta4Embassy]

The poverty situation is like mentioned in "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"

"...And this of course made lots of people very rich. But this was normal and nothing to be ashamed of because no one was really poor. At least, no one worth speaking of."

The poor aren't worth speaking of, have no lobbyists, and the only time we hear about them are when some millionaire looking to get something brings them up. But in so doing only looks like Marie Antoinette in a $10,000 ball gown bemoaning the poor starving children from the receiving line at a $1000 a plate political dinner.

It seems he sends his kids to private school but doesn't ignore poverty. It's the "ignore poverty" part that is the bad thing here.

Nice spin.

There's no spin to it, even in this thread you people are more concerned with private schools than poverty.

You think Obama and this administration cares about poverty?

Really?

Remind us, Ears, where do your daughters attend school? There are many reasons our children attend private schools and "ignoring" poverty isn't one of them. This asshole is clueless

OBAMA: WEALTHY IGNORE POVERTY BY SENDING KIDS TO PRIVATE SCHOOLS

During a conversation about poverty, President Obama said he was concerned that more wealthy people were separated from poverty because they chose to frequent private institutions instead of public ones.

“Part of what’s happened is, is that elites in a very mobile, globalized world are able to live together, away from folks who are not as wealthy, and so they feel less of a commitment to making those investments,” he explained during a panel discussion on poverty at Georgetown University today.

Obama criticized the free-market system in America for allowing higher concentrations of wealth to exist among the rich while the bottom percentage was being left behind and receiving a smaller portion of that wealth.

“Those who are doing better and better, more skilled, more educated, – luckier – having greater advantages are withdrawing from the commons,” he said. “Kids start going to private schools, kids start working out at private clubs instead of the public parks, an anti-government ideology then disinvests from those common goods and those things that draw us together.”

Obama Wealthy Ignore Poverty By Sending Kids To Private Schools - Breitbart

Never mind the gross hypocrisy of this millionaire who lives in a 2.5M house in Chicago and sends his kids to the toniest school in DC lecturing about the wealthy. He's complaining about the very reason that people want to get rich: precisely to be insulated from the crime and violence of low income areas and provide safe and good education for their kids. And it's always been like that. This is nothing new. The free market system is not responsible for higher concentrations of wealth: his policies are responsible for that. They have made it harder to start and expand business, keeping the wealthy wealthy and discouraging the middle class from moving up.
He is a total bungler and absolutely clueless. Who thought this man was presidential material?

In our case we have to be more worried, it's our children's future. I've see the results of public education under liberals....no thanks

You'er fucking kidding,r ight? The poor get shoved down our throats by every two bit left wing commie asshole running for office who panders to votes by appealing to them.

 

[jknowgood]

It's more division from a clueless jackass

The only division here is the giant hole where the middle class used to be, not that you give a shit about that when there are billionaires asses to be kissed.

Last I saw, your guy has been in office for the last six years and that problem has gotten worse.

I wonder how many college educations one of Obama's vacations could provide for "the poor"?

I dont think so. I think they really know Obama is a failure. But they arent motivated by love of Obama and the Dems. They are motivated by hatred and envy of the GOP and the successful. Every one of them would much rather bitch about the Republicans than tell us how great Dems are and how successful they've been. A sad bitter failed lot.

Exactly, it's jealousy and envy. For most of them they have sat around, never applying themselves and life left them behind, now they want the government to level the playing field and it will never haappen

They can't admit Obama is a failure.

Too emotionally invested in the historical first (partially) black President.

Too emotionally invested in the historical first (partially) black President.

Too invested in the idea that whatever Obama hs done or not done the GOP must be worse. They could never admit that GOP policies benefit middle class and working class people far more than Democrat policies do. Even though this has been shown over and over and over. Instead they focus on how much better the upper income levels do.
It is exactly as Lady Thatcher said: They would rather the poor be poorer as long as the rich are less rich. It's all about sticking it to people they dont like.
