Obama mocks McCain: "By next week he'll be calling me a secret communist because I shared my toys in kindergarten."
By SilentPatriot Wednesday Oct 29, 2008 10:00am
Senator Obama was in full mockery mode today at his rally in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Deep down, John McCain knows his economic theories don't work. That's why his campaign said if we keep talking about the economy, we're going to lose. That's why I keep on talking about the economy. They don't want to talk about the economy. But that's what you want to talk about. That's what affects your lives day in and day out. Now, because he knows his economic theories don't work, he's been spending these last few days calling me every name in the book. Lately he's called me a socialist for wanting to roll back the bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans so we can give some tax relief to the middle class. I don't know what's next. By next week he'll be calling me a secret communist because I shared my toys in kindergarten. I shared my peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Look, that's his choice. That's the kind of campaign he chooses to run. But you have a choice, too.
It would be even funnier if it weren't true. Case in point: Neal Boortz in the digital pages of World Nut Daily, arguing that public schools are brainwashing children into embracing communism. I kid you not.
The students are seated, the bell rings. As fast as you can say the Pledge of Allegiance without the "under God" part, the indoctrination begins. The government teacher steps in front of her virtual hostages and promptly delivers the first raw lesson in the power of government. The students are instructed to bring all of their precious school supplies – their property – to the front of the classroom and put them into a huge box. They are told that the supplies belong to all of the class now, and the teacher will assume the responsibility of distributing the supplies as they are needed.
"Whoaa! Hold on a minute here! These are my supplies. My daddy bought them for me. You can't have them! They're mine!"
Nope. Sorry! They were yours. Now all those supplies belong to – guess who? The government!
Behold the leading lights of the modern "intellectual" conservative movement.

Great quote! LOL! And he's probably right too! mcsame would say anything.
And have you seen this? Apparently mcsame finally found his last best chance for votes...
http://www.jedreport.com/2008/10/john-mccains...
Initially I was luke warm about Obama. I voted for him because a) Biden had dropped out; and b) I couldn't bring myself to vote for Hillary (no political dynasties please!). I also thought, oh well even if Obama doesn't win we could do worse than McCain.
But unlike most politicians whose shine starts to wear thin with time, Obama just keeps impressing me. No, he doesn't have the experience, but over and over again he has shown integrity and has risen to real leadership!
When the Rev Watshisname's scandal broke, instead of slinging mud back at the other side, or sidestepping the issue of race in america he addressed it head on.
When the economic crisis struck he did not freak out and 'suspend' his campaign. He calmly and cooly addressed the issue at hand (didn't like the way he voted btw but thats' a seperate issue).
When the other side started using race baiting tactics he didn't take the bait.
When they started in with this pathetic 'commie' baiting tactic he's responded perfectly -- with humor. Mel Brooks once said that the only way to deal with tyrants is to laugh them into oblivion.
Unlike Bush and McLame who have been spooking the herd in a time of economic crisis, Palin who's been mobilizing the crazies, and McCain who's been creating horrible divisions in our country on racial, political and economic lines Obama has show true LEADERSHIP by trying to create UNITY.
I don't want a leader who will abandon his morals and principles just to gain power (McCain)
I don't want a leader who flails around wildly when things start to go wrong (McCain)
I don't want a leader who will panic in a time of crisis (McCain)
Obama is the dude!
Where McCain says Obama isn't ready to be President...YET.
David Schuster was just speaking to Mike Barnacle? and his interpretation of the ad was this: "McCain's saying to the voters who prefer Obama, Hey! Even though you like Obama, just give me this one chance to be President for four years THEN you can have Obama."
OMG. This is going to be the longest six days of my life waiting for this election.
If it were, this country would be in pretty good shape.
AMEN!
your pencils?
in England. This year my little boy started school. I went to the school to enquire about the uniform, filling out forms, the usual grown up stuff. I then asked where the list of school supplies was and the secretary told me the school provides them. Now as I can afford school supplies, it made no difference to me if I had to buy them. But there are children whose parents can't afford pencils and notebooks. I wouldn't mind if we had to buy school supplies to share amongst the class. Sounds like a good way to teach to me. Man, these people are sick. Once again, Obama shows he is one classy guy.
I don't know what schools the World Net Daily writers went to, but at my school, students are encouraged to bring their own school supplies. But where the hell did this box come from? I don't even touch their supplies without permission (no, really: if I'm going to look at their super cool multi-color pen, I make sure to ask if I can first). Students who cannot afford to bring their own supplies are welcome to use mine. They might get a boring old #2 pencil that I loaned to someone else first, but it writes and it erases.
Good enough for me but not for my kids!!! The republican mantra. I love how these goons all decry public ed though I'd bet dollars to doughnuts most of these idiots have a public education background.
IDIOTS.
The end of the republican party as we have know it is upon us. Good riddance.
A great article title, "How these gibbering numbskulls came to dominate Washington" from the Guardian UK:
So that's what the Repukes mean by "class warfare."
"The students are instructed to bring all of their precious school supplies – their property . . "
Do people really read this drivel on a regular basis???
...that quite often it is the teachers who are paying out of their own pockets for supplies for the kids.
Commie bastards!
Absolutely true. I discovered last month how much scotch tape costs (each table gets their own tape dispenser, since I don't think they should have to fight over supplies)
The desperate cries of socialism by McGramps are the last gasps of a dying campaign.
Obama is a secret communist murderer!! Doesn't he know how many kids die from peanut butter? Obama is killing our children!
p.s. Did you know Obama is gay?
p.p.s Did you know Obama is a Muslim plant with a tracking device installed into his head. That's why his hair is so short...no reception otherwise.
You forgot the "dirty bomb" in his belly.
...Whole Story? During his time as a career politician, Barack Obama has used his office to benefit his family and reward his friends with political favors. Who Is Barack Obama??
Barack Obama. Not Who You Think He Is."
This is the basic crap on the hate mail I received today from the Republican Party of Pennsylvania. I also received a new robocall this morning, saying pretty much the same thing, that Obama must be a criminal because he has been associated with Tony Rezko.
Gee, I guess that must make McCain a criminal too, because of his assocaition with Cindy Lous' Daddy (a convicted felon) and Charles Keating - just for starters.
Tuesday can't get here fast enough!!
Example: According to "The Nation", Paulson's bailout plan is using taxpayer's money, $125 Billion for bank stock that a private investor could purchase for $62.5 Billion. That means half of the public's money was a straight out gift to Wall Street for which taxpayers got nothing in return." Is their shame button missing?
None of us--likely including Boortz--knows the whole story in this school case, but I would not be in the least surprised if the teacher were demonstrating what happens under a collectivist government. Leave it to WorldNutDaily.
That was my thought as well. I've seen teachers do similar things when preparing the class for a Holocaust unit, for example, by treating all of the kids wearing a certain color shirt or with a certain color hair or whatever differently from the other kids. It often helps the students get a better understanding of what the historical situation was like if they can get a small sample of it in some form.
...right?? He made this crap up!!
You think he's spent any time in an emlementary school recently observing the kiddies learning communism ?? C'mon.
Obama's line is great -- agree completely with that and McCain's desperate attack lines.
But Boortz is right -- I remember having to share supplies in elementary school (and I remember not particularly enjoying that). My mother is a school teacher now--I know in her school parents must buy the list of school supplies and these are delivered straight to the teacher. The teacher is then responsible for dividing it up among the kids throughout the year. (For example, each kid does not get their own box of crayons, but a table might share them for a month until they lose them, and then they are given a new box to share). I guess it helps with sharing; not sure about personal responsibility.
Call me an elitists, but I would have preferred my own box of crayons. But I wouldn't have minded a tax on my parents though to make sure low-income students had their own too.
Our founding fathers enacted a system of public education in the late 1700s when they included a clause into the Northwest Ordiance to fund and provide for public education.
This issue was addressed in the South during Reconstruction when the Freedmans Bureau built public schools all across the South for both White and Black children.
Secular public education has always been something that our government and society has completely embraced.
It just kills me to see these conservatives attack the idea of public education. I don't understand why they are promoting ideas that predate the Enlightenment.
They're unelightened - a.k.a., ignorant (root word "ignore" as in ignore knowledge)?
pretty much recognized that a democratic republic cannot exist long without an educated, informed electorate.
Unfortunately, the arrogant, greedy, cretins who run our country also know that.
This scenario he describes doesn't exist anywhere but in his own mind. Also, this "under god" bullshit is tiring. Doesn't he know that was added in the 50s? Doesn't he know that the pledge was changed? These wackos never change. How are you supposed to even engage these people with thoughtful debate?
The goal is to abolish public education in favor of private. Then the privatization will be taken away from the poor. These people don't want education for the poor. Period. They won't be happy until that day comes. I really hate these scumbags.
...if they had their d'ruthers, they don't even want poor people to live!! That's why they restrict health care along with education.
--as slaves. That's why we're competing with the Third World for jobs.
...but just not so darn many of us!
We will come back in four years, if we haven't imploded and see how much of the Corporate agenda has been served in the interim.
The joke is on us.
The Corporations are International and beyond the reach of any country.
Obama could have avoided all this if he had agreed to do ten town hall meetings with McCain. But since he didn't, he's a communist and socialist and black man and Muslim and everything else the republicans find scary.
That always cracked me up. I translate that little piece of reslug theater as "If you had just gone along with the plan to crush you early we wouldn't have had to crush you later on."
I recall Steve Martin’s “Roxanne” movie, when Charlie was telling Chris what to say underneath Roxanne’s balcony.
“Tell her you’re afraid of WORDS”
“Ok…”
“I’m afraid of worms Roxanne – WORMS!”
These people are not only afraid of words, they don’t even know what the words mean.
McCain's nonsensical labels and lurching themes are making him look like a an old fool. He's delusional at best/severely mentally deranged at worst - pick your poison! McCain's brain isn't working up to speed these days and it's showing and making a buffoon out of him in the last days of this campaign.
His campaign has become a metaphor for the "real McCain" - totally unhinged and all 4 wheels have come off.
One would have hoped that he'd realize that the only thing he's accomplished is that he's become a pathological liar, a worthless moron, and an honorless buffoon running the sleaziest campaign ever in the history of this country and will now leave the political scene looking worthless and disrespected.
The political capital garnered by his supposed POW hero status (which is also now questionable) has been trumped by McCain, the Purveyor of Sleaze, the Race-Baiter, the Lurching Fraud.
We've witnessed the rise and fall of other political stars over the decades but none have risen so high and then fallen so low (**by their own hand & deeds) than John Sydney McCain.
For a minute there Obama sounded like Bill Cosby. And I mean that in a complimentary way.
McCain is using a fu*king plumber to get his message out. Doesn't that tell you all you need to know just days before the most important election of our lives.
They are using themes like Joe the Plumber and Tito the Builder, instead of talking about the many serious problems facing our nation. I mean if this weren't so damned serious it would fu*king be hysterically funny.
..his choice of Miss Sarah as his running mate and (BOB FORBID..) the next in line to be President when he croaks! A woman who gives public education a bad rep..!!
people are sick.
I can't believe you would use McCain's age against him.
That's what alot of Democrats say;
"He'll probably die in office."
That is a pathetic excuse.
McCain's age matters because of his selection of a running mate. If he dies in office, here comes President Palin. I think I'd go for a President Quayle before a President Palin.
Someday science may discover how the Republicans went from being just mildly stupid (in the Eisenhower days) to being mad as hatters and the biggest dumbf*cks on the planet. Maybe getting into power fried their brains.

I have news for Mr. Boortz; this is already happening. My son started kindergarten this year, and we began the year with a large list given to us by the school of supplies to buy that would be used by the ENTIRE CLASS. Everyone's parents got a list. Not because they are socialist, but because they HAVE NO MONEY.
Bravo, Bush. Bravo.
Maybe you should post that on his website...then again he'd just use you as an example of the "influence of the left".
My daughter also started kindergarten and we all had to bring in boxes of tissues and wipes for ALL the children to use...if it wasn't for this, the poor teacher would be spending her own money on the supplies the children use the most. Socialist - no, common sense - YES!
And let them call my daughter a socialist -- I'm proud she shares her toys!
come on, now - everyone knows that Ashley Todd was a paid employee of the McCain Campaign who was moved from Texas to Pa. - ironically, just in time to work with McCain officials and concoct this outlandish story - which is now proven to be a hoax - and which Peter Feldman, Chair of McCain campaign in Pa. criminally worked up with Ashley Todd.
It's time for McCain to make a statement which should have been made days ago. Why has he remained mute?
Because John McCain was in on it from the beginning and, as such, could be sucked into this criminal investigation along with his cohort, Peter Feldman.

The congressmen are seated, the gavel falls. As fast as you can pledge to defend the Consitution, without the "actually meaning it" part, the indoctrination begins. The Vice President steps in front of his virtual hostages and promptly delivers the first raw lesson in the power of government. The congressmen are instructed to bring all of their constituents taxpayer's dollars – their constituents property – to the front of the Senate and put them into a huge lockbox. They are told that the supplies belong to all of the banks now, and the Administration will assume the responsibility of distributing the money as he sees fit.
"Whoaa! Hold on a minute here! These are our constituents dollars. My constituents were forced at gunpoint by the IRS to hand them over. You can't have them! They're ours!"
Nope. Sorry! They were yours. Now all those supplies belong to – guess who? The Bush Administration!
Next the Administration hands the money to their cronies in Oil companies, Weapons and Defense contractors, Insurance companies, Drug companies, and Financial companies. They're shocked to find that the 52% of the constituents are now voting them out of office for being a lying pack of weasels.
I'm shocked that the Republican Party hasn't been banned from public office by an enraged populace for causing the Great Depression... again!
Love when the Reslugs show their absolutely proven ignorance, stupidity and that they are habitual liars.
If Al Gore won the election back in 2000,(which he did)and continued Bill Clinton's policies, would we have invaded Iraq? Would we still be fighting a war in Afghanistan? Would the economic meltdown have occured? Would our prestiege as a world leader have declined? Would we have paid $4 a gallon for gas? And lastly would Barack Obama be running for president? I know it's moot point nowadays, but sometimes I wonder.
have had 9/11 - so the rest, logically, would not have occurred.
I personally think that 9-11 was going to happen regardless of who was president. It is how the situation was to be handled that I think would have been different.
"Would the economic meltdown have occured? "
Probably yes. The meltdown was due to deregulation or non-regulation of CDS's and the non-regulation of commodities markets and various lax and non-existent regulations. Phil Gramm slipped in language into an omnibus spending bill signed by Bill Clinton --- lame duck at the time the 10,000 page bill was signed --- on 21 dec 2000.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodity_Future...
Essentially Phil Gramm slipped in 262 pages of law that removed the barries preventing CDS's. CDS's are insurance policies on credit issued by banks and right now there are banks are levereged more in CDS's than in actual credit meaning banks, and other institutions thanks to Phil Gramm, owe more monies in the form of insurance polices than the value of the assets being insured. Imagine if you had $12 in your pocket, well in todays market that $12 would be insured for $60. Hmmmm how in the hell does that happen???
When the system works banks don't fail and CDS's don't come into play; however, when banks do fail the reaper man comes a'call'n. The law that unleashed this monster was enacted 8 years ago. Along with the Phil Gramm murder the economy act of 2000 you have a weak willed congress that didn't want or couldn't act (Republicans have effectively put the kybosh on re-regulating industries and I don't think that would have changed under Gore).
I don't think Gore could have stopped this. Gore might have handled it better. Gore might have seen the problem earlier on --- that's assuming Bush's admin didn't see it long ago and just let it fest to crisis stage in order to get $$$ out of the system that otherwise would never have come from the American tax payer. I don't think the latter is the case because provisions were placed into the system to punish exec's a little and taxpayers have become stockholders which flies in the face of the free market goons.
I don't think Gore could have stopped the crash because the system was set up to be unstable --- think ball on a hill. The ball will stay at the top of the hill unless something happens. A little nudge and the ball rolls down the hill gaining speed as it goes. That's what we saw with this crisis. The ball in the valley scenario --- if the ball is disturbed it always rolls back to a stable position at the bottom of the valley --- is how the system was set up before Phil the destroyer and his 262 page amendment f'ed things up.
Phil Gramm set a financial time bomb unfortunately. I'll cut Bush a little slack for this one --- but just a little.
My 24 cents not yours.
All your crayonz is belong to Obama!
Your daddy bought them? Then they're not really your pencils, are they, now? You're just another right-wing welfare cheat. I suppose he bought your clothes and your food as well. Did you pay for them? I didn't think so. Out of my school and off to the textile mills with you, freeloader.
my daddy ever buying school supplies. Mommy, yes. Well, maybe Daddy did once, but Mommy stopped him because my sister and I would completely hose the poor guy and get expensive Trapper Keepers and stuff we didn't need. Or he would bring stuff from work, it's been so long ago, I can't remember.
Hey, Neil, too late - for all the years my kids were in public grade school I sent supplies that were collected by the teacher and doled out as needed - paper, pencils, Kleenex, glue sticks, everything. And they are now 25 and 29.
Boortz writes it as if everyone is caught by surprise by this "confiscation". In reality everyone knows that the supplies are for the class.
I just heard someone whining on tv about the amount of money Obama has spent for this thirty minute ad tonight. The lady said he should have donated that money to the food banks of America.
What that lady missed was that people like you and me donated that money to Obama to do what his campaign thought best to get him elected. Something else that skipped right through that lady's brain was that many of us also donate to our local food pantries. I know I do monthly, I have to wonder if that lady ever has.
Wait, does that make me a socialist? Since I give money and food to a local pantry and they redistribute it among those who need it?
you're stepping into dangerous territory there... :)
Strange that kindness now equals socialism, huh?!
I thought it sounded a little ugly when McCain accused Obama of wanting fairness when he was on MTP.
....it sounds like > Being a Christian!
These republicans are worried about the government taking their kids pencils but have no problem leaving them a ten trillion dollar debt. Anyone see anything absurd about this?
and has become unhinged! What an idiot! and what stoopid blathering he goes on about... Neal, time for your meds!
She spends her own money to buy supplies that the school can't afford to provide.
The same is true of my daughter-in-law, also a teacher.
Neal Boortz you fucking yellow elephant. If I ever see you face to face I WILL teach you something you should have learned long ago.
help you teach that fucktard the lesson?
With pleasure. He looks kind of scrawny but there's probably enough to go around.
Probably a hopeless endeavor. I think Boortz is one of those children that should have been left behind and any effort trying to impart knowledge is unlikely to be successful. However, certain techniques might be fun in and of themselves
If I ask my boss for a raise, therefore trying to redistribute the wealth, does that make me an anti-American socialist?
Next week McCain will be calling Obama 'President-Elect'.
Ya I know I shouldn't say that yet but it was just hanging out there.
Maybe the question should be would there still be two skyscrapers standing in NYC if Gore were in office. The Bush administration had all the information they just didn't "connect the dots" (their own pathetic excuse---do you think for a minute that if a Democrat had offered up an answer like that he wouldn't have been dragged out of the White House?)
This was meant as a reply to Shoeless' post above. (damned new system!)
Guy is a world class idiot, he's a 'self described' libertarian (mind you not in practice, just in radio rhetoric) has a token 'black republican' who chimes in (clearly a self hater in the JC Watts/Alan Keyes mold) and is the BFF of one of the most insanely moronic congress reps in this country, John "trust me it will be a 23% sales tax" Linder. Together Linder & Boortz cooked up this bag of magic beans called the 'fair tax', which you could put into the realm of integrity/reality somewhere between the tooth fairy & the midas touch...
Boortz's mindless/hapless crusade on behalf of the privatization of public education is well documented, and his bias is unflappable. Which is interesting when you consider he was publicly educated his entire life (including a shining C- minus GPA in graduating from High School) until he 'received his law degree' from a private institution in Atlanta (a part time law school that was provisionally accredited by the Bar Association in 2005...after Boortz 'graduated' which was in 1977).
Basically, he's the guy that promises you that the used car you're buying has NEVER been in a wreck.
As for McCain....the rats on his sinking ship are trying to find ANYTHING to float on...
Boortz is such an unapologetic moron. I don't know what school system he was talking about, but here in the Volunteer State, you're much more likely to have teachers using their own money to buy supplies for students who don't have them.
this is true all over the country. My sister teaches in Texas. It's the same story, she has to buy her own supplies.
white folks are worried that welfare will be given to blacks and these jokers are stoking that.
Reagan started all this with his "welfare queen" myth-- The Repugs message since then has been "They're giving money to Nee-groes!"
Notice how they defend Sarah Palin taking from the oil companies and giving $3200.00 checks to all Alaskans. The hypocrisy is reaching new heights. Or depths..
obama surrogates should come back swinging on this. bill clinton should call mccain and palin's lies on this. no more mccain is a hero blah blah. this is just dishonorable of mccain and he should be called on it.
This was supposed to be a reply to Wed, 10/29/2008 - 11:50 — New_Damage
There were in the pre-New Deal days of the robber barons, 16-hour workdays, and coal miner company stores. You know; America's glorious capitalist paradise that Reagan tried to resurrect.
And what exactly is the difference between the repug's economic baby 'tickle-down' theory and economic communism? They both work exactly same way, The few have all the money and the rest 'hope' for a piece.
The irony and hypocrisy of repug's calling Dem's communists would make my head explode (further).
If the Repubs description of trickle-down is "supply side" lest I remind you that Supply Side IS the basic tenet of communism. Capitalism is a DEMAND economy. Communism is a SUPPLY economy.
Capitalists believe in a market that is created by demanders and suppliers. If demanders don't want something suppliers don't .... suppply them! Think Betamax... demanders didn't want ... Sony now makes VHS!
Communists believed that the suppliers produce what goods in what quantity... and demanders get to choose from is made available.
The only difference between trickle down and communism, is in the decision-making ... Communism - the govt gives the money and then decides what is made. In TDE the govt giveth and private companies decide. Still has NOTHING to do with the demanders.
Apparently Comrade Obama shared his toys in kindergarten.
His words. Not mine.
And in kindergarten?? Yep. Those commies sure start young. Practicing Marxism before they even know how to SPELL it. Almost like it's genetically stamped into them.
Wake UP, America!
Commie at 5, blowing up shit as a domestic terrorist at 8. Sweet Jeebus, I knew it!
That's right,the Nazis, I just made that one up too.
Actually kindergarten is German for children's garden. So the word if not the program is Kraut.
Another clueless, childless(?) elitist. The teacher doesn't want to spend the rest of the term having to referee arguments about who's pencil is who's and "I can't find *my* pencil", etc. What a dork!
We are in our present state,(and will remain so) due to the control of information to the citizens,via our so called news media. Most people believe that the news media has to tell the truth, (I saw it on TV so it must be true) People like kristol and will and brooks are not news people, they are story tellers, paid to write stories. The people must have honest,true and correct information. truth is truth,everything else is someones opinon. Look at the wide range of views between someone who gets their news from only the MSN and someone who goes out side that frame. Ignorance is expensive, it has already cost us our pension plans, our health care, our rights, you name it and ingorance in some form or other has cost us that item. Nothing will change untill we change the way information is spread. Revamp PBS away from gov to the hands of the people, with what ever it takes to make sure that at least one network MUST vet all info for truth and only hard facts, in other words,I saw it on PBS last nite so I know the truth, the propaganda networks can give any bullshit story they want, but if it broadcast on PBS it must be fact checked and re fact checked for truth, no opinons,facts ,just the facts. We can no longer afford to support the ignorance of the citizens, and less so the "willfully ignorant", which is my word for dumb-ass, hick.-CEO,citizens,eyes,open
....always relative.
Its ok, Obama, these people would have called the Twelve Disciples communist sympathizers, too. See Acts 2:44-45.
They'd also have been calling Jesus a peacenik pinko who would rather turn the other cheek than stand up to terrorists were he around today, of course.
this total horse-crap sells to the lumpen-White folks out there in fly-over land, where there's a corn-field (field of dreams?) sculpted to the likeness of Sarah Palin's face...
these folks--and there are countless millions of 'em--would elect Palin queen, or anything else just to shove her, like the plunger-handle she is--up the ass of condescending coastal Murka...
Believe it, PLEASE...
As fast as you can say the Pledge of Allegiance without the "under God" part, the indoctrination begins.
No, the indoctrination begins with the Pledge of Allegiance, not right after.
Funny how in the same period of the early 50's Under God was added to the Pledge of Allegiance
And changing the Superman credo from "Fighting for Truth and Justice" to The American Way as well.
Wow that Neil Boortz is an idiot. NOTHING like that happens in school and the author knows it, however in an effort to scare his uneducated braindead readers he will write it anyway.
Lawls, what a freaking moron, i can't believe people can be THAT stupid and still run a blog...
A child willingly sharing his toys doesn't make him a socialist
Just a wussy.
Uh, like, what is the pledge of allegiance if not indoctrination?
My now ex-wife .. was a HS teacher ... My family budget for her school supplies literally reached into the high hundreds... nearly a $1000 was spent to provide her students (nearly 200!) various supplies. Everything from little calculators, scissors, 20 bottles of dish detergent was this experiment, 200 packets of jello for that one ... etc.
One time, she was required to include a book report (in Biology) in her lesson plan. Did the school provide books? Uhh... 'course not. I remember driving to every Goodwill, Salvation Army, used book store, etc. for weeks to find 40 copies of The Hot Zone (about Ebola)... And folks, that is a growing, relatively wealthy community.
We have some serious priority problems in this country. God, I hope Obama can move people in the 'left' direction! Yes he can...
