Earth to Obama

In a speech Saturday at a Harvard Law School event, Obama said the president should be held accountable for fixing the problems of poverty the hurricane brought to light.

Somebody call Obama and let him know that he is a senator now, that its his job to "fix" poverty. Then remind him that anti-poverty spending is up 42% under president Bush. At least Obama has some ideas, and not just complaints, like so many others. Ex:

And we should make New Orleans a model for what is possible. Why not take every young man and woman in the 9th Ward who didn't have a job and train them in environmental cleanup? And then train them in construction. And don't rebuild the schools. They weren't teaching our children to compete. Let's give teachers bonuses to go down there and teach excellence.

I'm in Environmental clean up, what is Obama trying to do, kill off some of the 9th ward, thats what will happen, then he will blame Bush and give the survivors some cash. Then have him ask the Unions if they like the idea of "every man in the 9th ward being trained in construction," but the Dems will probable require that they join the unions and pay their dues, to both the Dems and the Union.
