Is this political?

Is this political?

No, not unless he's brainwashing them to go out and campaign for him.

And is the following quote disturbing or what?

And my question is, currently 36 countries have universal health coverage, including Iraq and Afghanistan, which have it paid for by the United States.

Anyone else agree with Spicoli?
 
A politician PITCHING? Hmmmmmm
 
 
"President Barack Obama made a pitch for health care reform in a discussion with 40 freshmen at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Va."

What kind of political pull do you think 40 fourteen year olds have?

[NightmarePatrol]

not much, but how about the millions that will be voting in a few years?

[gore range]

....right where it has always been ....

Afghanistan has universal healthcare coverage? Anybody look at Afghanistan's universal healthcare coverage?

I don't wanna denigrate a 14 year old - but - well -the question was kinda silly . . . and it's not a question neither - it's kind of a mis-statement.

THIS is the most recent update to the Healthcare Bill (well - the policy options that would be incuded in it.) It's the Max Baucus plan. You can take the President's word for it - or read it yourself. I prefer the latter.

It's not that great.

Especially in the "revenue" production parts . . .
 
Cripes - you want an idea of how a government mind works - look at pages 33 - 39.
 
And these are the folks we want "managing" our healthcare?

Som of those 14 y.o.'s could very well be voting during the next presidential election.  Interesting age group to target. 

[Spicoli]

Yes it's a massive conspiracy!  Obama knows that 14 year olds are very chatty.  He figured if he could get just 40 of them on his side that they would tell their friends and then they would tell their friends and so on and so on..., virtually guaranteeing him reelection.

WASHINGTON — Fresh from a two-day weekend visit to Iraq, the Bush administration's top health-care official defended the $950 million that will be spent to help Iraq establish universal health care.

I was only saying it certainly could be an interesting target audience on a large scale.  I don't think that was what was happening yesterday in a room with 40 kids.   I have a 15 y.o. son who will be voting in the next election....we don't think of them as voters now......BUT - it will be here before we know it!

You miss the point if you are looking at the numbers of students he talked to.....( remember the analogy... "while you look at his left hand, you are ignoring his right". It is the fact that politicking in a public school (any tax funded building) is not exactly "kosher".
 
And good point on the "14-15" year olds. Voting age is NOT 21 anymore. If youth are as interested in politics as many claim.... an "informed" 14-15 year old can be potent in 3-4 years. Right now, us Gray Hairs seem to be the participants of number and growing. "Rock On Boomers!!!!!!"
 
Now... if numbers are relative to you .... remember this...
 
"Kill one man and you are a murderer. Kill millions and you are a conqueror. Kill everyone and you are a God."

puff mentioned the golden rule... i agree. another way to see it is expressed as follows... (this ought to be a warning to us as individuals as well as a comfort to us regarding the practices that defile truth and decency.)

Retribution often means that we eventually do to ourselves what we have done unto others.

things will work out the way they are supposed to. in the end.

The literature passed out at that High school turned out to be from a pro-life group.
