But that's the whole point. Why would he want to talk about the money that he's wasting and the poor economy he's created? This is an ideal distraction for his base of voters.

****ing ridiculous that people ITT are saying this isn't racist.

Can you ****ing seriously imagine a latino women calling this office, conversation goes like this:

Ms Sanchez: Hola mi nino needs ayudar con el educaciones
Obama: Is he black
Ms Sanches: no, hay espanolez
Obama: sorry, this office doesn't serve your kind

YEAH NOT RACIST AT ALL


Red herring! Ridiculous hypothetical and I will not respond to this!

Lolz....is that what you think this "office" is going to be? Like some place only black people can go and learn?

It's obv going to be people trying to find out why black people are not doing as well and what can be done to fix it. You can call that racist....but that is a bizarre non pejorative form of racism that isn't at all what people mean when they say racist.

Oh you know how much this costs already? Who is worthy of receiving benefit because you care about them? Or am I just being trolled by now?

I'll take it another step further.

I am not pissed off that tax money, a fund to which I contribute, is being used for something that is bad. This turns out to actually be the straw that broke the camels back so to speak. I have been pissed off about enough other programs that I see this, decide enough is enough, and go on a shooting rampage. Er, that would be more ammunition for the anti-gun crowd so lets say I go and build a whole bunch of bombs, blow up a few buildings and a bunch of people die. Is this bad? Does it mean the program is bad?

No, I have no idea how much it will cost but I can tell you it will be lots. What is lots? This program could cost 20 dollars. That is still lots to me.

I agree my premise is laughable to you. That doesn't make it any better or worse than yours.
