President Noselfawareness denounces parents who send their children to private schools and join private clubs

By Thomas Lifson

The president who sends his kids to the ultra-elite Sidwell Friends School and hasn’t been seen playing a public golf course in many years beclowned himself yesterday.  Susan Jones of CNS News writes:

President Barack Obama told a gathering at Georgetown University on Tuesday that the problem isn't racial segregation, it's wealth segregation, manifested by "elites" who "are able to live together, away from folks who are not as wealthy."

 

"Kids start going to private schools," he said. (Just as he did and his own kids do.)

Once upon a time, the president noted, a banker lived in "reasonable proximity" to the school janitor; the janitor's daughter may have dated the banker's son; they may have attended the same church, rotary club, and public parks -- "all the things that stitch them together...contributing to social mobility and to a sense of possiblity and opportunity for all kids in that community."

But now "concentrations of wealth" have left some people less committed to investing in programs that benefit the poor:

"And what's happened in our economy is that those who are doing better and better -- more skilled, more educated, luckier, having greater advantages -- are withdrawing from sort of the commons -- 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. And that, in part, contributes to the fact that there's less opportunity for our kids, all of our kids."

But of course he was talking about other people, so he sees nothing wrong with this declaration.

As a lot of other people have said, he's completely tone deaf.  He thinks if he says it everyone will bow and scrape and say, yes, sir, without even a little bit of critical thinking being applied to what he says.
