Roanoke Times, 8-30-2012, Pg 10: Obama campaigns in Charlottesville (Home of UVa “The University”). Happy Picture of Students and supporters cheer Obama during a rally Wednesday PM in downtown Charlottesville.

Obama sure sounds a lot like: Bob Marley - Don't Worry be Happy

But: how happy will these young people be when:
The can’t get a job commensurate with their college education and loans?
They don't have a career -- just lucky to get a job?
They find out what “deducts” are when they do get a job?
They realize it’s them that are going to pay off the Obama $16 TRILLION debt?
They realize that Obama has degraded our country and economy into a third-world entity kowtowing to his friends in China and Russia?

Obama, just like the Pied Piper just doesn’t get around to telling young people the cost and adverse consequences of his policies and actions.

But: Don’t Worry be Happy!

And just like Evita he buys gullible people with bribes and “bait and switch” gimmicks that result in more dependency, more taxes, more government controls and less opportunity and freedom for self-determination, development and growth.

But: Don’t Worry be Happy!

Idealist young people who have not yet worked a job, paid taxes, supported themselves and have not had to make the hard decisions of real life are easily manipulated by charismatic rock-stars and illusionists, but just as Siegfried and Roy discovered, the tigers of reality will have the final say over illusions and the price may be devastating.

It’s Labor Day weekend again. Last Labor Day the Roanoke Times Heralded the Communist Manifesto as THE Answer to America’s Challenges
Their featured article claimed: Carl Marx is the answer to our economic challenges, the Republicans want the American working people to be unemployed and all would be great if only the labor unions controlled and ran our businesses.
