Fox NEWS' Varney: Obama offering free preschool so toddlers will vote for him

I do have fun with these. I will restate the resolution to this debate, just to ensure that I do not wander too far off-topic. It is a problem that I have. The question that we will settle is: Is the sole reason that President Obama is advocating for universal Pre-K to entice affected voters to vote for him? I hope that it is noted that I am not quite so facetious as to claim that the potential Obama voters are the toddlers themselves. (I said “affected,” thoughtful troll that I am. ) I will play the “Con” side, and argue that this is an untenable argument. I say this for the following reasons. Obama has sworn off elected office in the future. Although other presidents have sought lower office after their terms, Obama has said that he will not do this. He is term-limited, and cannot be elected President again. This being the case, Obama is almost certainly aware that none of the toddlers, their parents, or the villainous teachers’ unions will ever vote for him under any circumstances, no matter how many goodies he doles out. Obama may have proposed universal Pre K in an attempt to improve the American education system. This must be ruled out before any argument that the proposal is an attempt to bribe off potential voters can be demonstrated. If it is argued that Obama is completely dedicated to the destruction of the entire United States and all of capitalism, then it follows that he would have nefarious reasons for proposing universal Preschool. However, some evidence of this evil plot should be produce before it can be considered. Even then, if Obama is proposing “Quality Preschool for every child in America” for ANY reason other than vote-bribing, then Varney was wrong. Even if he wants every American four year old to have the educational opportunity so that he can take their guns and kill Jews. Summary: The resolution was always intended to draw attention to the hyperbole of Fox NEWS. The network often allows it’s pundits to overspeak with impunity. In this case, a ridiculous statement was made. Varney, enraged, claimed that President Obama was “passing out goodies” to potential voters, “just as he did during the election,” so that these voters will vote for him. Had Varney bloviated about how the effort to allow children access to high quality education might help “Democrat” politicians, or how it might help “polish his legacy,” then he might have had a case. Alas. He said that these people were being given free goodies so that they would vote for Obama specifically. Even though no voter in America can ever vote for Obama ever again. (Varney even brought up the ‘free cell phones’ myth, just to make it clear who he was talking about. ) This inspired my resolution, which also names Obama specifically. Therefore, my argument, as of this round, is: Varney claims that Obama is attempting to give away “free goodies” in an effort to entice people to vote for him, in this case the goodie is access to high quality preschool education. Other reasons for Obama’s proposal to offer universal preschool could possibly exist. Besides, Obama will not run for elected office ever again, so no voter is likely to ever vote for Mr. Obama personally ever again. If Obama knows this (he should), then Varney is likely incorrect in suggesting that Obama’s efforts to offer children access to preschool is only a vote bribe. . http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com...
