USA: The Blind Leads the Blind
In January 2013, Barack Obama at a press conference in the White House summed up his work for the first term of his presidency. His statement turned out to be so contradictory to all that he did and continues to do, that it seems necessary to give a little excerpt from him. "Our economy is growing, new jobs are being created - a good year awaits us, but only if we make smart decisions, make reliable investments, and also if the policy in Washington does not end up on the path of progress of the nation," he quotes. "Euronews".
As you can see, there are a lot of things here: both new jobs are created, and 2013 has been declared “good”, and “smart solutions”, and the irony that “politics in Washington” will not prevent the nation from progressing. It seems that we are talking about a period of Reaganomics, and not at all about the crisis rule of Mr. Obama, whose presidency will undoubtedly become worse by economic outcome than the reign of the previous elect of the people - George W. Bush, a great specialist in stories, geography and connoisseur of military affairs.
Where the American nation is progressing, a Washington correspondent recently told the channel. "RT" Gayane Chichakian.
For the time being, the USA is leading in the field of innovations and technologies, but the question is whether the States will be able to hold their positions. And the answer to this question, it seems to experts, can be found in American schools. In the world ranking in mathematics knowledge, 15-year-old schoolchildren from the United States occupy the 25 place.
Well, if there were 200 places in the ranking, the result would be beyond praise. But in the ranking of all 34 places.
And who is there first? The Chinese are the same age as the American teenagers.
Harvard University has published a report on the results of the study entitled “Global Challenge: Are American Students Ready for Competition?”
Scientists have tried to establish a link between school mathematics and the economic development of the country. According to their estimates, the current performance of young Americans in this discipline will cost the country the next 80 years 75 trillions of dollars, which is probably a trillion a year will be "profukano" because of losers, loafers and those who simply do not math in mathematics .
One of the authors of the Harvard study, a professor at Stanford University, Eric Hanushek, an expert in economic analysis in the field of education, said:
The reporter asked the professor why the American schoolchildren are not doing well in math. What is the main reason?
It turns out it's not about the money.
It seems that in many respects this is a question of the quality of teachers, the professor believes. There are, of course, problems with curricula and textbooks, but the main thing is the teachers. The study found that they are the ones most influencing school performance.
As long as China puts on science and technology in schools, the US is rolling back.
Obama is aware that his country is far from being as good as it once was. Speaking to the senators, he stated:
Of course they will. But what Obama said will remain a talker if only because he did absolutely nothing to develop education. On the contrary, it was under him that Harvard students became famous for total cheating. In February, the 2013 year around 60 students of this university were expelled after a massive cheating on the easiest course exam called “Basics of the Congress”. Obama himself, also a Harvard stoppage, totaled fifty-seven states in the United States and stated that the car was invented in the United States, and Bush, his predecessor as president, and another Harvard graduate who had wiped his pants in the White House for eight years, believed that Afghanistan and Iraq is in Africa, Australia is confused with Austria, Slovakia with Slovenia, and APEC with OPEC.
American high-tech companies, from Microsoft to Intel, have become accustomed to using the labor of immigrants. Firstly, they can be paid several times less; secondly, headhunters will always bring the best ones. Thus, the replenishment of the market for highly skilled labor comes from the outside, not from the inside, which the talker Obama cannot grasp. (Well, what is not Gorbachev?) Employers are not at all interested in the expensive American work force, and they don’t care about the problems of teaching mathematics and technical disciplines in the USA. Employers are interested in profits, and the production of many firms have long been derived in the same China. Probably, Obama is not so naive as to blindly believe in the mathematical progress of his native nation, and he is well aware that the “smart decisions” he talks about to senators are an empty sound. Exactly empty: according to Russian proverb, in an empty barrel ringing is more.
How did Obama come to power? And everything is simple: with the help of "undecided". That's what American Galina Belokurova wrote on this topic on the site Slon.ru - very accurate and short:
Miracles, as we know, does not happen. Well, except in fairy tales. But politics is not a fairy tale. And therefore, “one of two things” happened, I mean failure.
Ekaterina Kravchenko and Polina Khimshiashvili (Vedomosti.ru) cited data on the "successes" achieved by the United States under Obama's rule.
“I want every American to know: we will build everything again, we will recover, and the United States will be stronger again than before,” Mr. Obama promised in a program speech before Congress at the beginning of 2009 of the year. These are words, but the deeds.
Unemployment rose from 5,8% in 2008 to 8,1% in 2012. According to the OECD forecast, the growth rate of private consumption will increase from 1,9% to 2,1-2,9% in 2013, the public sector will continue to decline (by 1% in 2012 , on 0,5% - before 2013, and on 0,8% - in 2014.).
Obama also broke his own promise to achieve in a short time a two-fold reduction in the budget deficit inherited from the Bush administration (from 1,3 trillion dollars to 533 billion dollars). The US national debt increased from 71,6% of GDP in 2008 to 109,8% in 2012. The trend of growth in national debt in the next two years will not be able to be reversed: the level of public debt will increase from 109,8% of GDP to 114,1% by 2014, according to OECD analysts.
All this can already today with certainty be called an expensive to stagnation. “A good year awaits us,” yes, Mr. Obama? Americans have the right to ask this president their ironic question.
Sergey Shelin (Rosbalt) writes:
Under Obama, the budget sequestered. The national debt has grown. In May, the US government debt ceiling law began to operate again. The ceiling has been restored to a new level - around 16,7 trillion. dollars, reports correspondent ITAR-TASS Dmitry Kirsanov. Problems with the maintenance of this debt, as Finance Minister Jacob Liu assured, the federal government is not expected until September.
Obviously, in September, the next “black” day will break out, and the republican hawks will once again become furiously pecked by Democrat Obama. "Reliable investment", which Obama talks about, is nothing more than printing money substitutes with the help of the Fed machine tool controlled by smiling Ben Bernanke. For the ignorant crowd, these events in the mystical economic language are called “quantitative easing programs”. In Russia, these "programs" are called printing candy wrappers.
In terms of foreign policy, it is also difficult to find at least one result that would justify not the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Obama in advance (these are pieces of money for Libya, should be), but something useful for the United States. Iraq? But Bush worked on it. And Prime Minister al-Maliki explained to Obama that it is wrong to assume that Iraq is “someone’s patrimony”. Afghanistan, where are the US coming to 2001? If we consider the annual growth of opium poppies there, and hemp in recent years, Obama, of course, should be credited to the foremost agriculture. Afghanistan now supplies the world with more than 90% of the raw materials for making heroin. Under Obama, even Karzai began to oppose the United States.
Bret Stevens ("The Wall Street Journal", Russian-language source - "Inopressa") reminded readers of Henry Kissinger’s book Does America Need a Foreign Policy? published a few months before the September 11 2001 attacks. The title of the book, the columnist considers, is fundamental and prophetic. “It predicted Barack Obama and the America for which he is fighting,” writes Bret Stevens. The author explains:
Three scandals involving the White House have shocked the United States in recent months.
Stefan Bussard ("The weather"; Russian source - "Inopressa") highlighted in his material scandals with the wiretapping of the journalists of the Associated Press, with biased checks of conservative NGOs by the US Tax Service and with an attack on the consulate in Benghazi. They broke out at the worst possible time for Barack Obama. “Three of these crises can pin him down like“ Irangate ”- Ronald Reagan, and the Lewinsky affair - Bill Clinton,” the correspondent believes.
Speech by two high-ranking officials of the US State Department added fuel to the flames of the long-standing scandal with the attack on the consulate in Benghazi. At congressional hearings, diplomats said the Obama administration did not take seriously the warnings about security threats in Libya. In addition, the White House tried to conceal that the attack on the consulate, which was in fact the base of the CIA, was made by Islamic radicals, so that Obama could continue to play the victory card over Al-Qaeda in his election race.
"Congressmen from the Republican Party, partly responsible for what happened, because they have repeatedly refused to embassies to strengthen security, are not going to miss the prey," - concluded the journalist.
Employees of the United States Revenue Service (IRS) must be held accountable for enhanced checks against opposition organizations, said President Barack Obama after the scandal with inspections of NGOs. Obama's corresponding statement quotes correspondent RIA "News" Peter Martynychev: “The check revealed unacceptable and unforgivable things. Federal authorities should be worthy of public trust. I ordered the Minister of Finance to bring those responsible to justice. ”
The fact is that the Tax Service arranged additional checks for organizations that claimed the tax-free status of 75, whose names included the words “patriot” or “tea party”. Opposition Republicans and the conservative press said that the IRS was tackling the challenges of political struggle.
It clarifies "Lenta.ru" with reference to CBS News, the checks were conducted for at least 18 months — starting in 2010.
Also, the administration of the President of the United States came under fire for the investigation, which began the country's Justice Ministry against the news agency "Associated Press", reports correspondent RIA "Novosti" Alexey Bogdanovsky.
US Department of Justice Notifies Agency on May 10 Newsthat received printouts of calls from 20 AR telephone lines for April and May 2012. White House spokeswoman Jay Carney said the administration will not comment on the situation around the agency, but under the pressure of journalists said that Barack Obama supports freedom of the press.
The representative of the American Civil Liberties Union, Ben Weisner, said: “Getting a wide range of telephone records to catch a person who has leaked from the government is an unacceptable abuse of power. Freedom of the press is the foundation of democracy, and this freedom often depends on confidential communication between reporters and their sources. ”
“Reporters Without Borders” called the actions of the US authorities against the agency “an exceptionally serious violation of the freedom of information.”
Moreover, in the newspaper “The Daily Beast”, the channel "RT", a material appeared in which it was said that with respect to freedom of speech, US President Barack Obama behaves even worse than the culprit of the Watergate scandal, Richard Nixon. Media employees are concerned that the authorities treat them like spies.
The correspondent of "RT" Gayane Chichakian said that the US Justice Department not only requested personal emails from Fox News correspondents, but also stated that James Rosen was an "accomplice, accomplice and / or participant in the conspiracy" because published information received from an employee in the US State Department. Rosen's colleagues were indignant at the fact that the journalist was called a criminal simply for performing his duties.
“The president’s crusade against journalists aims to ensure that citizens no longer learn about the bullying of prisoners, about listening to the phone without a court decision, and the like,” said Nill Macdonald, Canadian television channel’s correspondent.
Under Obama, more cases were brought up against reporters than with all the other US presidents combined. The same “The Daily Beast” claims that Obama behaves worse than the perpetrator of the Watergate scandal, Richard Nixon, regarding freedom of speech.
According to The Seattle Times, the Obama administration has instituted six cases against journalists and their informants.
Well, it would seem, Obama's rating should be shaken from such failures.
However, we all remember, as Hillary Clinton's rating jumped when she was interrogated last year with addiction (hysterical) senators - about the tragedy in Benghazi. Whether due to the “hard questions” of the Republican senators, or because Hillary lost his temper, but in January of 2013, she turned out to be the most popular politician in the United States. She jumped "favorable rating", almost like the temperature of influenza. He achieved “colossal” 67 percent (results of the Washington Post / ABC News survey). This means that sixty-seven percent of Americans respond positively to the activities of the Secretary of State. Since those January days, H. Clinton is considered the definitive favorite of the Democratic Party’s 2016 presidential race of the year.
Despite the scandals, Obama's rating, though not increased, but did not fall. Russian service "Voice of America" 20 May reported that more than half of Americans approve of their president’s work, despite scandals erupted in the US related to the tax service, collecting data on calls from the Associated Press journalists and the Benghazi attack.
According to a CNN television survey conducted jointly with ORC International, 53% of Americans approve of Barack Obama’s activities, and 45% does not approve of them. In April, Obama's rating was 51%. According to experts, there is no reason to talk about the growth of the rating, since the error of the survey is 3%.
However, 53% is still larger than 51%.
Keating Holland, Director of CNN Surveys, said the approval rating, which remains above 50%, is good news for Democrats.
In this way,Gorbachev Obama can calmly talk for another three and a half years about construction of developed socialism the creation of new jobs, smart solutions and reliable investments, as well as the close contact of the educational system with employers regarding the employment of future mathematicians and engineers. Americans need to know: Washington’s policies will not stand in the way of nation’s progress. And if China begins to crush the American economy with its educated personnel, it will have to deal with the American fleet. Unless, of course, this fleet does not eat another sequestration.
As you can see, there are a lot of things here: both new jobs are created, and 2013 has been declared “good”, and “smart solutions”, and the irony that “politics in Washington” will not prevent the nation from progressing. It seems that we are talking about a period of Reaganomics, and not at all about the crisis rule of Mr. Obama, whose presidency will undoubtedly become worse by economic outcome than the reign of the previous elect of the people - George W.

One of the authors of the Harvard study, a professor at Stanford University, Eric Hanushek, an expert in economic analysis in the field of education, said:
“This is an extremely important factor. If in the next 20 years we can improve our schools, it will allow us to increase the US GDP by 5 times compared to today's level. ”
The reporter asked the professor why the American schoolchildren are not doing well in math. What is the main reason?
It turns out it's not about the money.
It seems that in many respects this is a question of the quality of teachers, the professor believes. There are, of course, problems with curricula and textbooks, but the main thing is the teachers. The study found that they are the ones most influencing school performance.
As long as China puts on science and technology in schools, the US is rolling back.
Obama is aware that his country is far from being as good as it once was. Speaking to the senators, he stated:
“We will encourage schools to cooperate with colleges and employers, as well as create specialized classes with in-depth study of natural science, technology, engineering and mathematics. After all, this knowledge is in demand by employers today and will be in demand in the future. ”
Of course they will. But what Obama said will remain a talker if only because he did absolutely nothing to develop education. On the contrary, it was under him that Harvard students became famous for total cheating.

“The American electoral system is designed in such a way that the main struggle is always unfolding to increase the turnout and vote of undecided voters. Because active registered voters almost never change their opinion, they are difficult to agitate.
Undecided voters are mostly poor, blacks and young people. In all these categories, Obama managed to get a convincing majority of votes. Obama won even in those states where people rarely vote for Democrats. Although his presidency from the very beginning promised to be very difficult, even without taking into account the global economic crisis. Both his own and republican voters held too radical positions: some were waiting for a miracle, others were completely failing. ”

Sergey Shelin (Rosbalt) writes:
“The problem of today's America is not only and not so much that Obama, who for some reason saw the American dream maker, turned out to be a banal, little-known talker. A far more serious problem is the lack of public will to drastically upgrade, although its need is long overdue. Accordingly, new Reagans on the American horizon have not yet been seen. ”

“However, no one really knows what the ultimate money that has already been made and distributed by Obama and Bernanke will be answered,” writes S. Schelin (Rosbalt). - All of these unsecured trillions of dollars, some of which are connected by different temporary means, and some of which are generally free, can now rush anywhere. Yesterday they flooded commodity markets, inflating oil prices. Today they are attacking stock markets, thanks to which stock indices, despite the stagnation of the economy, suddenly soared to record heights. Tomorrow consumer inflation can creep up or, conversely, a stock market crash can occur with all its charms - a decline in production and a surge in unemployment. ”

“This America is somewhere between light anxiety and happy indifference to the fact that the world outside our shores is in an incredibly bad state. Is Iran close to getting a bomb? This is apparently inevitable. Chemical weapon Syria dangles everywhere, like rolling tennis balls? Their problem. Is Islamism spreading in the Arab world? This is a democracy, they themselves will understand. Is Vladimir Putin resurrecting the practice of sham trials? What a pity. Does China play the idea of war with Japan? Understand.
