It reminds me of an episode of Babylon 5 when this blonde from the ministry of propaganda (or whatever it was called) came aboard the ship to be the new "political officer" and was telling Captain Sheridan about how many of the problems Earth had been facing have been eliminated:"Even though I do not believe we can extend coverage to those who are here illegally, I also don't simply believe we can simply ignore the fact that our immigration system is broken," Mr. Obama said Wednesday evening in a speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute. "That's why I strongly support making sure folks who are here legally have access to affordable, quality health insurance under this plan, just like everybody else.
Mr. Obama added, "If anything, this debate underscores the necessity of passing comprehensive immigration reform and resolving the issue of 12 million undocumented people living and working in this country once and for all."
Musante: Earth doesn’t have homeless. Yes, there are some displaced people here and there, but they’ve chosen to be in that position. They’re either lazy or they’re criminal or they’re mentally unstable.
Sheridan: They can’t get a job
Musante: EarthGov has promised a job to anyone that wants one. So if someone doesn’t have a job, they must not want one.
Sheridan: Poverty?
Musante: It’s the same.
Sheridan: Crime?
Musante: Yes, there is some, but it’s all caused by the mentally unstable. And we’ve just instituted correctional centers to filter them out at an early age.
Sheridan: Prejudice
Musante: No, we’re just one happy planet. Well, alright, there’s the Marsies, but that won’t change until they stop fighting the Earth Rule.
Sheridan: And when exactly did all this happen?
Musante: When we rewrote the dictionary. Captain, you’re a good man, you’re a fine soldier, a leader. You understand that sometimes, before you can deal with a problem you have to redefine it.
So besides Saul Alinsky, Obama seems to be getting pointers from President Clark.
