J: No, it's saying that once he has all the facts, once he has all the perspectives, he is most likely to see which ones are biased (and why I threw in the disclaimer that it may not be biased).

It's saying that if a view is based on a biased viewpoint, and he detects that bias, he may not agree with that viewpoint.

"His" is the view that comes after identifying bias'd, not the counterweight to judge if something is biased by.

Interesting that McCain having bad grades at the Naval Academy is being contrasted to BHO's good grades. If I recall correctly GWB had better grades than Algore, yet Algore is judged to be a genius.

I am of the opinion that Obama would make decisions and choices that would bend America over the proverbial barrel for the rest of the world to bugger and beat, and it is for this reason that many other countries want him to be our President; you never want to give your enemy an advantage.

It's not the governments and antagonists that are wanting him to be President. It's the common people. The world isn't saying to itself "Which American Candidate would make it easiest for us to ****?!?", it's saying out loud, "We're tired of having a bully leading the world. It's time that the most powerful person in the world be someone we can actually respect, someone Presidential."

Don't take my word for it, go to outside websites. Guardian.co.uk (the most read online paper outside of America) makes fun of Bush as one of its primary advertisements on its site. They even post articles on Obama and McCain, read what the world thinks. There's many many more world-wide articles for reading which are written outside of the states, all easy to find. The one thing nobody is aiming for is a weak America. The outside world wants a very STRONG America, because whether America likes it or not, they are the Police of the World and have been so since D-Day. America the saviour country, who right now is just being a Bully in the middle east, and when France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, China, Russia and all the other countries say before the fight even starts that it's wrong to invade Iraq, and who continued to say it for years afterwards, those voices should have been listened to.

Those countries don't want to rape America, they NEED America. But a Bully as the leader of the world is enough to scare anyone, and McCain is just a continuation of that Bullying, in their eyes. Obama is the only candidate in years to come across as a Leader, as Presidential.

Logic & Fact mean nothing to an Obama supporter. It's all about charisma Not Substance. Obama supporters must be feeling desperate for the need to inundate a pro gun Indiana Forum with the constant barrage of Obama anti gun rhetoric. I feel better already

FYI - Al Gore is a Genius, he invented the Internet

The definition of "bias" is subjective and not always unfair or unjust.
All views are "biased" in someone's point of view.
Your posts, IMO, seem to indicate that Obama has a divine authority
on deciding if an opinion or view is correct for everybody
and that "His" is the correct path and anyone that challenges or disagrees
is not at a certain level of enlightenment, knowledge or open-mindedness.
It's subtle but it's there.

I disagree with your view of gun control based on studies of the past performance of these measures.
Gun control is not the only issue that I judge a candidate on.
That being said,
I have and will continue to challenge "His" and your view on gun control.

Communist Party Backs Obama



AIM Column | By Cliff Kincaid | July 3, 2008



Obama showed his gratitude by going to socialist conferences and selecting Marxist professors as his friends in college.



Barack Obama’s patriotic tour has run into a snag. More evidence of communist backing for the candidate has surfaced. The latest to emerge publicly in Obama’s camp is Joelle Fishman, the chairman of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) Political Action Commission. In a column titled, “Big political shifts are underway,” Fishman says that Obama could lead “a landslide defeat of the Republican ultra-right” this November and that he is “ready to listen” to the “left and progressive voters” backing him. Fishman makes it clear that the CPUSA is part of this coalition.

Meanwhile, admitted CPUSA member Alan Maki, writing on the official Barack Obama website, in the “community blogs” section under an “Obama 08” banner, has mentioned the unmentionable. That is the role of CPUSA member Frank Marshall Davis in mentoring Obama during his formative high school years in Hawaii.

Although fine print at the bottom of the page says that “Content on blogs in My.BarackObama represents the opinions of community members and in no way should be interpreted as endorsed or approved by the campaign,” the information provided by Maki is deadly confirmation that a hard-core CPUSA member played a key role in helping raise Obama. It is a story that most media, including some “conservative” news outlets, have shied away from.

Davis, who died in 1987, was a Stalinist who stayed with the CPUSA when others were abandoning it, and he refused, as late as 1956, to deny his membership in the party. He was selected by Obama’s white grandfather to be the future candidate’s role model and father-figure.

Obama showed his gratitude by going to socialist conferences and selecting Marxist professors as his friends in college. Later, of course, he would arrive in Chicago and launch his political career in the arms of communist terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, who, according to declassified intelligence information (PDF), were members of a group with connections to the CPUSA, foreign communist regimes, and even the Soviet KGB. The information shows that their close terrorist associate, Kathy Boudin, attended Moscow University and was subsidized by the Soviet government. Her father was a CPUSA member and a registered Cuban agent, documents show.

Praise for the CPUSA Figure

Announcing the “Frank Marshall Davis roundtable for change” on the Obama website, Maki, a Democratic Party activist and casino worker organizer, explained, “Reading Barack Obama’s book I learned about his mentor, Frank Marshall Davis.” He went on, “Of course, as we all know, Frank Marshall Davis was a Communist and he had a very good understanding of the underlying source of problems which all too often goes unstated and unchallenged and remains hidden because of the high fear-factor level in this country; I am referring to capitalism―a thoroughly rotten system. Frank Marshall Davis also understood through his thorough studies of the situation that socialism provided the only workable alternative to capitalism.”

Saying that he has been “active in the Minnesota DFL and the Democratic Party most of my life,” Maki still wants to know about the specifics of the “change” Obama is promising.

Maki goes on to say, “There really isn’t much for us to learn about ‘change’ from Obama, but there is quite a bit to be gleaned from the writings of Frank Marshall Davis and I thank Barack Obama for bringing him to my attention… now I can say that Frank Marshall Davis is in many ways my mentor, too.”

In a telephone conversation, Maki admitted being a CPUSA member and claimed the FBI had thousands of pages on him. A friendly fellow, he maintains more than a dozen blogs. One of them is simply titled, “Communist manifesto.”

For her part, CPUSA official Fishman seems to have more insight into Obama’s notion of change. “In sharp contrast” to John McCain, Fishman writes, “Obama speaks of strengthening government to provide health care and jobs, address global warming and end the war in Iraq.”

Drudge Plays Role of Censor

While Obama’s far-left support seems to be worthy of news and comment, Matt Drudge of Drudge Report fame has just rejected two paid ads submitted by my group America’s Survival, Inc. about the influence that CPUSA member Davis exerted over a young Obama. The ads featured a photo of Davis and a communist hammer and sickle. They asked, “Who is this man?,” and urged viewers to click to “Meet the mysterious Red Mentor” so they could be directed to two reports on the subject. The ads were “too controversial,” Drudge’s representative told me.

A recent article in Politico suggested Drudge was moving into the Obama camp. Matt Drudge, the article said, has been “trumpeting Obama’s victories and shrugging at his scandals.” The rejection of my ads is proof of that.

While Drudge protects Obama to the extent of rejecting paid advertising which draws attention to his Frank Marshall Davis connection, the “progressives” are openly talking about it. A “progressive” blogger named Rita responded to Alan Maki and says she checked out a copy of Davis’s book, Livin’ the Blues, from the library, and has been “reading it every day and sharing this with my kids…Frank Marshall Davis was a journalist and social activist of tremendous courage. I want to point out that Frank Marshall Davis was not only a voice for civil and human rights; his voice was a solid voice for the rights of all working people.”

She reproduces Maki’s email on Davis, which notes that copies were sent to such left-wing luminaries as Rep. Keith Ellison, Carl Pope of the Sierra Club, and Robert Borosage of the Institute for America’s Future and the Campaign for America’s Future. Borosage, who writes for the Huffington Post, is also the founder and chairman of the Progressive Majority Political Action Committee, which “recruits, staffs, and funds progressive candidates for political office.”

If Davis was indeed a “voice for civil and human rights,” why didn’t Barack Obama proudly identify Frank Marshall Davis by his full name in Dreams From My Father? Instead, Obama refers repeatedly to somebody named “Frank” giving him advice on various matters. Obama does note, however, that “Frank” was a contemporary of black poets Richard Wright and Langston Hughes. This is a hint of his real identity. The reference is significant because Wright and Hughes broke with the CPUSA while Davis did not. Indeed, Davis, in Livin’ the Blues (page 243), refers to Wright’s “act of treason” for exposing the CPUSA. Davis favored cooperation between what he called “Reds and blacks.” This demonstrates how much of a committed communist Davis really was. And this may be why Obama didn’t want readers to know his true identity.

A writer for a communist publication, Gerald Horne, first identified the mysterious “Frank” as Frank Marshall Davis. The identity was confirmed by Dr. Kathryn Takara of the University of Hawaii. Now, Alan Maki confirms it as well, saying that “progressives” should be proud of his legacy.

Praising Foreign Reds, Too

In addition to glorifying Davis as a source of sound ideas, the “progressive” Minnesota blog that favorably cites Maki also features a picture of “Raul Reyes…heroic leader of the Columbian resistance.” This is the dead leader of the communist narco-terrorists known as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). Documents found in Reyes’ computer after his death disclosed that “gringos” representing Barack Obama wanted to meet with the FARC and that they were opposed to U.S. military aid for the Colombian government. Obama had been publicly critical of the Colombia government’s human rights record.

By contrast, the Bush Administration has helped the Colombia government in its war with the FARC. Fortunately, and no thanks to Obama, the FARC has suffered a series of setbacks, the most recent being the spectacular liberation of 15 people, including 3 Americans, held by the group. Just a decade ago, there was speculation that the FARC might be getting so strong as to actually be able to defeat the military forces of the government of Colombia.

The FARC is now in ruins, but their “gringo” friends with communist and “progressive” support might be able to take power in the U.S. The communists and their “progressive” allies appreciate the stakes. It’s too bad that Drudge does not.

It seems the rest of the world will not be happy no matter what. So why do we bother. If we police, they complain we bully. If we don't police they say we need to help. If the president is outspoken they say he is talking down to their country. And it keeps going...
Example. You hear a lot from overseas about fat Americans that need to help the rest of the world. And we need a president who is willing to do that, but instead we are selfish. TIME did a positive article (yes I am talking about Time here) last month about how Bush Jr. has done more for the continent of Africa than all other presidents combined. With aid money, medical supplies, schools, computers etc. Wow I missed that in the news. But you read things overseas and you'd think we were sending infected monkeys into the villages there in order to wipe them. Just don't think the world will ever be satisfied and frankly I'd rather a president who cares less about pleasing the world and more about America.

Marxists / Socialists / Communists for Obama?
By JB Williams
MichNews.com
Jul 2, 2008



Obama’s useful idiot minions [1] on college campuses across America may have no clue what types of change Obama has in store for America. But every Marxist, Socialist and Communist around the globe, knows all too well…

“We support Barack Obama because he knows what is best for the people!”

This is a very common statement among the many anti-American Americans currently marching in the Obamamania Revolution to force change in America. But I took this quote from a group on Obama’s official campaign web site, calling themselves, Marxists, Socialists and Communists for Obama”

According to the group’s statement on Obama’s web site, “This group is for self-proclaimed Marxists/Communists/Socialists for the election of Barack Obama to the Presidency”. – “Under Karl Marx's writings we are to support the party with the best interests of the mobilization of the proletariat.” [2]

How can so many Americans be so easily duped into rallying behind the most unqualified man to ever seek the Oval Office, who also clearly represents the will of Marxists, Communists and Socialists everywhere? - In direct opposition to every American value ever known?

It’s much easier than you think…

Although America is indeed divided right down the ideological center, 50 percent of voters on one side of every issue and the other 50 percent on the other side, there is really only one fundamental difference between the two sides.

Both sides spend a lifetime in search of Utopia. But they share neither the definition of Utopia, nor the means by which to achieve it.

One side searches for Utopia in the American dream, via American principles and values of individual liberty and personal freedom to define Utopia and pursue it under their own steam via a free-market capitalist system that allows every human being to determine his or her own destiny.

The other side believes in the Marxist group-think definition of Utopia, where all human beings are not Created equal with equal opportunities, but rather made economically equal via man made laws, regardless of unequal individual efforts. This group seeks their idea of Utopia via the Marx concept, “from each according to his ability; to each according to his need.”

All other ideological differences are rooted in this one fundamental difference

Though both sides call themselves “American” and even “patriotic,” only one of these belief systems is wholly American. The other is wholly anti-American.

I realize this news flash comes as a shock to many of my fellow Americans today, especially on the well indoctrinated college campus where “higher learning” is better defined as “dumbing down.”

However, if you can honestly refer to Marx, Engels, Stalin or Lenin as “pro-American” idealists, you have spent too much time in higher learning and had the common sense drummed right out of you.

If you are inclined to simply ignore the truth that Barack Obama is in no way qualified to become the leader of the most powerful nation on earth, or that he somehow sat in the pew of an overtly anti-white and anti-American church for twenty years without ever noticing that he was raising his children in a racist anti-American environment, then ignoring the fact that he also represents the ideals of Marx and Lenin will come easy for you.

If on the other hand, you are a student of facts and well endowed with the gift of common sense, then there is no way on God’s green earth you could possibly miss the implications of a presidential candidate who enjoys the support of Marxists, Communists, Socialists and Islamic terrorists everywhere…

Out of the shadows…

The fact that Obama is willing to offer Marxists, Communists and Socialists, free public space on his official campaign web site demonstrates just how stupid he thinks his supporters really are. He is clearly not in the least worried about his American voters figuring out that he is a Democratic Socialist. [3]

And why should he be? Democrat voters have been trained to vote themselves gifts from the public trough for decades now. So what, that they don’t know it is socialism they are voting for? They can be relied upon to vote on this basis alone in every election, no matter what you call it.

Even most Democrats would never knowingly vote for “socialized medicine” on a ballot. But government controlled “universal healthcare” sounds like a great idea! Sure, it’s the same thing. But doesn’t the new name sound much better?

Never mind that they are asking the same folks who bankrupted Social Security and Medicare to take over managing the entire healthcare industry. That’s an insignificant fact, if your goal is Democratic Socialism, no matter the long-term consequences. I mean, we need change, don’t we. Does it really matter what kind of change?

At a time of war?

Yes, America is at war. However, according to Obamessiah, it is an unnecessary war. In Obama’s expert national security opinion, based on no such experience, we only need to capture or kill Obama bin Laden to end world wide Jihad on the west, currently being waged in more than 70 countries, including our own, by more than 100 million Islamic Jihadists.

Oh, I know what you’re thinking, the writer screwed up. There are more than a billion Muslims in the world. Yes, but remember, Obama has declared that 90 percent, including his family in Africa, are “peaceful” Muslims. So, we should only worry about the 10 percent, or 100 million who are not peaceful… and we only need to kill one of them to stop the other 100 million…

Again, if Obama’s Muslim heritage supports his claim to be Christian in your mind; this is only another set of sad facts to be ignored.

But come on… You excuse his completely blank résumé. You ignore that he runs as a “black” man, even though you know that half of his family tree is white.

I don’t care what color he is, but clearly, he does. Or, at least he cares very much which color you think he is…

Where are his books about the white side of his family tree, which is the side that raised him and put him through college from the age of ten? He writes about his Muslim-turned-atheist father, who left him at the age of 2, as the greatest influence in his life? I can’t remember anything at all from when I was 2… Can you?

You ignored the fact that he somehow overlooked twenty years of anti-white anti-American rants from his family church. You ignored his campaign ties to his communist trained cousin in Kenya, who killed thousands of Christians, burning them in their churches only weeks ago, just to secure himself the un-elected position of Prime Minister of Kenya.

The truth shall set you free, Obama-maniacs!

FDR said “there is nothing to fear but fear itself.”

And that’s why Obama and his supporters work around the clock to conjure up fear in American voters.

But Obama himself, fears only one thing… Truth!

The more people come to know about Obama, the less likely they are to ever support what the man truly stands for. Therefore, the best financed campaign in U.S. history, more than 400 paid bloggers, the top four internet search engines and the MSM will work around the clock to keep the truth out of sight between now and November.

Every criticism of Obama will be played off as an “act of racism.” If he were running as white or even half white, that weapon would not work. You watched the Obama campaign hijack the DNC nomination from Hillary Clinton by using this weapon against America’s “first black president” Bill. If it will work against Bill Clinton, it will work against anyone.

Truth is what the Obama campaign fears the most. So, they will make certain that truth is hard to find and they will get plenty of help from all information outlets, including the search engines which are actively removing anti-Obama materials from search results under the heading of “hate speech.”

Don’t believe me? Try Googling American Spectator, the oldest conservative magazine in America and watch what happens. In the search result, Google will tell you “This site may harm your computer.” If you click to go to the site anyway, a Google page will come up with this message instead, “Warning - visiting this web site may harm your computer!” as you are being denied access to the site.

Based upon mail I receive from Obama supporters, I’d say there is almost NO chance of breaking down the indoctrination and reaching them with the truth before November. Try it and watch how vicious their attacks become instantly. See how long it takes them to call you a “racist.”

This means that every other American had better be paying attention and engaging in the process of over-riding the massive Obama Revolution. Americans who still hold the American principles and values dear, had better wake up and take a stand while they still can.

Marxists/Socialists/Communists are for Obama!

What about you?

Obama’s greatest claim to fame is that he was a “community organizer.” Maybe you should start by learning what a “community organizer” is…[4] Then study Obama heroes, like Saul Alinsky [5] and Bill Ayers. [6]

From Obama's Own Web Site

Barack Obama | Marxists/Socialists/Communists for Obama

Marxists/Socialists/Communists for Obama

This group is for self-proclaimed Marxists/Communists/Socialists for the election of Barack Obama to the Presidency. By no means is he a true Marxist, but under Karl Marx's writings we are to support the party with the best interests of the mobilization of the proletariat. Though the Democratic Socialists of America or the Communist Patty of America may have more Socialististic values, it is pointless to vote for these candidates due to the fact that there is virutally no chance they will be elected on a National level. The members of this group are not Leninists, Stalinists, etc. and do not support or condone the actions of North Korea, China, Cuba or any other self-procalimed "Marxist States." They do not in anyway represent the Marxist philosophy nor do they represent Socialism/ Communsim. We support Barack Obama because he knows what is best for the people!

 

[Bill of Rights]

It's not the governments and antagonists that are wanting him to be President. It's the common people. The world isn't saying to itself "Which American Candidate would make it easiest for us to ****?!?", it's saying out loud, "We're tired of having a bully leading the world. It's time that the most powerful person in the world be someone we can actually respect, someone Presidential."

Don't take my word for it, go to outside websites. Guardian.co.uk (the most read online paper outside of America) makes fun of Bush as one of its primary advertisements on its site. They even post articles on Obama and McCain, read what the world thinks. There's many many more world-wide articles for reading which are written outside of the states, all easy to find. The one thing nobody is aiming for is a weak America. The outside world wants a very STRONG America, because whether America likes it or not, they are the Police of the World and have been so since D-Day. America the saviour country, who right now is just being a Bully in the middle east, and when France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, China, Russia and all the other countries say before the fight even starts that it's wrong to invade Iraq, and who continued to say it for years afterwards, those voices should have been listened to.

Those countries don't want to rape America, they NEED America. But a Bully as the leader of the world is enough to scare anyone, and McCain is just a continuation of that Bullying, in their eyes. Obama is the only candidate in years to come across as a Leader, as Presidential.

I don't take your word for it. In fact, that you are reportedly still an American citizen is the only reason we're having a discussion at all. If the rest of the world makes fun of our President, I couldn't care less. If someone, anyone, who doesn't get to vote for our President (or Congress, or anything else in America) has an opinion, they are welcome to their opinion, but I don't have to listen to it, let alone share it.

The rest of the world hated Ronald Reagan (or as he was sometimes called back then, "Ronnie Ray-gun") during his presidency. Only after he did the good he did did he become in the minds of many the good President he was. How can we respect someone who just wants to give up, who wants to eliminate the last line of defense America has by disarming her citizens? Recall the line in WWII as to why Japan should not attack the US Mainland: "a rifle behind every blade of grass". Obama wants to end that, too, and then what would deter the next enemy (Iran, perhaps? or closer to home, Mexico?) from mounting an attack we would once have been able to repel, but in his Presidency would be reduced to the use of strong language or at the most, rocks and sticks.

No, as President, he does not make the laws that would lead to the aforementioned disarmament, but by his presence in the office, he emboldens those who would introduce and pass such bills as would become law to that effect to do so. He has the position of power and influence to "suggest" to the Charles Schumers in the Senate, and the Carolyn McCarthys in the House that such bills should be introduced. He has the power to nominate more Ruth Ginsburgs and David Souters and no Antonin Scalias or Clarence Thomases to the Supreme Court-and a friendly (to him, not to America) legislature rubber-stamps such nominations. As President, he appoints our UN delegation. I'm of the opinion that we need the US out of the UN and vice versa, but if we for some reason MUST be in it we should at least have an ambassador that insists that no, our laws and our Constitution WILL be sovereign in our country.

And that's what it comes down to: The Constitution. McCain has at least a passing familiarity with it. Obama claims to be a Con Law professor, but thumbs his nose, figuratively speaking, at the parts of it he doesn't like. (and yes, Bush has done likewise many times. Irrelevant. I'm not pro-Bush. I'm not pro-McCain. I'm definitely not pro-Obama. I'm pro-America and pro-Constitution at the core of that, and while neither of the two candidates who are in serious contention for the Presidency fit that description, McCain will likely do the lesser amount of damage to it.

No I don't agree I think they say which candidate can bring the USA down a peg or two and remove it from Superpower Status. Lets face it the rest of the world hates a winner. It's jealousy. If our country was so bad why do we have an immigration problem? When I see people leaving in hoards I'll rethink that.

Don't take my word for it, go to outside websites. Guardian.co.uk (the most read online paper outside of America) makes fun of Bush as one of its primary advertisements on its site. Yeah they hate the fact that the man follows through on what he says despite the naysayers.They even post articles on Obama and McCain, read what the world thinks. I don't give a **** what the world thinks. Our government is here to serve the Citizens of this country not others.There's many many more world-wide articles for reading which are written outside of the states, all easy to find.

I think those voices are now being proved wrong. Iraq has not been a failure and it is a damn smart strategic move. Obama himself is eating his words on bringing the troops home. He said it was wrong to go in the first place to gain the lefty vote and now he is the presumptive nominee he is abandoning that view to a more centrist one.

Those countries don't want to rape America, they NEED America. But a Bully as the leader of the world is enough to scare anyone, and McCain is just a continuation of that Bullying, in their eyes. Obama is the only candidate in years to come across as a Leader, as Presidential.

He looks like a leader? He has accomplished what? What bills has he pushed through congress that have bettered the lives of Americans? What has he done but play the kind of politics he said he despises? He lies about taking money from lobbyist, he just takes it from their wives and children. The guy is an empty suit being propped up by an extreme left machine. He complains that the 527's are why he broke his promise to take public funds when the Left owns the 527s in a much larger percentage then the right. He sounds alot like Bill Clinton when explaining why he is doing the opposite of what he said he was going to do. His words are very carefully CHOSEN for him.

 

[JetGirl]

I also don't think his opinion on Gun Control would affect the chances of such laws passing, or not passing, into law.

Of course it would. His Supreme Court appointments alone would dictate the trend of changing laws. Heller is a current example of that.

I don't empathize with you, but of all the candidates, Obama is the one that would.

Like he empathized with the law abiding citizenry in his own state? The ones he's effectively disarmed where the gun crime rate is one of the highest in the country?
I think you're failing to recognize that gun control only controls those who abide by it. Criminals actually don't mind more restrictions because they ignore laws arbitrarily. This is why the gun crime rate is so high in places like Chicago and so low in places like Kennesaw, Georgia where criminologists attribute a drop of 89% in the residential burglary rate to their pro-gun law.

This is why the gun crime rate is so high in places like Chicago and so low in places like Kennesaw, Georgia where criminologists attribute a drop of 89% in the residential burglary rate to their pro-gun law.

Wait, wait... you mean criminals ignore laws? While the rest of us (who are not criminals) obey them? Huh. Who'd have ever predicted that? It just seems so wrong... almost like it was illegal!

OK, enough sarcasm. Criminals ignore laws arbitrarily and politicians pass arbitrary laws. Coincidence? I think not.

BTW: rep points for you, Annie.

This sounds like a mission for Mr. Obvious!! Maybe Mr. Obvious should visit the Netherlands. I'd be afraid he would do too many drugs though and things would no longer be obvious, and that would be a tragedy.

He looks like a leader? He has accomplished what? What bills has he pushed through congress that have bettered the lives of Americans? <<snip>>

Answer: quoted from an article in The American Spectator

To date, he has been the lead sponsor of 123 bills, but just two of them actually passed: one "to promote relief, security, and democracy in the Democratic Republic of the Congo" and "a resolution designating July 13, 2006, as 'National Summer Learning Day.'"
