I love how the guy in the video asks if any flags are raised... Then says NOTHING about what he thinks this all means. He's an idiot. I don't like to use the "R" word, but in this case, it applies.

The man in the video is mentally challenged. That's the only conclusion I can come to, given the facts.
This Executive Order establishes a White House Rural Council. The HELPS the rural American. It doesn't spread satanic federal government influences to rural America. That's insanity. :shk:
And why did you post this if you don't even know what it means???

Oh, really? How does any executive order ever help anybody? How is this going to help us rural folks?
Come on, what makes them think rural people aren't living their lives just how they see fit?

Why this? Why now?
Revitalizing rural America was a big part of Obama's campaign platform. Many of his promises, including one to spur job growth in small communities, are part of a larger effort to boost poor towns and create jobs.
This promise sounds a lot like one Obama made to create a rural revitalization program. While investigating that pledge, we found that the Department of Agriculture has launched a Rural Tour to "engage in a more robust dialogue with folks living in rural America."
Obama has backed up that effort with cold cash, as well. A little more than half of the Agriculture Department's share of the stimulus funding -- about $28 billion -- is dedicated to rural development projects. For instance, in October, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced $30 million in stimulus funding for 36 community facilities projects, many of which are health care facilities. That was in addition to $335 million that the Agriculture Department had already announced for such projects.

Come on, what makes them think rural people aren't living their lives just how they see fit? Do they think we chose to live in the country because we were too stupid, or unable to migrate to large cities?
