School of Obama

First it was social promotions. When our children had difficulty passing, we went to a pass/fail system that no longer honored achievement but simply sent the student on to the next grade in order to NOT stigmatize the child. Less emphasis was placed on factual and historical learning and placed on project achievements and social awareness sensitivity. 2 + 2 could = 5 if we tried hard. And we get dumber.

Next we went to No Child Left Behind. In order to increase the minimal education level of American students, we began to “test Teach”. That is, the teachers and schools were evaluated based on test scores. Teachers left behind the teaching of the subjects and instead emphasized teaching only the information that appeared on the “achievement tests”. And we continued getting dumber.

Now it appears we have arrived at some new system of evaluation. It is based upon student charisma, likability and how much the student struggled with his background. The latest polls show that President Obama has the LOWEST approval ratings ever for a President after his first year in office, yet when asked about his work as president, Mr. Obama stated that he would grade himself a “B+”. A “B+”?!? That’s amazing! According to what grading system could you rate the Obama presidency a “B+”? Perhaps with the Jimmy Carter grade as the standard; then maybe on that curve Mr. Obama’s grade could improve. After his first year in office:

1. Mr. Obama has led America to apologize for every ill world event in the last 300 years. Obviously history doesn’t matter in the Obama education plan.

2. Mr. Obama has led America to the highest unemployment rate since Carter’s tenure in office. At least we have not seen the return of the “Misery Index”. Obviously, social studies is not a pre-requisite in the Obama education evaluation system.

3. Under the Obama watch, the largest debt ceiling in American history has been reached as the American economy continues its downward spiral with the attack on small business, the insurance companies, Wall Street, the vacation industry, the aviation industry, the medical field, banks, home building, home mortgage, the automobile industry, etc, etc, etc. So Math and Economics is no longer required basics in the Obama School of learning.

4. Obama has continued his assault on the U. S. Constitution. Freedoms of Speech, Freedom of Religion, the 2nd Amendment, and the right to pursue happiness and health have all been discarded. Looks like American Government is no longer on the curriculum at the Obama School of Hope and Change.

5. The continued pursuit of Global Warming and the revelations of the e-mails that confirm the hoax being perpetrated on the American people (and the rest of the world) show us that Science has also been removed from the curriculum for the Obama School of Tax and Spend and Tax Some More

So what’s on the syllabus?

1. Teleprompter reading

2. Pandering to voting groups

3. Support for community organizations for voter fraud and graft

4. Solicitation/ fundraising

5. Promotion and payback for union corruption

6. Good intentions

7. Extra credit for being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize without actually doing anything

Okay, as long as we live in a society where 2 + 2 can = 5 based upon a good intentions; where we won’t keep score at little league ballgames since it may stigmatize the young cherubs; where welfare is more profitable than employment; where we are provided by government agencies translations in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, French and Farsi instead of expecting people to learn the language spoken in the country they are living in; where a congresswoman believes that Americans have walked upon Mars; where we elect failed, foul-mouthed and unfunny comedians to senate seats; where we count the votes from the dead, prison convicts and illegal aliens while rejecting the votes from our members of the Armed Forces serving in harm’s way; where our taxes fund lying, cheating, embezzling criminal organizations and call them “community organizers”; where plagiarists can be elected Vice President of the United States; where former radicals who murder police officers can advise the president of the United States; where convicted felons can write the health care agenda and attend White House State Parties; where the national security of the United States would be sacrificed to pass the socialistic health care bill; then President Obama was too modest, he has obviously earned an A+. Besides, if there was anything lacking on the Obama report card, it was George Bush’s fault for eating his homework, Obama can’t be marked down for that, right?
