Democrat darling and Texas Senate candidate James Talarico is taking heat after it was discovered that, as a public school teacher in San Antonio, he made his sixth-grade students write "Obama memoirs" celebrating his election.
Corey DeAngelis, a school choice advocate and research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, called the assignment "disqualifying" for a Senate hopeful in Texas.
In a Facebook post by Talarico dated Nov. 13, 2012, he announced, "Today, we finished writing our Obama memoirs," explaining that "students wrote a memoir of Election Night from the point of view of a member of the Obama family."
One of the memoirs shared by Talarico showed one of his students writing as if they were former President Barack Obama’s child, saying, "I was crying when my father was giving his speech" and praising "those lovely words that came out of his mouth" during his election night speech.
The Democratic Party has high hopes that Talarico, a progressive state representative, can flip a critical Senate seat blue and become the first Democratic senator from Texas in decades. Since winning the party’s nomination, however, many have called out his history of progressive statements, including saying "God is nonbinary" and using the Bible to justify abortion.
In another Facebook post, dated Nov. 16, 2012, Talarico shared an image of a poster board full of Obama memoirs with a banner reading "Mr. Talarico’s Wall of Fame." The display featured more than a dozen memoirs along with photos of Obama and his family, as well as presidential seals and Obama’s campaign emblem. Talarico commented, "Our Wall of Fame has been updated with our awesome Obama Family Memoirs!"

A fruitloop, good observation. TX Democrats see him as their ticket to a sweep of the general election races. Attorney general and comptroller races feature apparently strong Democrat surges.
BathHouseBarrySoetoro, the TreasonousTraitor, had such a cult following who waited breathlessly for each word he spoke.
Leftists are soooo delusional.
Male sixth-grade teacher and a nutcase…there’s a good chance that there is something pretty bad in this guy’s history. He’s not going to last long.
I would have written the assignment from the viewpoint not of a family member, but an ISIS terrorist, one of his fellow muslims.
“I was so happy to know that now the borders will be thrown open, making it much easier for my compatriots to enter the Great Satan. And the homosexuals will be brought out of the shadows and into the light, where we can identify them for ‘treatment’ when we take over!”
They love him over at reddit. I read a few replies on one of their threads and I feel like I have to take another shower. I didn’t even want to link the thread here because I didn’t want to skeeve anybody out.
And it sounds like he is indeed a true believer, a one hundred percent useful idiot for any anti-American initiative.
