Sherry Jones is FOS.

WASHINGTON - Sherry Jones was driving son Malcolm, 13, to school recently when he mentioned something about some kid he didn't like.
Something about the kid being a jerk.
Jones told him that wasn't kind. When you speak of people, she said, always speak well of them.
"Look at Barack! During the campaign, no matter what, Obama always took the high road," she told him. "During the debates when John McCain would say a dig, Barack would never react. He was always positive."
Malcolm, who likes a good debate, was, for that moment, quiet.
In that silence, Jones realized that something about her spontaneous, trapped-in-the-car lecture was working. "If my son didn't agree, he would let me know," says Jones, an accountant in suburban Silver Spring, Md. "He always has something else to say. ? Usually, he will say, `Yeah, but?' When I use Barack Obama as an example, I can see him. He's quiet. He may sit up a little straighter.
"He hasn't gotten to the point where he says, `You are right.'" But there is something to be said for his saying nothing.
Parenting can be like that. You take what you can get. Any acknowledgment of the parental lecture. Not getting the "yeah, but" can be the change a mother waits for, silent proof that her nagging isn't going in one ear and out the other. So some parents are summoning up Obama at the breakfast table to motivate a dawdling, recalcitrant child.
Get up! Do you think Obama would have slept late and not made it to school on time?
Why don't you guys share? Don't you think Obama would want you to share?
How much did you read? Obama would have finished the book by now.
Do you think Obama would sneak cigarettes? (Oops.)

No. Junior had just come to the realization that you are a gullible fool -- and he is calculating how to use it against you.
Maybe they can also teach their kids to not take tests, but to mark it as “present” instead. Then 2 years into school, move on and do something else.
Sherry Jones is FOS.
Because Obama is a marxist.

Oh, yeah, I want my kids to grow up to be crack smokers who have gay sex, andlie, cheat and steal their way through life while married to a really mean person. NOT!!!
“Obama always took the high road,” she told him.
High on crack or on dope?
How convenient mommy didn’t mention that when someone questioned the annoited one, they’d be shouted down, threatened, investigated, or worse.
If black kids are inspired by Obama to behave well, that’s great. Plus, four or eight years of a positive role model is one more reason blacks won’t be able to blame “whitey†for all their troubles.
“It doesn’t matter if you flunked your Science test, Jimmy. As Barack Obama shows us, even an idiot can grow up to be President!...”
Well, there goes breakfast.
Because tokens will always be needed to make other people think you care.
As nauseating as it is, he’s a much better role model than Tupac, Ice Cube, Kanye, et al. He got an education and had children after he got married. As much as we dislike Obama, if he can inspire the black community to emulate success rather than nihilism, I’ll give him that much credit. Yes, of course many are carrying it too far; they’ll find out soon enough that he is as fallible as anyone else.
0bama supporters see a turd floating to the top of the cesspool and proclaim it to be “walking on water”.
Yeah, mom, he would want me to share your stuff. Fork over your purse.
It’s easy for Obama to take “the high road.”
The media does the dirty work for him.
Soon enough, the true believers will get very tired of not-behaving-badly. They will tire of being-good-for-Obama and backslide into their old habits....
Some will realize the hypocrisy and others will enjoy the change....
