THE CAL RIPKEN PRESIDENT
February 25, 2009
As Obama prepared to deliver his address to Congress on Tuesday, the Republican House Minority Leader John Boehner, Fox News' Bret Baier and Charles Krauthammer all gushed that history was being made as the first African-American president appeared before Congress.
Even Gov. Bobby Jindal, whom I suppose I should note was the first Indian-American to give the Republican response to a president's speech, began with an encomium to the first black president. (Wasn't Bobby great in "Slumdog Millionaire"?)
Are we going to have to hear about this for the next four years? Obama is becoming the Cal Ripken Jr. of presidents, making history every time he suits up for a game. Recently, Obama also became the first African-American president to order a ham sandwich late at night from the White House kitchen! That's going to get old pretty quick.
But as long as the nation is obsessed with historic milestones, is no one going to remark on what a great country it is where a mentally retarded woman can become speaker of the house?
Obama spent more than twice as much time in his historic speech genuflecting to the teachers' unions than talking about terrorism, Iraq or Afghanistan. So it was historic only in the sense that Obama is the first African-American president, but was the same old Democratic claptrap in every other respect.
After claiming that the disastrous stimulus bill would create or save 3.5 million jobs -- "more than 90 percent" in the private sector -- Obama then enumerated a long list of exclusively government jobs that would be "saved."
He was suspiciously verbose about saving the jobs of public schoolteachers. Because nothing says "economic stimulus" better than saving the jobs of lethargic incompetents who kick off at 2 p.m. every day and get summers off. Actually, that's not fair: Some teachers spend long hours after school having sex with their students.
As with the Clintons, Obama so earnestly believes in public school education that he sends his girls to ... an expensive private school. He demands that taxpayers support the very public schoolteachers he won't trust with his own children.
It is one thing to tell voters that school choice is wrong, because, you know, the public schools won't get better unless Americans sacrifice their children to the teachers' union's maw. But it is quite another for Democrats to feed their own kids to the union incinerator.
Consequently, no Democrat since Jimmy Carter has been stupid enough to send his own children to a public school.

Annie always is so reserved in her comments ....
Which suggests that if public education were extended all the way through college, by the time a student gets to graduate school he might very well be qualified to be ... speaker of the house!

Ann, not only did you do a tomahawk SLAM, but you also shattered the backboard.
BRAVO Coulter!!!!!!
It’s going to be a VEEERRRYYY long four years. I’m pooped already!
The way Anne bitch-slaps Nancy Pelosi is...well, kinda hot.
Ann Coulter should have given the GOP response to last night’s Liberal tragedy, mainly, the destruction of the American economy and our security. She has more cajones than any of the GOP leadership.
OOHHHH, that’s gonna hurt. I love Ann, LOL.
I’m surprised that MSNBC hasn’t whined that they could film the first black president taking his first dump in a WH toilet.
I thought Bobby did “Mississippi Masala”.
And, no, I wouldn’t call Barack Obama the Cal Ripken, Jr. of presidents. Rip had talent.
agreed and dead on. if a conservative had given that same type of POS speech last night the democRAT response would have torn him to shreds.
Looks like Annie is developing a little "Biden syndrome".
No she just calls em as she sees em. Equal opportunity skewer.
Yea she socks it to Present Obama’s Animated Botox Plastic Pop Up Doll.
Well, she definitely hit that one out of the park!
ROTFLMAO!!!
Worse than anything Jindal could have said or done was the scene of the SCOTUS justices fraternizing with a man (BHO) who has been and is likely to be a party in the cases they have decided and will decide. It’s called a violation of judicial ethics, or a conflict or interest, and it doesn’t bode well for the future of the judicial system in this country.
