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.

I wonder how many detractors will jump on her for not properly researching that statement and ask for a link.
when i think about how far public education has dropped into the swamp i remember a history lesson in grade school where the teacher said American culture was superior because our ancestors came over to make their lives. In contrast spanish and french came to conquer and extract resources. I bet that teacher would be kicked under the bus today for giving a lesson like that.
woo hoo Ann in the HOT SEAT
Jindal pissed me off!!!THIS should be our new rallying cry:Instead of jumping on the love fest, he should have hit straight on the pork bill and named the item and cost of each item on that bill that DID NOT MAKE ONE DAMNED JOB!!!!
Need to verify the ham sandwich statement ... if true, need to verify that Duh One actually ate it. I have my doubts ...
LMAO!! How can you not love this gutsy girl?
Jindal pissed me off!!!

He pissed me off too. Enough of the love fest. For a minute I thought he got a chrissy tingle up his leg.
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

Lots of people are talking about that. Totally inappropriate. The fix is in, only the people can take back their country. Write those letters, vote the RINO’s out and hope and pray it doesn’t come to a real tea party.
Actually, that “no pork” graphic would be more hard-hitting if it had the face of a certain “piggish” looking congressman in it.
She thinks he looks just like somebody in Slumdog Millionaire? Which one?
He could eat a ham sandwhich if given a fatwa by a cleric.
As long a the goal is to harm the infidel, rules can be bent.
“what a great country it is where a mentally retarded woman can become speaker of the house?’
Yeee-ouch!
Under Clinton we had the first (Your home is your incinerator.) Attorney General. Although she was less than competent the MSM never took note because she was, after all, the first woman AG.
And we had the first woman (let’s see if we can redo the start of WWI) Secretary of State. She was just thrilled with Thaci and his bandaleros and all manner of Islmicist terrorists and drug runners. Although she too was manifestly less than competent the MSM refused to take note because she was after all the first woman Secretary of State.
And so now we have the first African-American, supposedly descended from black African Islamicist slave traders black president and the MSM will never take note of anything he does wrong because he is after all the first black President and even if some court should take note of the constitutional defect in his being a candidate in the first place the MSM will disparage actually citing the Constitution and seeking to have it upheld against all enemies foreign and domestic.
Ain’t America grand?
And such “watchdogs” of the press!
It would have been the first time a response has gotten better ratings than the State of the Union--or whatever it was that Obama was doing last night (Christmas in February?).
This nation better get a huge infusion of cajones or we’re through.
Glad you agree with me on that one, mojitojoe. As it is said, great minds think alike.
