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.

Agreed. My grandfather’s generation would have responded to this Obama stuff with “What is all this crap? Get that idiot kid out of the White House and get the real president in there.”
It is illegal for the Justices to discuss any pending case with Obama. It is not illegal for them to socialize with him-- remember Scalia's hunting trip with Cheney while Cheney was a party to a case pending before SCOTUS?
I notice with some relief that no Democrat has hired
Bill “Kill Your Parents, that’s where it’s at—
—even though I didn’t kill mine” Ayers
...as a private tutor for their kids either.
As always with, it’s do as I say, not as I do with those bigots.
Thankfully, Ayers’ parents are alive today because their morally warped son is a coward. Not a pacifist but a coward. The man needs to repent of his evil talk and deeds.
I LOVE Cal Ripken. Always have.
That was my favorite too. Get reasdy Ann, the libs are going to explode over that one. hehe
..what a great country it is where a mentally retarded woman can become speaker of the house
That is a great, great line!
I’m surprised that event didn’t earn an above-the-fold headline at the WaPo.
the same old Democratic claptrap in every other respect
Here is a nice one-two punch:
“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.”
That line had me LMAO!!
(Wasn't Bobby great in "Slumdog Millionaire"?)Separated at birth?
“Instead of jumping on the love fest, he should have hit straight on the pork bill...”
I disagree. We FReepers are political junkies. We realize that politics is ‘war by another means.’ Unfortunately, the vast majority of folks don’t like politics & want everyone to ‘just get along’ & solve problems without ideology getting involved. I know, because I have to put up with my family (who all voted for O) & that’s what they always say. For now, we should give O respect while pointing out differences. If necessary, fillibuster to stop the really bad stuff. And when things go south (as I’m sure they will) the GOP should pull out the long knives & take no prisoners.

Well, I for one doubt that there is any ham in Hussein’s kitchen......

Glad you agree with me on that one, mojitojoe. As it is said, great minds think alike.

H. L. Coulter
"If I've offended anyone," Ann Coulter told an audience of 1,200 at the Nixon Library today, "my work is done."
His speeches are nothing more than extended campaigning. This time to shore up drastically sliding numbers.
Look for these idiots to try and slide in anything and everything(health care next,who knows what after that, more spending) they can while they have their majorities since they know its for two years and two years only.
I dread what the country will look like in two years.
