Ann Coulter: THE CAL RIPKEN PRESIDENT

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.

She has more cajones than any of the GOP leadership.

She’s the absolute best.

"For now, we should give O respect while pointing out differences."

Respect has be to earned. It is never just given. Obama and his followers have done nothing to earn my respect. On the contrary the have earned my scorn.

She lambasted former White House counsel John Dean for alleging that RN had framed a notorious Soviet spy. "Alger Hiss was guilty," she said, "and John Dean is a liar." As for affirmation action, another Nixon policy, "it's like the stimulus bill: Exactly the wrong thing, and plenty of it."

Man.....do I like the way she makes her points. Smacking the liberal mind with a sledge hammer.

As Shakespeare said: "Brevity is the soul of wit".

“Are we going to have to hear about this for the next four years?”

No, I think the ‘its historic’ meme jumped the shark with Jindhal’s comments.

It’s quite historic that the stock market is lower now than in 11 years!!! How often does THAT happen?!?

... and I think you could do with fewer exclamation points.

It’s all style not substance.

Substance, he was right on.

Instead, we got a limp wristed pansy response. The GOP is doomed.
