No parents left behind when kids start singing
John Kass
September 4, 2009
It's really too bad those angry right-wing critics have forced President Barack Obama to change his plans to enlist America's schoolchildren in a "help the president" campaign.
But I'm not giving up. It still is a great idea, the president of the United States and the Department of Education asking schoolchildren to write letters about how they can help. Yes they can!
If the White House changes its mind before the president's back-to-school broadcast next week, then I'm ready. We could call it "Let's Help the President," or how about "Rat Out Your Parents!" Even better, let's label it:
"Hey Kids, Don't Ask. Just Tell."
To help out, I've come up with 10 topics for Obama to discuss with the kids.
No. 1: "Hi, kids. It's me, President Obama. I've got kids, too. And a dog. Aren't dogs great?"
No. 2: "Have your parents ever said the words 'offshore account'? If so, don't ask them what that means. Just write down in your notebooks how many times they say 'offshore account' and then write me a letter. Remember, children: Don't ask. Just tell."
No. 3: "Do your parents watch Fox News on TV? Or are they unselfish Americans who care about the environment and what's fair and watch MSNBC?"...

# 4 How can we help Obama find his real birth certificate and were he was really born.
Good piece!
“When I was in grade school during the Vietnam War, one of our teachers — a young man of draft age — informed us that communism wasn’t that bad, especially for impoverished villagers. So I went home to discuss it with my dad, who grew up an impoverished villager in Europe and fought in a bloody civil war against communism.
Dad, I said, communism isn’t that bad. It just helps the villagers. My teacher said.
He didn’t speak. But he had three cigarettes going at once, then started grabbing slices of bread off the table, mashing them in his palm, muttering something in Greek that is unprintable.
And the next day, I told the teacher everything.”
"Ok kid. Here is the list of things to look for at your parents home and report..... guns, NRA magazine, Limbaugh Letter, U.S. Constitution,tea party signs, SUV, Free Republic website as home page, AM radio tuned to Mark Levin station, FOX News,pictures of me with mustache, bank account numbers,voter registration card, mom and dad's e-mail addresses, cell phone numbers, ...."
You know what’s funny now? How blazen these people are. I mean let’s face it. He figured if I could get these idiots to vote for me...then they’ll let me do anything.
He’s so blazen in his appointment of czars... giving presidential FREEDOM awards to communists, atheists and devote haters of Israel and the US.
Now he gets blazen again with this questionaire for the kids, the answers of which go to his focus groups to map out his NEXT campaign strategy.
This guy is going to resign. IT’s going to come soon. IT’ll be over probably some revelation having to do with his past... but he will resign.
THERE IS NO WAY, THAT WE CAN ENDURE THREE MORE YEARS OF THIS GUY....
Obama takes his cues from earlier totalitarians. Be prepared for the coming Young Pioneers, or Obamayouth movement.
well you dad must have been a nice and decent guy
Well if we could get the reward up for let’s say 10 to 20 million dollars for someone to come up with a real B.C. of Obama’s maybe then he will resign!
what they don’t tell you is that is young saul alinsky there with Adolf.... :)
You ought to read his whole article. He has ten points.
“Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.”
— Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
He alone, who owns the youth, gains the Future!
— Adolf Hitler, speech at the Reichsparteitag, 1935
"Those who fail to learn from history. are doomed to repeat it." — George Santayana (1863–1952)
Kass was at Obama’s inauguration and he wrote a pretty gushy piece after that and it didn’t seem at all like satire. I cannot find the article, which is starting to annoy me, so I need to move along, but this post listed today is very good to read.
