Don't Bore Him with the Numbers

Maybe we have an explanation for why the country is in a financial mess.

During the campaign in 2007, Obama referred to the US as having 52 states. Now he can't keep his daughter's age straight. So if he can't even get those numbers right, how can anyone expect him to manage the $14-plus trillion deficit?

Maybe next time we should elect someone who passed arithmetic in the third grade.


Oops! Obama messes up his daughter’s age - TODAY People - TODAY.com:
"WASHINGTON —In a news conference Wednesday, President Barack Obama twice referred to his oldest daughter, Malia, as being 13 years old.

Not quite. She's 12.

Pulitzer-Winning Journalist Admits He's an Illegal Immigrant - but what about the citizens?

Ok, it's a nice story. Americans are a heartfelt people, and no warm-blooded American could turn a cold eye on it. But...

When I read about Vargas' educational scholarships and multiple high-level internships, I couldn't help but wonder about the other young and talented American citizens who worked equally hard, dreamed of these placements, and would have availed themselves of these opportunities. It's not like the guy is the only person who could have come up through the ranks to win a Pulitzer - it happens all the time. But this guy was an illegal alien - about which he was fully aware and didn't keep secret - who was abetted in evading federal law by a lot of people along the way.

So here we have a story that tugs at the hearts of all Americans - not because he's an illegal, but because he came from humble roots to become a success through hard work. But to read the story, the melodramatic tone ignores the fact that there are many other citizens, born in America or legally naturalized, who have the precise same story.

What pulls on my heart even more is how diminished has become the American Tale. Our great story of optimism and opportunity it is now used to push the idea that America's rightful desire to protect it's citizens through immigration law is somehow "evil," because it would not promote the efforts of those in country illegally.

Something doesn't add up there.

Oops: White House Corrects Job Creation “Laughter” Line in Transcript

I don't recall who said it, but the saying, "There are no accidents," seems particularly appropriate:

At a fundraising event Monday night, Obama said, according to the White House's official release sent a couple hours later, this line that was noted to be apparently funny to the crowd:

"Over the last 15 months we've created over 2.1 million private sector jobs. (Laughter), " the release stated.

Who's up for Slavery?

OK, so we all knew the Obama Traveling Socialist Roadshow was trying to get everyone into the dance by making them dependent on gumment handouts, but man, this one is a real pip! MediCaid for everyone! That's better than a chicken in every pot! And we know how that chicken turned out - his goose was cooked before he was even plucked.

Or maybe it's a turnaround ploy about slavery - making white middle class America enslave itself to the government, without as much as a shot fired or a whip cracked.

AP Exclusive: Medicaid for the middle class? - Yahoo! News:
"WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama's health care law would let several million middle-class people get nearly free insurance meant for the poor, a twist government number crunchers say they discovered only after the complex bill was signed.

The change would affect early retirees: A married couple could have an annual income of about $64,000 and still get Medicaid, said officials who make long-range cost estimates for the Health and Human Services department.

After initially downplaying any concern, the Obama administration said late Tuesday it would look for a fix.

Up to 3 million more people could qualify for Medicaid in 2014 as a result of the anomaly. That's because, in a major change from today, most of their Social Security benefits would no longer be counted as income for determining eligibility. It might be compared to allowing middle-class people to qualify for food stamps.

Matthews Calls Conservative Women ‘Broads’ - Chris Matthews - Fox Nation

One of the things that never ceases to amaze me about liberals is their treatment of women. To them, it seems the only women worthy of treating with respect are those who share their ideology. But if a woman utters a single sigh of conservatism, she is treated with the same disdain, disregard and outright misogyny usually reserved for 1%er biker gangs toward their women.

Zero-tolerance policies criticized - baltimoresun.com

More about the stupidity at the top levels in our schools. Imagine handing out a suspension for a girl having pepper spray in her purse. You suspend for USING it indiscriminately, not having it. Idiocy.

This was in the article: ""...It goes against the objective of schools, and that is to graduate students." Well, I thought the objective was teaching/learning, not to simply graduate them? If this is the case, just teach them the GED test in 9th grade and be done with it.
And MD citizens could correct this through voicing their opinions, but it never happens. We may get the government we deserve, but with teachers so stupid, do our children - who can hopefully make a better world - get the education they deserve?

Obama Crackdown on For-Profit Colleges Faces Stiff Resistance - FoxNews.com

Why is he doing it? Elitism. The schools in question are vocational training schools, not intellectually-based, meaning they teach the people who actually do some work the skills they need to actually do the work. Obama is an intellectual with zero experience in the real world. He eyes these schools and their graduates with contempt. The question I ask: With our president such an intellectual, how's it working for ya?
