Parents are over-reacting to the planned presidential speech to school children scheduled for September 8, announced by conservative radio on last Tuesday (which forced the White House to announce “officially” the next day). Thus says the White House spokesman. But actions speak louder than words.
And their “body language” says it all. Look at White House spokesman Gibbs’s response:”I think we’ve reached a little bit of the silly season when the president of the United States can’t tell kids in school to study hard and stay in school. I think both political parties agree that the dropout rate is something that threatens our long-term economic success.”
Doesn’t it sound familiar? Blame the citizen. Protests at Town Halls? Those things are called “mobs.” That parents would distrust this light-shining-from-somewhere-and-you’ll-hear-a-voice-saying-I-gotta-be-me president is “silly.”
Is it as “silly” as flag@whitehouse.gov? As silly as Van Jones schtick of Dubya on crack? As silly as candidate Obama’s fake presidential seal? How about as silly as the “Obama girl”? Or perhaps as fishy as billions of dollars disappearing down the giant maw of the IRS? That fishy, maybe?
Nah! Nothing fishy about this president!
The speech may read as boring and pedantic, now that the White House is forced to pre-release a copy. That may have shifted their strategy into a deliberate effort to portray the conservative citizens as nervous Nellies. But if Gibbs is so concerned about our economic success, why are we wasting the school day on Pollyanna-ish drivel, why doesn’t he instead take away Obama’s credit cards — like a good parent.
I trust nothing about Obama anymore. This is the slickest, smoothest operator to come down the pike. I’ll give him plenty credit for successful deviousness of a scale unprecedented in modern history. He is the anti-Reagan — the most lying, two-faced, used car salesmanish schyster ever.
Read that prepared speech carefully, because I’m betting that the temptation to hubris is huge — they will try to put something in there — something to rankle conservatives, who are after all the ONLY people really even paying attention, and it will be clothed in innocuous seeming terms — but scratch a bit deeper, look at the metaphors, take it down the road one or two logical steps and it’ll have its creepy edge.
Fortunately, that kind of deception is over the heads of children.
Obama IS an object lesson for students. The lesson: to watch out who you’re hangin’ out with– Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Van Jones, Ezekiel Emanuel, John Holdren, Rahm Emanuel, Kevin Jennings, James Meeks , Tony Rezko and Dr. Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour. Obama has so many skeletons, he’s gonna need a bigger closet. How did this guy get elected again? I forget ….
