Thoughts & Commentary on the Obama Administration

[Lemur]

A true bastion of objectivity that "Meet the Press" is.

Yup, with screaming leftines such as Rudy Giuliani beating the drum for socialism.

Face it, the people making noise about Obama talking to schoolchildren are out of their minds. And many of the loudest are hypocrites.

There once was a political operative who loved to tell crowds he had a simple way of explaining to children the difference between Republicans and Democrats.

"Republicans get up and go to work," he would tell his son. "Democrats get up and go down to the mailbox to get their checks."

This man not only talked to his son about Republican values, he went into public-school classrooms and talked about them as well.

That man is Jim Greer — the same Jim Greer who, as chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, just threw a nationwide hissy fit, claiming that the classroom is no place for politics and Barack Obama's "indoctrination."

One Seminole County mother, Barbara Wells, remembers the day Greer spoke to her son's sixth-grade class. "My son said he made some sort of Hillary Clinton joke," she recalled.

But you know what? Wells didn't pitch a fit.

She didn't call up the local TV station to scream about Republican indoctrination.

Instead, she advised her son: "Whatever you are told in life, remember there are two sides to every story."

In fact, Wells didn't even think much about Greer's foray into her son's classroom until she saw him on TV complaining about Obama.

There's no longer any question: Greer is a hypocrite.

Fox news usually has a token liberal in their midst, but I wouldn't hear you argueing for their objectivity. Who were the other guests at the well-rounded table?

Many of the loudest are usually hippocrites. I believe that he is able to address school children. What people are concerned about is the level of audacity in his approach to things. He is taking liberties that other Presidents wouldn't take. More money to government, more power to government. The same guy wants to have an unfiltered one on one with impressionable minds and it can leave people a bit queesy. Sure he can, he is the President, but when consolidating federal authority seems to be his hallmark thus far, an approach on children understandably makes parents who disagree uneasy.

Hell, I havn't gotten over the idea of state funded teachers forcibly gaining parental rights over our children without our consent, but I must be a wingnut.
