The Amazing Atomic President

I am about to discourse in the most philosophical of terms.   I am doing this because I trust that my readers are bright enough to understand it; after all most of you are Conservatives.   Let's face it they call it the Left because when God was giving out brains, they all left.   Anyhoo, here goes.   I am disturbed at how the media has taken to critiquing President Obama in Atomistic terms. Let me clarify.   Instead of commenting on his ratings with the American people (on various criteria) in a holistic fashion, there is instead a trend towards separating the components of his lousy decisions from the man himself.   This Atomistic way of separating the man from his deeds,or to put it another way, to say that the various decision- making components of the man  don't constitute the total of the man is an Atomistic copout.   Even those media respondents who aren't particularly aroused by the once God-like President are quick to say that the public like the man but hate his policies. Bunk! You cannot separate Obama from the legacy of his dim-witted policies.  I find it very difficult to believe that the American public is fond of a man who has given us record spending, record unemployment, insults to the country which he is the leader of, and subterfuge which would have made Nixon proud.   Please don't get me wrong, I don't hate the guy but lets just say I am not fond of a president who  bringing our country to ruin.

Why Juannie Can't Read

   In light of the Administration's focus on school lunches and children's diets it behooves me to address a scholastic concern which really counts.   There is a concern extant in the world of American  academia having to do with the difficulty Hispanic children are having with reading.   The general reasoning is that a lack of familiarity with the English language, poverty, and yes that old Liberal standby racism , are the root causes for this reading problem.   I beg to differ ( knew that was coming, huh?).   First of all it behooves me to ask why Hispanics, especially Puerto Ricans, are the only wave of immigrants ( I know, technically Puerto Ricans are not  immigrants) who come to these shores and do not immediately teach themselves the language.   For crying out loud Puerto Rico is contiguous with the U.S.!   Secondly, if poverty was a reason to hamper the ability to read, I would  not be laboring furiously over this brilliant blog! (I kid the blog is merely insightful...in a brilliant way).   Finally, racism too would not account for the vast amount of Hispanic students in remedial reading.   May I offer a rationale?   Perhaps Hispanic parents need to spend the time they have sitting at home reading to their kids and spend less time  listening to Democrats tell them how woebegone they are.  

Good Bye Mr. Gibbs!

Is it me or does erstwhile Press Secretary Robert Gibbs bear a striking resemblance to Sherman from the Old Peabody and Sherman cartoons?   I mean his voice even raises an octave whenever a challenging question was thrown his way making it sound like Sherman's high falsetto.   At any rate, it is high time that Mr. Gibbs stepped down from a post which he was woefully and  inadequately qualified to hold ( more so even than our Commander-In- Chief).   Gibbs babbled more than a brook on speed.   Gibbs, when faced with any challenging query would stutter more than Porky Pig with hiccups, delivering a dissertation, during an earthquake.  Gibbs always seemed obviously unprepared, often confrontational, and rarely at ease in his position.   It would have been a good idea for Gibbs to read his responses from a teleprompter like our "Fearless Reader" Obama.   Now we will have to wait and see who will replace Mr. Gibbs.   If we must have a stammering, halting, unprepared person in this position may I suggest Bob Newhart...at least he's funny.
