The campaigner-in-chief kicks off his bid to continue to run the country into the ground and ruin another night of TV in America tonight with the State of the Union. No wait, his campaign offically kicked off several months ago, tonight is just a continuation of a campaign that actually began as soon as he lifted his hand from the Bible after being sworn in.
First off, the State of the Union speech is a total waste of everyone’s time. Putting it on TV is a waste valuable TV time. There was a time when the president didn’t even show up in the Capital Building and deliver the SOTU in the form of speech. It was delivered as a letter to congress.
Check every SOTU speech since Ronald Reagan. Based on objective speech criteria, every one of them has been too long, too polarizing and too disjointed to get much better than a D- in any speech class. Of course and as always in modern education, the P-BO will get a full pass for being half black and receive his usual A++++++ from Libs.
Predictions:
Don’t get “Let me be clear…” or any phrase with the word "fair" in it in the drinking game.
All media will fawn over the P-BO for the performance tonight. They will talk about how great he looked, what a nice tie had on, how in command he was blah, blah, blah. It’s all BS. He’s going to stand up and read a speech from a teleprompter. 10’s of 1,000 of local weathermen do the exact same thing every night with a whole lot more flare.
Unless the good Joe Wilson calls him what he is, a liar, the content of the show tonight will be exactly what you’d expect from a socialist. It’ll be program after program designed to separate working people from their money and “spread it around” to public sector union thugs, welfare and more green energy flops.
On a different note
Lee C. Bollinger is President of Columbia University. He wrote an OpEd for the Washington ComPost. In addition to his duties at Columbia, Bollinger is also Director of the Washington Post Co. In his OpEd, which was republished in the Ft. Wayne local fish wrap, Bollinger whines about the courts undoing the social engineering universities like Columbia are engaged in with their racial preference programs. These programs allow Libs like Bollinger to snatch less qualified kids from the back of the line and move them ahead of more qualified kids. They do this not based on the content of their character or even a more objective standard, their grades, but rather on the color of their skin. Talk about turning Martin Luther King on his head.
Naturally Lex took exception:
White male Lee C. Bollinger is a supporter of socially engineered diversity, probably because it has never affected him or his children.
Were Bollinger truly interested in diversity, he’d resign as President of Columbia University because he’s male and quit as Director of the Washington Post Co. because he’s white. He’d insist an under served minority candidate be hired in those positions, perhaps even the rarest of all species in a faculty lounge or news room, a conservative.
Even with causes as noble as diversity, a line must be drawn somewhere. I suppose Bollinger draws his line on support for diversity right where it might actually affect him. If not there, then certainly before an equal number of conservative students and faculty are required on Columbia ’s campus or on the Post’s staff.
The reason some minorities cannot get into universities on their own merit is due to the utter failure of many inner city schools. Yet when someone comes along with voucher money to get kids out of the mess created by Liberal policies like those Bollinger champions, there are the Liberals standing in the school house door blocking a better education for minority kids.
When someone proposes firing incompetent union teachers in the public system, there’s Bollinger and his teachers’ union buddies to ensure inept tenured teachers remain in place for life. After all, punishing at risk children is a small price to pay to maintain a Liberal monopoly on public education.
Bollinger and his pals do little to enable these children to enter college based on their own merit. Instead Bollinger’s answer to the problems Liberal education policies have created is to pluck kids from the back of the line, where those policies have placed them, and simply move them ahead of more qualified applicants.
