I AM DISGUSTED

Usually I am in favor of dialogue to resolve differences, but to all those people out there whining because the President of the United States wants to tell their school children to work hard and stay in school, get over it. Presidents have been talking to school children for as long as I can remember, which is a long time. My very first memory was of President Eisenhower when I was in the third grade.

Just a few examples:

Ronald Reagan took questions from high school students at the White House in 1986, and the question-and-answer session was broadcast nationally. Reagan urged the students to stay in school and say no to drugs, but he also discussed overtly political matters, such as national defense funding, nuclear disarmament and -- in suprising policy detail -- taxes.

President George H.W. Bush gave an address to schools nationwide in 1991, from a junior high school in Washington, D.C. News reports from the time said the White House hoped that the address would be shown at schools nationwide, and Bush began his remarks by saying he was talking to "millions" of students "in classrooms all across the country."

And in the interest of fairness, I will not use the most famous of the George W. Bush pictures, but he made many school visits to gain support for his, in my opinion very ill-conceived, no-child-left-behind programs.


I am especially disgusted with those people who claim to be upholders of the constitution and then violate the constitution by not recognizing that Barack Hussein Obama is the constitutionally elected President of the United States. In other words, no matter how much you dislike and or disagree with him and his policies, HE IS YOUR PRESIDENT. So stop whining and talk with your children about the significance of what he has to say and how all of us need to be working together to get the country through these troubled times. We have too many real problems to waste time on trivial issues like this.

It's Time to Bring Bozo Home

Way back in 2008 many of us thought this camparison with Senator Jesse Helms was an insult to Bozo the Clown.  So the rest of this article is done with apologies to Bozo.  Back then, we could rest comfortably in the thought that the good people of North Carolina had to claim the Clown of the Senate. 

But now we Okies have our own Bozo. 

Color us proud.

Anyone who knows the history of Jim Inhofe knows he  was a joke as a state legislature and then the voters of Oklahoma thought they would share their joke with the rest of the country and send him to Washington.  For his first few years in Happy Valley he lived up to his own low standards and had one of the worst attendance records in the senate.  But then, obviously way over his head and not too good at treading water,  he discovered that one way to get attention was to make ridiculous statements.  So now whenever the press needs a ridiculous statement to lighten up their retelling of all the things going wrong around us, they know they can always count on the good senator for Oklahoma to provide some comic relief.  Unfortunately, a small, and hopefully shrinking, minority of citizens take what he says seriously.  So the joke has gone on long enough.  It's time for Bozo to go home and leave the governing of the country to those who have a clue.

I found this comment from Eagle4 with a Tulsa Word story about Inhofe's latest idiocy-

Inhofe remains one of the most uneducated, Redneck bumpkins on this flat planet! His stupidity makes him the poster child for Planned Parenthood! Just when you think you're totally flabbergasted by what he's said, he opens his mouth again and takes you to a whole new level!
