Race to the Top

Race to the Top

Anyone want to take a shot at what that is? Sit down, strap in and try not to have your head fly off from the white hot steam of WTF?!

Mr. Obama campaigned for the White House on a promise of revamping “No Child Left Behind,’ the signature education law put in place by his predecessor, George W. Bush. He came to Wisconsin to promote his own education agenda, including “Race to the Top,’’ – a $4.35 billion grant program that requires states to compete for education money.

I read "race" and instantly recalled the teaching's of Rev. Wright, Barry's pastor of over 20 years: Sen. Barack Obama's pastor says blacks should not sing "God Bless America" but "God damn America." I easily made the connection between race and hate because of Wright and his messages to Barry and the rest of his flock over those 20 years. Could the title be an unfortunate choice of words? Sure. But given Barry's foundation and the folks he counted as close personal confidants over the course of his life, well, you can see why it gives me pause.

I don't believe Obama when he says he had no idea about Wright and his extremism. 20 years he belonged to that church. 20 years of being this man's friend. 20 years of fellowship and guidance and shared intimacies. If we, ordinary citizens, can discern Wright's intent in just one enraged homily, in just one sitting in front of our computers, listening to this man spew his hate on YouTube, we would have to suspend reality to think Wright's hate had no effect on Barry. Mr. President, you should know better than to try and pull the proverbial wool over our eyes.

YOU LIE!

Race to the Top

Just as all Dems, who get thrown under the bus if they don't bootstep the line with WH marching orders, even the Obama children aren't safe from any tactic deemed necessary in the Race to the Top.

President Obama marked the first anniversary of his election on Wednesday by calling on states to toughen their education standards – and wound up calling on parents to toughen theirs, too, as he confessed that his 11-year-old daughter, Malia, recently got a 73 on her science test.

MALIA!!! THE BUS!! TURN AROUND!! GET OUT OF THE....

BAM! Too late. Daddy done throwed down. That'll teach ya. But wait, he didn't stop there, oh no.

He recounted how, a few years ago, she had come home with a grade in the 80s, believing that she had ‘’done pretty well.’’ He and his wife corrected her, telling her that their goal was “90 percent and up.’’

“So here’s the interesting thing: she started internalizing that,’’ the president said, adding that when she came home with a 73 on the science test ‘’she was depressed.’’

Race to the Top! And if you refuse, you will regret it.

The most interesting thing about this article isn't poor Malia getting thrown under the bus (can't wait for her book!), it's about the cautionary tale Barry is telling us in the guise of good parenting. If you don't do as you are told, if you don't internalize that death care is the goal, that cap and tax is the goal, or reject that any word that comes out of this man's mouth is a lie to forward the cause or that his foundation of hate has NOTHING to do with today, you too will be corrected. And the depression that follows will carry a cost more profound than an emotional price tag.

Ain't no therapy gonna cure that hot mess!

We all believe in education. We all believe that our children can do better. We all believe in helping them to achieve their very best. We all believe in public humiliation is the right tactic to set those little slackers straight.

Parenting gold. Pure Leadership by Example 101.

We have entered a dangerous time, where even The One's own children aren't safe from a figurative public spanking (um, what happened to respecting the children's privacy?!). We must watch every action out of Washington; every cause for division must be stopped.

Race to the Top indeed.
