Obamas Make History with Bold Choices

Yes, I know: Japan is in the middle of the meltdown of 4 nuclear reactors on the heels of a monster earthquake and biblical tsunami.  I’m aware that Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen and Libya remain a  tinderbox. Gas prices are up, food prices have skyrocketed nearly 4% in just one month – the most since 1974! There seem to be a lot going on in the world to set off the panic button. Butt I’m taking my cue from the Wons.

And their message is “stay focused on what’s important.”

wtf va

So yesterday Big Guy nailed his brackets for ESPN and met with students for a photo op to promote his WTF campaign. And Lady M was busy promoting her No Child’s Fat Behind program, and recasting it as a supporting actor in Big Guy’s WTF campaign.

It fell to JJ to assure everyone that the Big White was still voting present:

The President is being kept up to date and is constantly being briefed by his national security staff.  The national security staff in the White House is also coordinating a large interagency response with experts meeting around the clock to monitor the latest information coming out of Japan.

Science Talent Search Finalists:obamassciencegleeclub OK, from the top: “Mmmm, mmm, mmm”

In our ongoing WTF campaign, Big Guy met with the 40 finalists in the Intel Science Talent Search - the American Idol for geeks. Some of the projects that were included in this year’s competition were: Automatic Parallelization through Dynamic Analysis and Traveling the Interplanetary Superhighway. Two initiatives Big Guy would get behind if he had any idea what they were.

The President congratulated the students for embodying what is needed to out-educate our global competitors, adding that as the next generation of scientists, engineers, and technological leaders, their success is crucial for America to win the future. 

This year’s finalists include 16 girls and 24 boys who represent 39 schools in 15 states and were selected from over 1,700 applications to ensure as politically correct a group as we we could get (not that we notice that kind of thing).

Big Guy’s photo-ops from his visit to Kenmore Middle School in Arlington, VA on Monday:

In a related Big White press release Big Guy talked up the creation of his i6 Green initiative (don’t ask what that stands for, no one around here knows either).

President Obama has given us a strong vision of what it’s going to take to win the future – that’s by out-innovating, out-educating and out-building the rest of the world…The truth is that in the 21st Century, world economies are trying to do more with limited resources, and part of that ultimately means we can not have an energy sector that is rooted in the infrastructure of the past.

Got that? Carbon based fuels are sooooo last century. We’re on to wind, solar and nuclear and super-hamster technology. Because what better way to drive a $15 trillion economy in the 21st century than windmills?

Also yesterday, at her address to the National League of Cities Conference, Lady M introduced a new tack in her war on obesity.

Since everyone is suddenly all about economics and fiscal responsibility (where did that come from?) and because we’re now focusing on trying to keep every message focused on the central Big White Campaign 2012 theme, Winning the Future, she jumped on that bandwagon – you know, WTF?

“So make no mistake about it: When we talk about childhood obesity, we’re talking about the workforce that you’re trying to build,” she said. “We’re talking about businesses that you’re trying to attract. We’re talking about the budgets that you’re trying to balance each and every day.”

Lady M likes to recognize things that little people do “each and every day.” 

national league of cities

“…You’re uniquely positioned to put our communities on a stronger, healthier and more financially sound foundation for the future,” she said, echoing her husband’s “Winning the Future” mantra. “And that’s what really this effort is all about, in the end. It’s really about our future.”

I don’t get it, butt then, I’m not smart like Lady M, or Big Guy. Or David Plouffe.

In our new sense of fiscal responsibility we wore this little viscose jersey number that we originally wore (left) last Spring when Margarita was here.  We did get some nice new pearls, for the campaign season, to wear with it.

having a really bad day carmine

This dress does seem to bring out Lady M’s pugnacious tendencies. Maybe it’s the color: “Carmine”  She was pretty feisty, wasn’t she?

Any-hoo, don’t worry about the world crisis, we’re not. Big Guy’s got all his best advisors working on it. And we’re packin’ for spring break in Rio!

autobo Don’t worry, folks, Big Guy’s in the drivers seat. Watch out for that cliff ahead!

OMG, I almost forgot the boldest, most important presidential choices in history, let alone the last 48 hours:

  • Duke
  • Kansas
  • Ohio State
  • Pittsburgh

You can take that to the bank.

UPDATE: Big Guy may reconsider the weekend, and go to Japan to show his support.

BO playing throughUh…pardon me guys, just playing through.

    Come on Barky...OHIO is YOUR (BUCKEYE) swing state.

    Other than Consol Energy and their coal two other big employers here in the Pittsburgh area that are doing well in developing new energy sources...Westinghouse (which is owned by Japan's Toshiba...nuke plants!) and all the 'fracking' (obtaining previously unattainable natural gas!!! from our SW PA Marcellus Shale bed!

    St. Patty's with a man from Ireland.  Friday - off to Rio.  That's right - he's appointed a Czar to do the job of president.  He's too busy being a socialite.  Does he ever meet with Congress or the Senate?  And why is he going to Rio?  Not exactly the epicenter of world power or problems.  It is just another paycation.

  17. I was thinking last night about the Os. BO is just filling in time. MoochMO is flying everywhere, gesticulating everywhere, a whirlwind of meaningless events and vacays.  Why?

    BO has quit. Being President isn't as fun as he thought and Americans aren't as eager to adjust their lives to his ideas as he thought.

    But MoochMO has found her heaven. This "No Kids Fat Behinds" allows her to spend 24/7 promoting "her people" and herself. She can comment on infrastucture to governors, insist on more grocery stores in underserved (read "her people's) areas, bring her people's kids to the White House by the busload and pretend it's just coincidence that they are her people because most of nearby D.C. is her people. She has carte blanche to stick her nose into schools, restaurants, governor's offices, hobnob with sports stars, celebrities, self-designated intellectual academic leaders on her people's issues and it all flies under the radar as being for all Americans. She is still at heart attending Rev. Wright's church and putting his values into action. She feared in her thesis that she might forget her people when she became educated in the Ivy League -- no more reason to fear that, is there?

    This broad is is heaven -- especially because she is building her own road to the Senate, and who knows? the White House, too?

    All for her people. Who reprimanded Holder for saying that discrimination against voters today isn't important because it isn't as bad as that suffered by "his people." No one from the White House crticized him. A man in power openly avows racist values -- and no one criticizes him?

    Can we doubt that it is because those values are driving our government -- and the flying, pinwheeling, mugging, mess known as MoochMO?

  22. Well, MO stepped into it this time by blaming financial shortages and unemployment on FatBehinds!  If only the cities would lay down some sidewalks(?) then kids with FatBehinds would lose their chub by actually walking somewhere instead of depending on the City to, um, carry them.
    As MO states, FatCatEmployers will not locate in any community where it's known that kids with FatBehinds reside.
    It's also a fact that our NationalSecuity is compromised by all of the FatBehinds that can't squeeze into a tank or a jet plane seat.
    Kudos to MO for her efforts to balance the budget and make our nation secure by eliminating the FatBehinds of children.   Yay.

He's done so much damage in two years, I fear for our country if he has six more years to promote his agenda.

    All the things the Iw0ns have done and/or not done - too much to be circumstantial or even incompetent although that may be a part of it. They are deliberate in their destruction. I think there is already plenty of evidence to begin impeachment butt my respect for the R-words Congressional leadership is falling faster than a blob of ketchup from barry's cheezburger. Why are they letting barry's string pullers pull their strings too? It's time for the line in the sand. Every time they don't stand up to the lefties just makes it harder to stand up to them the next time.

  50. The reason those schools cost so much is the remedial programs and educators that have to be hired to teach. What kid gets into a college without two years of language, Algebra and Geometry, the ability to read above the second grade and comprehend what is read, a knowledge of American History or any other history, courses in Art (one needs to be a well rounded human being), phys ed, music appreciation, etc;? Answer; the kids who do not get all this in High Schools or never pass any of them. Most of them spend their time not learning a damned thing and, work very hard at it too.

  53. I agree!  FMIC should have chosen education as her platform, rather than school lunches.  But then, wouldnt that be stepping on the toes of teachers' unions?  Something about biting the hand that feeds you?

    Why do inner city schools under perform?  Why do "students of color" perform worse than their White or Asian counterparts?  Why can't every student gain access to a good education without the use of vouchers or outright lies (ie. using a relative's address to get into a better school) to get it?  And the list of questions go on.  People tend to answer on a surface level (emotional) without doing some deep soul-searching to produce hard hitting solutions.  It's always a race or economic issue.

  54. Pollutico has a story on the WH garden planting today:
    http://www.politico.com/click/stories/1103/book_deal_updated_garden_for_flotus.html

    (by Amie Parnes, the well-known FLOTUS suck-up)

    It seems that they didn't so much plant the garden, though, as they planted seedlings and sprouts that had actually been raised elsewhere.  In that mythical "White House greenhouse in an undisclosed location" that no one has actually ever seen.  The same greenhouse that was the source of "WH greens" served at the State Dinner or the Chinese tyrant in January.  Yeah right.

    In talking to the press about her "book" (maybe they can get whoever wrote Barky's books or him to do hers), she says the following:

    <span>"We've gotten food out of the garden, and we can eat it and it's good,"</span>

    Now, to me she sounds (not to insult anyone differently abled) borderline retarded when she speaks.  She does not use complex locutions, subordinate clauses, or any kind of structure.  She simply utters a series of simple phrases, interspersed with "see" and "y'know".  Her crude, vulgar speech and sloppy pronunciation is simply stunning in someone who is supposed to be well educated.  And of course a genius, etc.

  69. Interesting point Weavingbug.  As we all can testify, no ethnic or racial group was asked to  leave the classroom when math or any other subject was being taught.  Every one in the class had the same textbook, was given the same amount of homework and the same tests.

    We're supposed to believe that certain schools are 'bad' and others are 'good' without any explanation of how those qualities are determined. 
    Do 'bad' schools not have any textbooks or do their teachers speak only in a foreign language? 
    We all know what the answer is to this failure to educate but PC doesn't allow us to say it.

Long side swept bangs like the one MO (rather her wighat) is sporting is supposed to soften one's face.  But does not work when it coupled with wildly belligerent expressions and silly facial contortions.  On the positive side, she's not tied to that look.  Changing it is as simple as casting off that dirty hairpiece.  Plus those bangs (as long as she can tolerate them literally getting in her eye) do hide/ minimize her little eye. 
    But seeing the two faces of MO (before and after) as you can see, nothing has changed. 
    With the WTF re-election campaign kicking off, recycling her clothes makes good politican sense I suppose.  But is this tummy panel dress the best she could come up with?  How can I forget, finding ones that she can actually fit into again may be an issue!

  89. <span>"As he does every year, the President filled out his brackets predicting the winners of the men's and women's NCAA basketball tournaments, but discussing it with Doris Burke of ESPN, he began with a call to stand with the people of Japan:  
     
    "One of the things I wanted to do on the show was, as people are filling out their brackets -- this is obviously a national pastime; we all have a great time, it’s a great diversion.  But I know a lot of people are thinking how can they help the Japanese people during this time of need.  If you go to usaid.gov -- usaid.gov -- that will list all the nonprofits, the charities that are helping out there.  It would be wonderful for people to maybe offer a little help to the Japanese people at this time -- as they’re filling out their brackets.  It’s not going to take a lot of time.  That's usaid.gov.  It could be really helpful."</span>

    It's projected that he's going to raise a billion for his re-election bid, no wonder he's not scared about going to South America or doing any other damned thing that he pleases.

    Now, suppose BO bows out and all that money is sitting there -- isn't MoochMO the logical one to step into his shoes? She'll have exactly the same set of votes that he did. It worked once.

  108. I read a study that just asking AfAm students to identify themselves by race on a test form sent their grades plummeting -- by something as much as 40%. It seems that the constant victim-status awareness that is pounded into their outlook undercuts their confidence -- none of the students who screwed up the test could say why.

    But I'll tell you - one minute they were a person who was about to take a test - the next they were AfAms, not individuals. They were sucked back into group identity and it hampered them, made them less than who they are, saddled them with all the destructive messages taught them by idiot such as Jesse and Al and Rev. Wright and MoochMO.

    I saw him about 5 years ago in Saks at the jewelry counter with a gal...not the one he was married to when my former man friend was the Comptroller for his company...Pacific Arts I think it's called.  Yes, in 1977, when this was made, he was promoting "Pop Clips" a TV program with a DJ made up of promotional videos.  It became MTV. BTW, I'm sure the old 1977 wife was long gone by the 2000's.  I met them only once to watch the pitch for Pop Clips...she was a bit much. Actually, I like his solo music.

    Another fun Mike fact:  His mother invented "Whiteout".

    Well, at my public school in Backward Hickville, Texas, arts and music education did not continue beyond elementary school, except as an elective (band). :(   Butt I still managed to enter college with three years of Spanish under my belt as well as excellent language and reading, and competency in math skills (pre-TAKS days). Then again, teaching and education were a whole different ball game in those days. The real reason I took three years of Spanish instead of just the one required for the academic track was that I had an awesome Spanish teacher who made you want to learn.

    Truly amazing teachers can be found in small towns because they 1) don't want to deal with enormous, labrynthine school systems and 2) like my mom, think that even kids in backwater schools deserve a good education.

    Where are those gardens, anyway? I've looked at a satellite view of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, zoomed in as close as it will let you, and I don't see anything that looks like a cultivated vegetable garden, let alone one that produced 2,000 lbs. of produce. And I hear that MO is now going to write a book about the White House gardens!

  126. I guess we will have to agree to disagree. It's not about ability or competence and there are millions of people who are swooning under the spell of the 0-Baka's (I like that - 'idiot' in Japanese). m0 can stand up there and talk gibberish and barry can be a do-nothing alleged president yet we are in danger of them being (re)-elected. With a billion $ in campaign money (how does barry know he will get that? does he have a commitment from Soros?) there's plenty of money for slime ads and to buy vote fraud. We cannot assume stupidity or incompetence or even an anti-American agenda will prevent the 0-Baka's from remaining in the best public housing in the country.
