One of the reasons why teaching became so unpalatable to me was the whining I had to put up with. Some spoiled children simply did not know how to interact with others. No matter the situation it was always someone else’s fault; it was always someone else picking on them for whatever reason. Regardless of their own behavior, these students would rarely own up to having caused a problem. They just couldn’t seem to bring themselves to talk through an issue. They opted instead for name calling and retaliation.
Sound familiar? Tit for tat. We tried to nip this sort of thing in the bud in kindergarten. It became especially unsavory by the third grade. But coming from the White House administration this behavior is revolting. BO’s behavior toward Fox News and the Chamber of Commerce (to name just two) make this country look weak in the eyes of our enemies. These are not school yard bullies we’re dealing with here. These are real enemies that could bomb our _____ back to the Stone Age if they chose to. Comrade President is already an object of disdain to banana republic dictators. His current behavior lowers his status to that of laughingstock.
If the American people were embarrassed by BO’s “apology tour” early in his Presidency, his latest behavior makes us want to collectively shield our faces with our hands, pretend we don’t know him, sneak out the back gate, and leave little Barry on the playground whining “Teacher, Fox News is being me-he-he-he-hean to me.”
