What a terrible thing to do to a kid. Not everyone is cut out to be leader of the free world.

Then your a idiot.

He is saying get the testing right, not create more and more tests. Teach kids the materials, don't just prepare them to pass the tests.

I totally disapprove of this. Look Obama, you're kids didn't ask to be the most famous little girls in the country, leave them totally and completely out of your policy speeches.

It's great that your kid was able to pull her grades up, but most children do not have the benefit of an expensive private school, a mother and grandmother at home, and an army of servants to take care of their every whim, so let's not act like she's the norm, mkay?

Meh. He's probably just trying to appeal to the everyman. "Look, I know what you're going through. My kids struggle with school sometimes too."

I'm sure Malia didn't appreciate it much though.

Did you look at my post AT ALL before you opened your cock hole?
NO you didn't.

You are all missing the point. He made the teacher give her the answers (read study guide) and use only those questions the second time. And yes his girls are way to good for public schools.

Grouchyoldman: And yes his girls are way to good for public schools.

I'll just let that one sit there for a while and enjoy the irony.

So you think Obama said "I's" and it wasn't a typo or were you just trying to be funny? I don't expect humor from you or any Republicans really. They are horrible at it.

So ignore my post if that was what you were trying to do.

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.'

This is why it would be more fun growing up a Bush daughter than an Obama daughter.

Grouchyoldman: And yes his girls are way to good for public schools.

While I would never send my kids to private schools, and I understand how it looks like hypocrisy for a liberal to do so, there is the security factor to consider. Just because Matt Santos sent his kids to DC public schools doesn't mean the USS would want a real president to do so. We went through this with Chelsea Clinton.

Hey...did you drink when you were a teenager? How about in college?

Now, what would have happened if we had the worlds media follow you around during that time? Lay off the Bush girls. They not only *DIDN'T* ask to be the most famous twins in the world, they actually asked their father NOT to run.

He needs somebody who knows how to deal with slackers:

We send our kid to a private school (well, pre-k) Partially because we want to have religion as part of her education (yes, liberal Christians exist, no I don't think the earth is 6k years old)
but anyway, I don't feel like a hypocrite, because we're still subsidizing education w/our taxes and not tapping the system at all.

Well that does it then.

Impeach!!1

So she got a 73 then a 95, and the 95 came from working hard and studying? Well clearly she should give up some of her 95 so that the 'less fortunate' can have their fair share, after all they took the test the same as everyone else so they deserve to have a good grade too. It's not their fault if they didn't work hard right?

Anyone who doesn't have all that is a loser and shouldn't be allowed to breed.

benlonghair: What a terrible thing to do to a kid. Not everyone is cut out to be leader of the free world.

Particularly the man with no record who is our president...

Until the media does its job and tells us what grades Obama got, he's got nothing on his daughter. All we know about his high school years is that he didn't like his basketball coach and "did a little blow."

So long as its a Catholic school with a strong academic basis, I find nothing wrong with this.

Anything that isn't a Catholic elementary/highschool, though, I find very suspect.

/not Catholic
//don't agree with Catholics, but at least they have an intellectual tradition in the religion

The only person Obama won't throw under a bus is Michelle. Word is, he's really scared she'll kick his ass.

They need to get his "real" birth certificate too, right?

Grouchyoldman: And yes his girls are way to good for public schools.

Public schools? Don't you mean Socialist Government Takeover of Education^TM?

Funny, when did I mention ANYTHING about his birth certificate? We've seen Bush, Clinton, Gore's, Kerry's, and McCain's high school and college grades. How does it make me a "birther" to simply ask the media to file requests with the universities and schools to see Obama's?

jyoders19: We've seen Bush, Clinton, Gore's, Kerry's, and McCain's high school and college grades.

We have? I know Bush certainly didn't release them. They were leaked.

The moral of the story, in the president's view: "Don't just expect teachers to set a high bar. You've got to set a high bar."

Hows THAT for personal responsibility, aye, conservatives?

What's that? You can't spell responsibility?

Well all right then.

Yeah, I'll get a job. When I hear the true call. I know it when I hear it.

Who cares? At this point, he's already the President. I don't care if he once got a D in college. Nobody cares.

Why don't you do that yourself? Stop relying on other people to try and discredit the President and show some initiative. Unless doing all that would be too much work for you, in which case you shouldn't rely on other people to provide something for you simply because you're too damned lazy to do it yourself.

Bootstraps, son. Bootstraps.

Here are news stories about each of the aboves. I NEVER asked the Obama White House to release his grades. I said the media should be doing their job and FOIAing the shiat out of the institutions he studied at.
Kerry's shiatty grades (new window)
Bush's AND Gore's shiatty grades (new window)
Clinton released his own
McCain wrote about his in "Faith of My Fathers"

This is on course for Barry. Soon as something becomes undesirable, throw it under the bus and never look back.

Who are these "other people" I'm relying on? Asking the media to do its job is "relying on other people?" Wow.

...WTF? Am I the only one just at a loss about all the outrage? Did people slam their faces into their desks after reading about the lower grade and miss that the complete story is one of a success? And there is zippo controversial about a simple statement on working harder to improve one's own grades.

I do and I'm sure the daughter he just threw under the bus for gettting a C does. Could be he's a huge hypocrite, throwing her out there like that when he got far worse. Thanks for bringing it back to the discussion so succinctly.
