This ain’t baseball…….

Which makes President Obama lucky he plays golf not baseball.  Because, in baseball, it’s three strikes and you’re out.  Obama has swung at a lot of political balls…and, missed.

Take, for instance, Obama thinking that if he bowed to other world leaders, that submissive move would somehow make China or Russia, or anyone, like him more.  Currently, Putin is snubbing Obama’s every international plan.  Strike 1.

Take, for instance, Obama thinking that he understood economics enough to promise that the stimulus would keep unemployment below 8% and our economy humming.  Currently, unemployment is well over 8% and has been for much too long.  The latest GDP prediction is below 2%.  Strike 2.

Take, for instance, Obama thinking he could buffalo the American voter and hide his own ignorance.  Remember the election of 2010 or Governor Scott Walker’s win in Wisconsin?  Strike 3.

Well, actually, these are only some of the strikes against President Obama or his strategies….all of which have failed.  If you considered the fiasco with the executive privilege declaration for Eric Holder,  the foolish attempt to try terrorists in civil court or the debunked idea of closing Guantanamo, and other foolish ideas “pitched” by Obama, you would have to say his presidency is a complete failure.

So, Obama is definitely lucky this ain’t baseball.  Maybe he should stick with golf…..at least that is something he has played often enough in the last 3 years to have some experience with!

Truth and Consequences

It’s true that some Wisconsin teachers skipped school to protest Governor Walker’s budget proposal.

It’s true that Wisconsin teachers are under contract to TEACH.

It’s true that some Wisconsin teachers got fake sick slips from roaming bands of doctors.

It’s true that Wisconsin teachers are willing to lie to their employers – i.e., us the taxpayers.

It’s true that the cost to districts when Wisconsin teachers played hooky  ran into the millions – which Wisconsin does NOT have!

Isn’t it also true that there should be consequences?

Wisconsin School District Docks Pay of Teachers Who Skipped School to Attend Protests…

The Port Washington-Saukville School District will dock the pay of 82 teachers who skipped school last Thursday to protest Gov. Scott Walker’s budget bill in Madison, Supt. Michael Weber said Tuesday.

The absences, which left the district without about 43% of its teachers, essentially crippled the school system. Administrators were forced to close the high school 1-1/2 hours after students arrived because there weren’t enough teachers to staff classrooms.

Other schools remained opened, but principals scrambled to find enough substitute teachers to supervise the more than 800 students at the middle school. Parent-teacher conferences scheduled for Thursday had to be cancelled.

The teacher absences shocked school officials and parents, who said they thought the Port Washington-Saukville School District would be the last place to experience a mass exodus of teachers because of the remarkably good relationship between the district and union. The district was one of only a handful in this area of the state forced to cancel classes because of teacher absences.
