Right-wing columnist tells conservatives to "get a grip" on Obama's school speech
Advertisements [?]
Dan Calabrese, co-founder of the conservative "North Star Writers Group," and whose work is entirely anti-Obama as you can see in his archive, today says the following about the poutrage from conservatives regarding Obama's scheduled speech to school-children on September 8th:

But, but . . . what if Obama gets inside his mind and turns him into a plodding collectivist? What if he ends up on the playground arguing that the soccer rules should be changed to redistribute goals to each team according to its needs?

Holy crap. Conservatives, I love you, but sometimes you people really need to get a grip.

The president is addressing kids. Big deal. I can remember Gerald Ford asking kids to tell their parents to turn off the lights when we left a room because we all needed to conserve energy or something. We were all supposed to write letters to the president telling him what we were going to do about this. I wrote one. Got a reply, even! It wasn’t from Ford himself, but from some dunderhead who worked for him. Said dunderhead probably sent the same letter to millions of kids.
