5. Think lower

I used to teach 3rd graders, and I used to teach kindergarten. Jindal's presentation was lower than that.

I think we have to start calling him "Barney" Jinda.

[Richardo]

6. HA!

I'll defer to the teachers, two of my brothers teach :patriot:

[wickerwoman]

10. Yep. That's exactly the tone I used with kindergarteners.

And the brighter ones found it condescending.

I had to turn it off after three minutes.

And here I was thinking finally *finally* after eight years we have a president who doesn't treat us like dolts.. like he has the answers and just shut up and shop and don't ask questions.

And then along comes this patronizing yahoo who says exactly the same things Obama said and acts like he's disagreeing. It's pretty obvious he didn't even watch Obama's speech. He wrote his response days ahead of time and just read it off a teleprompter. I was really embarrassed for him by the time I had to switch it off.

13. Really good analysis....

8. He's going for the 2020 vote

Very sneaky.

[Richardo]

9. OK I have to do math in my head - not easy for a PoliSci major.

:D

[Canuckistanian]

11. I had to do some scribbling myself

Your average 3rd grader is now 8 years old. 2008, 8 years old.

It gets easy from there.

12. i thought he was hilarious, i was waiting for him to pull out the magic mirror

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. After listening to Bobby still looking for my binkie and my blankie

anybody seen them?

Oh wait, listening to the repeat.... and refreshed to have an adult talk to me like an adult.

Sadly the RNC has now adopted the talk to them like children... hell even reagan wasn't that bad, and this started with Nixon

[SmileyRose]

15. could not be helped - they both talked to their peers.

although I'll have to admit most 3rd graders I know are smarter and more honest (by a longshot) than Republicans.

18. Ba-ZING!

:rofl:

16. Bravo! n/t
