CAT Tracks for December 11, 2015
"A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE" |
Just received my "Daily Headlines" e-mail from The New York Times and WHOA!
The bipartisan measure, which Mr. Obama hailed as "a Christmas miracle," shrinks the federal role in education and returns power to states and local districts.
Talk about spinning the bad news fantastic!!!
Dear God in Heaven...
...wonder how Obama would play it if the Republicans ever (after a gazillion failed attempts) repealed Obamacare???
Hmmm...
...maybe in the spirit of the season, he would break into song:
"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" (you finally got your way.)
Or, maybe an updated version of the novelty classic:
"Obamacare got run over by a reindeer, walking home from Congress Christmas Eve" (HO HO HO)
I mean...
...the one and only reason that Democrats and Republicans finally came together to rewrite ESEA was because Obama and Duncan stretched their executive powers to the breaking point when they bribed states with RTTT money to accept their views of education reform.
So, President Obama, try to claim victory all you want...
...it has a hollow ring indeed.
And, in closing, the appropriate Christmas ditty that comes to my catty mind is...
