Children: Can You Say “OORAH!”?

Lesson of the Day: The camera doesn’t lie, only the TelePrompter does. The Ballad of ‘Obama Killed Osama’ has hit a brick wall. The Truth came along and did it in. Making it worse for overworked and over paid spin meisters, after almost three years not every college student is an Obama groupie; not every little grade school kid is licking the Michelle lollipop. Even with the plethora of frog-marching-with-left professors, there are (Thank God) independent thinkers in every university in the land.

For the lollipop set, Mom and Dad are still the heroes, not the current couple in the White House. Try as you might to change it, If there is one thing kids innately know is what a show-off is. So if Michelle Obama wants to boogie to the sound of Beyonce music or celebrate cop-hating poet rappers at the White House, too-many-to-count American young people continue to march to their own band. Little gaffers still in their rompers learn from their parents that heroes cannot be astro-turfed. A true to life hero becomes a hero through selflessness and sacrifice and earn their status by virtue of having their own skin in the game. Message to Barack Obama from today’s earnest youth: “Stop with the self-hero worship and start doing your job so we can find one after graduation.” Message to Michelle from the backpack set: “You can’t force us to eat our broccoli, only our Moms can do that.” Out there in Made-up Hero Land, Obama has fallen off his crooked horse. The two-week old “Obama Killed Obama” mantra is now been replaced by “OMG, he lied!” Even with all the media marbles in your alley bag, the truth has a way of popping right up in the astroturf. And as of yesterday those who were suspicious now all know that Obama was nowhere near the heroic Navy Seal takedown of Osama bin Laden, having been blacked out with White House cohorts during the Main Event. Children going to school today will be shouting “OORAH!” “CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports the 40 minutes it took to kill bin Laden and scoop his archives into garbage bags were all recorded by tiny helmet cameras worn by each of the 25 SEALs. (CBS News, May 12, 2011). “Officials reviewing those videos are still reconstructing a more accurate version of what happened. We now know that the only firefight took place in the guest house, where one of bin Laden's couriers opened fire and was quickly gunned down. No one in the main building got off a shot or was even armed, although there were weapons nearby. “The SEALs first saw bin Laden when he came out on the third floor landing. They fired, but missed. He retreated to his bedroom, and the first SEAL through the door grabbed bin Laden's daughters and pulled them aside. “When the second SEAL entered, bin Laden's wife rushed forward at him -- or perhaps was pushed by bin Laden. The SEAL shoved her aside and shot bin Laden in the chest. A third seal shot him in the head.” What about that picture that went viral with President Obama, Hillary Clinton et al looking so worried in the White House Situation Room? Brought to you courtesy of drama! “Leon Panetta, director of the CIA, revealed there was a 25 minute blackout during which the live feed from cameras mounted on the helmets of the US special forces was cut off. A photograph released by the White House appeared to show President Barack Obama and his aides in the situation room watching the action as it unfolded. In fact they had little knowledge of what was happening in the compound.” (The (British) Telegraph, May 12, 2011). The completely fabricated ‘Obama Killed Osama’ gig is up. A new T-shirt is coming onto the market that says: Obama lied to my parents and all I got was this T-shirt.” P.S: for Soetoro from America’s long-suffering youth: If we want your instructions in how to improve our golf swing, don’t call us, we’ll call you.
