Like almost all teenagers, he lies...for no good reason

In another excellent column, Bert Prelutsky calls BarryO the man who would be G-d. That IS what teenagers want, though this column idea and Barone's (in my previous post) may seem to be coming at Mr. Hip from two different directions.

Teenagers of today want a couple things that these columns point out so well. They want to do whatever Mom and Dad say they aren't allowed to do. They want to do whatever they damn well please, whenever they damn well please. They want Power - the power to hurt Mom and Dad (teachers, bosses) for being such idiots and embarrassments to the coolness they believe they possess.

For instance, when he jammed through the trillion-dollar pork pie, he claimed it was so urgently needed, he couldn’t spare the legislators even 48 hours to plow through the 1,100 pages. However, once they passed the bill, Obama waited four days before flying off to Denver to sign it.

These attitudes are temporary and not as strong in children who have been raised with discipline and respect for their elders, for the property of others, and for their Country. Lovely Daughter has passed through the stage and is a fine young wife, mother, and employee today. I'm not taking credit for that, but it's how I was raised so it's how she was raised.

BarryO and company have never grown up, they have remained ill-mannered contrary little brats...with the Power to force our children and grandchildren into servitude.

A second lie that recently went unquestioned by the media was Obama’s claim that he had only given President Sarkozy short shrift when he was in France because it was essential that he get back to the Oval Office and make those tough decisions that only he can make. And, sure enough, it turned out that within an hour of his return to Washington, he was on the golf course, making one of those gut-wrenching executive decisions -- deciding whether to use a putter or a sand wedge from the edge of a bunker.
