Hey, Obama can't get in. Locked out of WH? LOL

Today on the New York Daily News's Web site appear a picture and story of President Obama having trouble getting back into the White House.

The article begins:
It looks like President Obama hasn't gotten acquainted to his White House surroundings. On the way back to the Oval Office Tuesday, the President approached a paned window, instead of the actual door -- located a few feet to his right.

Doors didn't open automatically for Obama’s predecessor either. While making a hasty exit from a 2005 press conference in Beijing, former President George W. Bush tugged on the handles of a door, only to find it locked.

Bush laughed off the blunder, but the pictures still live on as part of Bush's lame duck legacy. However, there was little note taken of Obama's rookie mistake. If he can't find his way into the Oval office, how can he find his way to fix anything.

Smut Education not working!

The headlines read that STDs have reached a new, all time high. Isn't it time to realize that the sex ed in schools is ineffective. Our system of education has gotten out of hand. By telling students that they have "rights", they are telling them to do anything that they want without consequences. But there are always consequences. In one way or another.

Instead of teaching them about how to have sex, why not try teaching them about having respect for each other. The young men to have respect for themselves and the young women. The young women to have respect for themselves and look to the future they could have without the danger of STDs or pregnancy.

Part of this is due to the fact that teachers are not working to show children how to become effective adults. I think in inner city schools especially, focusing on work, how to apply for a job, responsibilities for taking care of yourself, opportunities for life outside big cities, and such should be looked at. Children raised at risk do not have any kind of self esteem. They are not helped by the school system which should show them ways to break the cycle. It is too bad that they are not taught the skills of parenting so that they will be better equipped to change the system.

The Times Praise of President Bush

I read this article from the times entitled "Three Cheers for the Bush Doctrine" which surprised me. Some actual truth coming from the news media. Finally, someone is saying the truth about him and not denigrating his efforts to bring stability to the middle east. Unfortunately, most of the media cannot see the forest for the trees (or treehugger mentality). They should step back, look at the big picture for what it truly is and not their biased slant on this.
