Obama's Next Job: Malia And Sasha's Principal

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — President Barack Obama already has his next job lined up – he's following daughters Malia and Sasha to high school to serve as their principal.

Obama decided on his new career path during a trip to Memphis, Tenn., to deliver the commencement address at Booker T. Washington High School. The principal's daughter told Obama she decided not to go to her mom's school because she was worried boys would be afraid to talk to her with her mom lurking in the halls.

The president liked the idea so much, he joked to the students that his next job will be principal at his daughters' high school.

Obama added: "And then president of their college."

What a wonderful father President Obama is to those 2 beautiful girls. What a wonderful example he is for the entire country. It's just so great to have a President that CARES about education knowing that is the great equalizer and the answer to many of the country's biggest problems.

The best leader , Westpointer, honest, honorable,loyal, patriotic Gen. Petraeus and the US Miltary should temporarily run our gov't. The alternative very soon is the inevitable, irreversible destruction of our country. Our career politicians on both parties are now like third world banana republic politicians who are selfish, incompetent ,lazy, corrupt, arrogant, self-serving, self-enriching, only interested in their re-election to steal more money and maintain their power, arrogance and wealth. Our current civilian gov't and Congress are now non-functioning , deadlocked, very partisan, unable to solve our problems in time before our country is destroyed. We can't afford to take a chance. It might be too late. We can always replace these career , corrupt, unpatriotic politicians but we can't replace or get back our real , honorable, republic, honest, patriotic, hardworking American citizens and our country once we become bankrupt and become a socialist, communist or islamic country.

Those of you who want to know who's going to beat Obama in 2012 the answer is whoever the Republicans nominate. His level of incompetence assures that whoever opposes him will be the next president.

He'a a one-termer.

The only way he'll be a one-termer is because of h8ters like you who can't take it that he has so many accomplishments that the teapublicans couldn't achieve and you all won't be able to take anymore successes. You rather the country to go down. Your h8 is so beyond reasoning, that you can't even think straight.

How awesome would it be if his new job was breaking rocks in a prison for war crimes? Right next to his mentors Bush and Cheney. Dare to dream.

[dclintn648]

What war crimes?

[adam in oregon]

10:05 AM on 05/18/2011

Oh I don't know, bombing civilians all over the world, using DU weapons, starting an unprovoked war in Libya, continuing torture, rendition, and not prosecuting Bush/Cheney. Need any more, or is that enough? It is enough for me.

Obama is irreversibly destroying our country. Look at what Obama did to our country in just 2 years in office. Obama borrowed and spent trillions of dollars recklessly to bail out his cronies in Wall Street, Big Banks, Carmakers, Unions to quadruple our debt which is now $ 14 trillion, unemployment rate of 9 %, highest use of food stamps, longer time for unemployment checks, highest bankruptcies, foreclosures, highest poverty rate. We are now near paying a trillion dollars just in interest alone of our debt yearly. We are still raising the debt limit and not cutting spending but continued borrowing, printing and spending for all these welfare programs, illegal aliens, Obama 's cronies unions, ACORN , Planned parenthood, many liberal organizations, state union and federal employees. We are rapidly running out of time. Disprove any of these facts when replying. Other responses like name calling will be ignored. We can't afford even any one more day of Obama's incompetence economically, militarily, intellectually, anti-Americanism, Islamic and illegal alien symphatetic, anti-CIA, anti -US Military . With these economic numbers Obama needs to resign RIGHT NOW to prevent our bankruptcy and LET THE patriotic, honest, loyal, trusted, most disciplined US MILITARY TAKEOVER TEMPORARILY, PEACEFULLY AND IN A BLOODLESS MANNER the civilian gov't and Congress, to clean them of corruption, bribery, incompetence , graft, arrogance, tyranny, stealing of taxpayer's money and restore the honest, trustworthy, patriotic, loyal, duty , country, brave, strong , prosperous America we love and knew.

Do you really believe all that bilge you just wrote? Did you look under your bed to see if President Obama put a boogie man there also?

So your advocating a revolution, right? Who is supposed to run this military takeover,Rush maybe? Your are talking in one sentence about the President's so-called failings and the best you can do in trying to resolve anything is to commit treason? With a Coup de Etat? Sometimes I just laugh with some of the comments that come from s0-called 'real' americans such as yourself. But this...? To use the military to take over the country? That's your solution? Please tell me you're drunk while writing that ins.a.n.e piece? Please?

Judging by your inability to spell, use punctuation, or articulate anything worth reading, you'd do well to go back to school yourself. Now come back here when you can honor the civil right you unfortunately possess of being in an open forum.

I like the idea. What a better job for him than to be a pricipal in Washington DC with a failing education system. Now that is what needs "change". Start now, Please! There is still time to save the country.

Who do the Republicans have to even run against him, much less beat him? Trump's out, Huckabee's out, Gingrich doesn't have a chance, Palin won't give up the big money she's making and I'm pretty sure Daffy Duck is a Democrat.

[Gperky]

07:06 PM on 05/17/2011

I think anyone could run against him and win with his record and ratings. Even his supporters are tired of the lies he has told them. NOT one promise has been kept except to shove health care down our throats.

You're so full of h8 that you can't even think straight. His 1st term won't be up until January 20, 2013 and his 2nd term, January 20th, 2017 at 12 noon EST. So, just take it straight-up with no chaser.

Before becoming President, Obama actually never was the leader of anything and to misguide kids even for one day like he has mislead America for the past 2 years is simply disgusting to me.
