I mean really- can't draw a tiger? Pathetic! What kind of leader is that? :roll:

Following a rough, scandal-filled week in Washington, President Barack Obama got dressed down by a bunch of kids.

During a visit to Moravia Park Elementary School in Baltimore, Md., Friday, the president was asked to do another challenging task: Draw a tiger.

"I got to help with one of the lessons. We were having to draw zoo animals," Obama said in a speech at Ellicott Dredges, a dredging manufacturing plant he went to after his school tour. "And I’ve got to say, my tiger was not very good."

He added, "The kids were unimpressed. They kind of looked at it, they said, 'That doesn’t look like a tiger.' But they were amazing."

The president sat in with a class of 4- and 5-year-olds while visiting Baltimore Friday as part of his "Middle Class Jobs & Opportunity Tours.”

    He needs to stop "Touring" and get back to Washington and show the kids what hard work can accomplish. He thinks he's a freaking Rock Star or something....He's in hot water so NOW he wants to talk about jobs?
    Just more bla bla bla........

    I think he just needs a few drawing lessons. Perhaps I should send him a copy of the Nicolaides book. :D

    Okay. So I've defended President Bush for sitting in a classroom reading "my pet goat" while th country was indeed under attack.
    Yet your going to say this? Just goes to show that you right leaners here aren't as open as you claim to be, and attack us left leaning folk with the "looking through blue tinted glasses" far too much.
    At least we are fair, and consistent.
    You? I'm sorry, but you are just full of shit.

    To call this president out for this, but stand behind Bush for the other, shows how fair you really are.
    Have a great weekend.
    Peace, Love.

    Bush is not the problem at hand, you lefty's keep refering to Bush every time your super hero is laughed at or even mentioned,obama's ass is in the fire and it is not Bush's fault,as far as this school and tiger thing....who gives a shit ? I probably couldn't draw a tiger either.
    obama's entire presidential stay has been nothing but controversy starting with his birth and college records to his mishandeling of the budget to Binghazi to the IRS crap and he rarely ever gives a straight answer when questioned about his policey's ....but that's Bush's fault right ? :fp:

    Obama's ass isn't in the fire.

    I'm not pardoning him from anything here... but these 'scandals' the radical, right wing nut jobs so desperately are trying to paint as the biggest atrocities ever committed by an elected commander in chief are peanuts compared to the scandals you people have been forced to stomach from nearly every other president. Especially Bush who ran your gawddamn country into the ground- leaving a hell of a mess for anyone who was to follow. Of course... those with a diminished capacity would be incapable of understanding simple cause and effect principles: they simply live in the now without any understanding for the past's part in it and consideration for the future. For example, the types I speak of understand things like, "I'm hungry" or "I'm thirsty" or "I'm hot." They can't see past their own needs to look at a problem from a more profound perspective. Leads me to think I may have wasted my time writing this passage (it's full of multi-syllable words).

    Let me say again... peanuts.

    Aerial... your consistent pettiness leads one to believe that there is a hatred for the man that runs much deeper than simply politics. Would you care to elaborate? Is there something else about Obama that makes you spit venom at every mention of his name?

    Again you unto something that the country was in such bad shape we did the UNTHINKABLE of electing a black man to be President with a funny foreign name. Yes it appears there seems to be some innate hatred towards the President that goes beyond his politics and his administration. As bad as things got under President Bush I never hated the man I had more pity for many of the foolish decisions he made.

    The situation with this administration just isn't that bad. It sounds like some people (not pointing fingers here) want this administration to implode and will be disappointed if it doesn't. A lot of energy is going into stymieing rather than creating and moving ahead.

    This White House has been horrible at transparency. In 2010, in more than a third of the requests for public records, the Obama administration didn't provide any information. In fact, the administration has released fewer records under the Freedom of Information Act than were released during the George W. Bush administration.

    In case some of you missed it, the point of this thread was to illustrate how desperate some are to disparage the current administration. As for not being able to draw tigers- at least our currant president made an effort to sit down with some kids and do something creative rather than just hold books upside down and stare off into space.

    Of course, just looking presidential is not the most important job of being a president, but it is a factor that should not be overlooked either- the man does represent us here in the U.S. Looking at the picture posted above (thank you, gimme) I am thankful to now have a president who represents us with a lot more class. As I say, it's not the most important aspect, but it helps and we need all the help we can get.
