Not only is Obama the product of hard work and education, but he was a teacher (constitutional law).

When's the last time we had a teacher as president?

GWB could barely speak English!

1. I was just listening today......
... to "Audacity" (as I often do) on the way home from work and he talked about how much fun he had teaching when he could literally wake his students up by getting them to debate a particular law case.

Would not surpise me if he doesn't go back to teaching one day.

3. How 'bout a former actor POTUS whose address to students meandered into a talk on tax cuts?
Just what the kiddies needed to hear.

6. It's true that speechifyin' wasn't Dubya's long suit. But I bet he
could clear brush better than Obama.

Come a brush-clearin' contest, lay your dollars down on ol' Dubya.

7. I, too, taught college. It's just NOT the same as teaching public school kids.
They're completely different planets.

I taught college. My sister and brother in law elementary and high school, respectively.
