CO State Board of Ed Chief calls Obama "Captain Kangaroo"

[donco6]

Republican jerk who lost his last election rips on Obama:

"There's little doubt that the target audience wasn't kindergartners through fourth-graders; it was sophomores on up who will be voting in the 2012 election," Schaffer said.

Schaffer said Obama stepped over the line by commandeering the attention of the nation's schoolchildren with a "very warm and self-serving political message. This was an arrogant abuse of power, an abuse of the executive office," Schaffer said. "Barack Obama should remember he is commander in chief, not Captain Kangaroo."

2. Seems such a simple thing for them to make TOTAL ASSES of themselves over. n/t

[librechik]

17. Schaffer was a total ass in the first place n/t

[boobooday]

20. Of course many of them were, so let me clarify

demonstrating their total ass-ness.

3. They really live in a different plane of existance

I mean unless work hard & stay in school is a political message and self serving. But then again I suppose it very well could be seen that way, after all the more educated their kids get the less likely they'll be dumb enough to fall for this shit.

4. That idiot should resign

Simply put, stupid people should not be running Boards of Education

[donco6]

6. I'm sure he thought he was being terribly clever.

This guy is a total ass. And his son was nailed during the election last year with this really racist web site.

Headline on his Facebook page: Slavery gets shit done.

[monmouth]

5. You have to wonder, do they actually listen to themselves??....n/t

[Berry Cool]

7. He didn't CALL him Captain Kangaroo, he said he should remember he's NOT Captain Kangaroo.

But the guy's an idiot, anyway.

[cherokeeprogressive]

24. Funny how everybody missed that. n/t

[pecwae]

8. I liked Captain Kangaroo and Mr Green Jeans.

[nevergiveup]

9. Me too

I knew Captain Kangaroo and Barack Obama is no Captain Kangaroo.

[donco6]

12. LOL!

That would work.

[C_U_L8R]

29. Time for Mister Bunny Rabbit

to unleash his ping pong balls

[tridim]

21. And Mr. McFeeley nt

[NOW tense]

10. Oh do you mean Big Oil Bob AKA Sweatshop Bob

Friend of Jack Abramoff

What he says about the Mariana Islands:
In a recent interview with The Denver Post, the Republican candidate for Colorado's open Senate seat described the protectorate's guest-worker program as a "model" lawmakers could use as they overhaul the U.S. immigration system.

11. The very one.

I guess he would be the expert on "self-serving."

[sinkingfeeling]

13. Why in the world would Colorado have that type of person as head of the State Board of Education? He

appears to be totally partisan and ignorant.

[donco6]

30. Which describes half our population to a T.

Partisan and ignorant. He's their guy.

14. Poor Bob

15. Shaeffer has been an idiot for a long time

How he ever got elected to anything is a testament to the Colorado Rethug party.

[Are_grits_groceries]

16. He's just jealous because

he doesn't have a Mr.Moose or Bunny Rabbit.

[Jennicut]

18. The message was "too warm" and Obama is "too likable"

The real fear is that Obama has captured the attention of young people...they like him and the parents and conservatives knew they would and that makes them afraid. They have lost the youth of this country...just look at the election in 2008. That is what is driving this.

[HopeHoops]

19. PING PONG BALLS!

The Dollar Tree has a toy gun that shoots ping pong balls. It holds four. Wouldn't it be great to ambush the asshole with about a hundred of those things? Each person can hold two!

[unblock]

22. making a speech is an abuse of power?

making everything about it voluntary is an abuse of power?

[mimitabby]

25. most of the comments following the article
