29. that's a terrible cartoon.
Pooh, although he IS a bear of very little brain, is also quite genuinely genial and sometimes even thoughtful and profound. (See, for example "The Tao of Pooh"). It was Rabbit who concocted a plan to get Tigger lost in the Forest so he could be humbled and 'unbounced'. It was Rabbit who concocted a plan to kidnap Roo so that Kanga and Roo would leave the Thousand Acre Wood. Rabbit, in case you forgot, HAS BRAIN.

It was Pooh, on the other hand who built a "House at Pooh Corner" for the homeless EOR, and it was Pooh who took Piglet into his home when Owl's home was destroyed by a windstorm and Owl moved into Piglet's home. And, after some controversy when Tigger accidentally knocked EOR into the river, this exchange happened.

'"Tigger is all right really," said Piglet lazily.
"Of course he is," said Christopher Robin.
"Everybody is really," said Pooh. "That's what I think," said Pooh. "But I don't suppose I'm right," he said.
"Of course you are," said Christopher Robin.'


In the view of Pooh, there are NO 'others'. Not so in the world of Mr. Reyes as he looks and strains to find racism in 'others'. The others, you see, are not like us, they are not 'all right, really'. They are racists.

And how do you know they are racists? Why because these conservatives didn't mind when a conservative President spoke to school kids. Thus, the only reason they are getting upset when a non-conservative President does it is because the non-conservative President is black. Otherwise, logically, they should have objected to the conservative Presidents :crazy:

"Conservatives didn't mind when President George HW Bush and President Reagan addressed our schoolchildren, but they are in a tizzy over Obama's speech to students."

Talk about lack of Brain. That line is just dumb. Who would expect them to complain when THEIR guy gives a speech? Oof-da.
