Grasping at straws...

[Raven]

A friend of mine's oldest daughter graduated from Junior High yesterday. There was an award ceremony last night and this kid walked away with a boat load of awards, not the least of which was a commendation from President Obama for being on the Honor Roll for the entire year. This came in the form of a Certificate signed by the President. Now this exceptional child got a bunch of other awards but this seemed to be the one that meant the most.

Enter a Republican friend of ours who, after hearing about this, complained about how much money it must have cost "to print all of those certificates and send them to all of those kids."

I don't think I need to say more....

2. I hope the friend told her what a ridiculous statement that was and walked

away laughing. It's the only way to deal with these Rwingnuts. Ridicule them and then laugh at them.

6. She did exactly that! Told him that this was an expenditure of

taxpayers' money that was worth something.

7. Funny, my daughter had a certificate like that signed by president Bush

I was looking at it and I said "hey, that's not Obama's signature!" (I didn't see this until this week).

Apparently your Republican friend is an idiot (yes, I know it was already obvious) if he thinks Obama initiated this sort of thing. :eyes:

9. They're on a tear about how much money he spends

Because their brains (the pundits who tell them what to think being their brains) are saying it.

Did you tell the Republican friend that he's a crappy cheapskate for wishing the daughter didn't get a great reward for her efforts?

10. Bush sent them out, too.There was a thread last year about it--should the parent or kid refuse it...

... because it was signed by W.

Perhaps your Pub friend will feel better knowing that W also sent them out. :eyes:

11. As I said above, my daughter has one

I think, knowing how much I hate Bush, she didn't proudly show it to me (she hates Bush too).
