Yesterday, President Barack Hussein Obama, (You remember him, the guy was supposed to make the oceans rise and fall if he got elected ?) held a Twitter Town Hall, using the White House’s Twitter account.

Of course, this was nothing more than an effort by the rapidly failing POTUS to use the 96 character format in an effort to reach out to the young and impressionable and show them that he is still cool and how he just looooves using the new social media.

Back in 2008, Obama’s campaign was at the forefront of the new technology, through his use of the Internet as a campaign tool in the presidential election, and was lauded and envied by politicians and pundits from both sides of the aisle for its digital strategy. The campaign used Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube before campaigns made the social networking sites an integral part of their campaign strategy.

The Obama Braintrust used text messaging to reach millions of supporters to organize rallies and to raise money (Including all those anonymous donations from overseas…but I digress.). The campaign even started its own social network, through its website, Organizing for America, that allowed people to join the idol worship and commune with other simple, err, like-minded Obama supporters.

The Republicans eventually jumped on the Social Network Bandwagon. All of the major major presidential candidates are very active on all the social networks.

Even old fossil Newt Gingrich has joined up on Google+, which was only released last week and is still not open to the general public.

According to the “so-called” Social Networking Experts, our boy Scooter barely scratched the surface of the Tweeting possibilities yesterday.

Make no mistake. This was a political event. Among the eight “curators” selected by the boss of Twitter (a huge Obama supporter) to help find questions to ask the president, one was from Iowa and one was from New Hampshire.

In other words, all of the questions were screened by Liberals.

When a tweet of House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio did not display correctly on the screen, Obama took a moment to poke fun at him, saying:

John obviously needs to work on his typing skills.

Of course, Scooter’s Henny Youngman impression, provoked spontaneous laughter from the live audience.

White House officials said that the point of yesterday’s event, was to give people in all corners of the country a chance to ask the president a question. The problem was with 169,395 tweets that included the #AskObama hashtag, you were more likely to have your questions answered by attending one of Obama’s staged pep rallies, err, town halls and raising your hand to ask a question..

The White House does not seem to understand why “Tweeting” is so popular. Their effort yesterday went against the basic principles of Twitter. It was uni-directional. Twitter is omni-directional, which is the point of the whole silly thing.

Scooter cheated. Not only did the President not type in his answers, they were much longer than the 140 characters Twitterers use to communicate.

While the president is making a big show out of using the new technologies, he’s not using them correctly.

He’s cheating, in order to get around the rules.

What is it about Liberals and cheating?

Have you heard about the cheating parties in Atlanta, GA Public Schools System?

Per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

Across Atlanta Public Schools, staff worked feverishly in secret to transform testing failures into successes.

Teachers and principals erased and corrected mistakes on students’ answer sheets.

Area superintendents silenced whistle-blowers and rewarded subordinates who met academic goals by any means possible.

Superintendent Beverly Hall and her top aides ignored, buried, destroyed or altered complaints about misconduct, claimed ignorance of wrongdoing and accused naysayers of failing to believe in poor children’s ability to learn.

For years — as long as a decade — this was how the Atlanta school district produced gains on state curriculum tests. The scores soared so dramatically they brought national acclaim to Hall and the district, according to an investigative report released Tuesday by Gov. Nathan Deal.

In the report, the governor’s special investigators describe an enterprise where unethical — and potentially illegal — behavior pierced every level of the bureaucracy, allowing district staff to reap praise and sometimes bonuses by misleading the children, parents and community they served.

The report accuses top district officials of wrongdoing that could lead to criminal charges in some cases.

The decision whether to prosecute lies with three district attorneys — in Fulton, DeKalb and Douglas counties — who will consider potential offenses in their jurisdictions.

Back in February of 2009, the American Association of School Administrators (AASA) named Atlanta Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Beverly L. Hall the 2009 National Superintendent of the Year, the top professional honor for a K-12 school administrator.

Also in 2009, Dr. Hall was  named Georgia Superintendent of the Year in December by the Georgia School Superintendents Association and one of the 100 most influential Georgians by Georgia Trend magazine.

AASA Executive Director Dan Domenech proclaimed, in announcing the award:

Beverly Hall is an outstanding superintendent whose leadership has turned Atlanta into a model of urban school reform. Throughout her long and successful tenure in Atlanta, Hall has accomplished significant gains in student achievement. She has demonstrated a commitment to setting high standards for students and school personnel, working collaboratively with the school board, and meeting the needs of the local community. AASA is proud to bestow this national honor on Hall.

Hall was the first Georgia superintendent to be named National Superintendent of the Year.

I wonder if they’ll rescind her awards due to this scandal?  I doubt it. 

Liberals avoid taking responsibility for their actions like Lindsey Lohan avoids sobriety.

What is it about Liberals and cheating?

They know that they can get by with it…at least in the short run.
