President Obama is using the occasion of a prime time speech on the budget impasse to reach across the aisle and slap the Republicans up the side of the head:
And, you know, Malia and Sasha generally finish their homework a day ahead of time. Malia is 13, Sasha is 10 … They don't wait until the night before. They're not pulling all-nighters. (Laughter.) They're 13 and 10. Congress can do the same thing. If you know you've got to do something, just do it.
Setting aside for the moment the fact that the President got his daughter's age wrong, let's look at this. Both of his girls are still in grammar school - albeit, a very exclusive grammar school. No public schools for these girls, thank you! However, the President's statement would only apply to a term paper or an essay that was assigned in advance. The rest of the homework is assigned one day and due the next. Or, did I miss something there.
Also, mark down Wednesday's date so you can remember when it was that Obama first brought his daughters into the national campaign. Someone will say something about them at some point in the next 17 months and Obama will quake with righteous indignation demanding his family be left alone.
There's that old double standard again!
