Tomorrow Obama will urge kids to stay in school!
On Thursday the President will remind Americans that peace is good and that fighting is bad.
Friday will be marked by Presidential confirmation of the deliciousness of apple pie, preferably still warm from the oven with a dollop of cream*.
The President also has said that The Wire is his favourite television program.
OK, some of this is made up. But the ABC has breathlessly reported that Obama will say that staying in school is good and it is advertising the multi-award winning and critically acclaimed television series, The Wire, with a Presidential endorsement.
What is he, Critic in Chief? Platitudinor in Chief?
Just as nobody should take Kevin Rudd seriously as an art critic, nobody should give a fig what Obama thinks is good television. And a motherhood statement from a President or Prime Minster doesn’t elevate it beyond the bleedin’ obvious.
Good grief.
*Not to be taken as a Presidential recommendation to eat pie, which may contain butter and traces of nuts, or cream. Butter and cream have been linked to heart disease, obesity and planetary warming.
