What an idiot!!! Just goes to show you what kind of “educated” people we have running our government. And Obama doesn’t know how many states we have either. He and his pal must have gone to the same school. As a teacher I find it appalling that “suppose to be educated people” can’t use correct grammar or get their geographical information correct.

Well, Obama will not be president anyhow considering he has not proven his constitutional eligibility.

So no worries.

It irritates me no end when I hear these dimwits forget the objective case. It’s almost as bad as “shtreet” and “shtrong”.

This should surprise no one. The Baby Boomers and all those following them are, for the most part, horribly and woefully uneducated, and totally unprepared to compete in a world economy We’ve become a nation of dummies as we continue our slide towards third worldom.

Me and my students aint finding nothing wrong with his grammer.

The man is lost in a grammarless cavern and me hopes when he misused “I” he didn’t neglect to capitalize it.

Face it folks, the two-year-olds have taken over the White House. Get the diapers out. An arrogant pack of dumbells and stooges rule the world.

I notice Obama’s oratory skills aren’t that great either….

This buffoon compounds the error by reading the mistake from a written text. Clearly, he is ignorant of basic English, doesn’t know either the objective case, or the nominative case, and can’t genuinely be counted on to do anything other than squander and misuse taxpayer dollars. But if he can’t edit the language, and can’t speak it, he’ll probably fit right in with the other clowns in Washington who are deftly maneuvering us into a depression. Ralph L. Seifer, Long Beach, California.

Dear DSquared, “suppose to be” or “supposed to be”? What do you teach exactly? Woodwork?

“I ARE SO GLAD” THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE FINALLY SEEING THE PROBLEMS WITH OUR COUNTRY, WHEN YOU ALLOW IDIOTS AND UNEDUCATED MORONS TO RUN THE COUNTRY..THIS IS WHAT YOU GET

At least he didn’t say “Does anyone have any questions they would like to ‘aks’ ?”

Breitbart, could you (ever so) kindly restrict your activities to reporting news?

Yes, he made a mistake – a common one, because it’s easier to make than many others.

At least he’s not the leader of the “free world” (but then neither is George W. Bush, is he?).

ME AND MY SISTA…Dear Lord, she be goin to axe a question…Maybe they should both go play in da skreet.

As the object of the verb “gave”, “my sister and I” should be “my sister and me”.

When “my sister and I” is used as the subject of the sentence, as in “My sister and I voted for an egotistical, corrupt, windbag of change and his Chicago cronies”, then usage of “my sister and I” is correct.

[...] — Arne Duncan was reading from a prepared text. Guess they teach inventive grammar at Haaaaahvahd. Snort. Posted in: Education And more: [...]

We don’t see (or read) Obama’s academic records for no reason. Guy’s obviously got a lot to hide, thus, he won’t release any of his records.

This is what you get when you get pretty dumb boys with a talent performing the roles of being “smart.” They’re still pretty but dumb boys doing pretty dumb things.

Did he say the word, “aks” yet?

You know, “I wanna’ aks you somethin’.”

…I’m sure it’ll pop-up sometime soon.

HE BEEN AROUND OBAMA SO LONG HE TALKS LIKE A BLACK

All Ye Who Have Ears, Listen to this…

Bad grammar from Washington will be the least of our problems come 1-20-09.

A little research finds the following:

1)Arne Duncan (born November 6, 1964)

2)Duncan was raised in Hyde Park, Chicago.

3)Duncan attended the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools. He then graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University with a degree in sociology in 1987. His senior thesis, for which he took a year’s leave to do research in Kenwood, in inner-city Chicago, was entitled The values, aspirations and opportunities of the urban underclass. Though unpublished, it was later cited by other authors.

4)Duncan has extensive experience in educational policy and management, but has not been a teacher.

5)He currently resides with his Australian wife, Karen, and his two children in Hyde Park.

6)Mayor Richard M. Daley, appointed Duncan to serve as CEO of Chicago Public Schools on June 26, 2001

So, William Ayers is a neighbor and Barry Hussein and all the rest of this clique’ all vote at the same polling place in Hyde Park.

Question: What make this guy qualified?
Answer: Nothing, this is Nepotism, the Chicago Way of Politics. And he graduated from Harvard.

Smell anything funny?

Caio’

since when did a chicago political appointee have to know anything about what he is going to get money for?

instead of flunking out kids, he and Emanuel will send their parents a dead fish wrapped in a newspaper.

Headlines: Soprano Family heads up Edumacation Funxion for Obambi WhiteHuse.

We can blame no one else but the teachers who refuse to put across to the students that speaking English correctly is the right way to go. I was taught by Catholic nuns and proper grammar was a very large part of my education. This is not so today. My own five children do not have all the rules down and are constantly asking Mom if this is the right way to use a certain word or phrase. How sad because grammatically correct speech tells so much about a person. I hope this error comes to the attention of our educational facilities.

Potatoe anyone?

Who in Obama’s camp would ever be able to correct him? These are supposedly educated people who think “conversate” is a verb, as in “to converse”.

He gave my sister the opportunity to start a great school in the South side of Chicago.”

He gave me the opportunity to start a great school in the South side of Chicago.”

The simple rule is that each word used (me and sister) should be able to stand alone in a sentence, especially following a verb.

What a Bozo? And his leader, with his 57 states.

What a waste of my time. This is not news. Oh my Lord he said I instead of me!

Obama will “change” the rules of grammer so he and his cabinet will always be right.
I’m still waiting for Obama to “aks” a question to our enemies so they can “conversate”.

I SEE WHY ALL THE LITTLE KIDS IN CHICAGO COMES HOME SAYS MAMA I IS GONNA DRINK MY MIRK NOW ARE THATS OK WITH JUE

Ebonics can’t be far behind…

Jandj: It’s “witchu.” This is a component of the Janet Jackson tour name.

At least the guy didn’t punctuate his statement with an endless string of “you know what I’m sayin?”

OVER HERE WHERE I COME FORM THE QUARTERS THEY SPELL IT JUE LOL

When’s Obama’s BURF DAY?

Harvard educated and Chicago employed. Somehow I get the feeling they are all from the same Obama syndicate. Nothing like nepotism and cronyism. Lets keep that ball rolling-Clinton,Bush, and Obama so much for hopey changey,smells like samey sheisty to America.

I’m a conservative, high-positioned character with a doctorate who occasionally makes the same mistake when I ramble on without thinking. My mother has always been quick to point out the error by saying “He gave it to I???” So, cut Duncan some slack. There will be enough reason to criticize him in the future about matters of substance. His error here was forgiveable, and I bet he won’t make it again!

Remember the David Letterman bit where they play some inspiring clip from FDR (insipring), then from Kennedy (inspiring), then W (screws up a sentence)?

Gee, do you think Letterman is ever going to do one in which the Messiah is at a large hall last summer, and the transcript reads (almost literally): “Now…now…now…hold on…hold on…but…but…but…but…hold on…now hold on…wait…wait…but…but…

It is a very funny clip. Even the Messiah can easily screw up. My opinion of Letterman will rise from a “0″ when he plays that clip. Not holding my breath.

After his term as Secretary of Education, Bill Bennett produced two fine anthologies: “The Book of Virtues,” and “The Book of Moral Compass.”

That was in 1995. Now they graduate from Harvard, move to Chicago as the head of education and they can’t even, uh, construct a sentence.

Everything the left touches turns to *&^%!

And at Camp Obama, *&^% floats.

Minnesota,

Yes, we all butcher the English language, in word and in print, but when you are NOT speaking extemperanously, and are reading from a prepared text, then it is a different story. I taught my kids to drop the “My sister and” part, and if it made no sense to say I then use me. I left it for their teachers to explain the cases, but this was when they were very young. As for this not being news, yes, it is, in a way. Some of you may be unaware, but as someone posted above, a certain Dan Quayle was excoriated, and had his entire career mocked, by spelling “potato” with an “e” at the end. He wasn’t the SoE-elect, so I guess we expect higher standards from someone who is presumed to be. Have you all already forgotten the bashing S. Palin took for her run-on sentences when she was just free speaking? Obama is also not the great speaker we hear he is. He is charismatic when he speaks, but he is not a great speaker. He often uses the wrong tenses, stutters terribly, and runs his sentense together. I think he is an interesting speaker, just not a great one.

Anyone notice the mounting number of nutty people with degrees from Harvard? Is there some sort of brain infection included with graduation from Harvard or does it take place with enrollment?

I’m thinking I’d rather hear the guy over the P.A. in the New York Subway than this “Obama Administration” mashup.

Just another Chicago Under thinking Thug ,
THE education system in Chicago Is the worst run system in the united states .

NEWS FLASH…Instead of English being the “official langauge” of the United States, Citizens, we in the Obama Administration and the Department of Education are please to announce the following:

EBONICS will be the “official language” and be used at all public meetings, memos, press conferences and foreign policy discussions as of 1/20/2009.

Description:

A term created by a group of white scholars, Ebonics may be defined as “the linguistic and paralinguistic features which on a concentric continuum represent the communicative competence of the West African, Caribbean, and United States slave descendant of African origin. It includes the various idioms, patois, argots, idiolects, and social dialects of black people” especially those who have adapted to colonial circumstances. Ebonics derives its form from ebony (black) and phonics (sound, the study of sound) and refers to the study of the language of black people in all its cultural uniqueness.

And as the Secretary of Education, and Harvard Educated I KNOW MORE THAN YOU DO so accept it you Useful Idiots.

Caio’

Yes, it is such a tragedy that the well-spoken President Bush, and his highly tuned use of the English language is finally at an end. oh well, so what?

This creep follows Ayers’ ideas on Communist education for indoctrinating children..He supports giving sex ed to 6 year olds where Gay sex is (fun!).He supports taking Christmas away from Catholic and Christian kids.He supports taking kids to Muslim centers so they can be brain washed by Christian and Jew hating Islamic Imams.
He is owned by the Far Left Teacher’s Unions.He is against all the reforms made by the bush administration..(No Child Left behind and Teachers taking exams etc…)
He supports revisionist Liberal history books…he is another unqualified liberal Obama bum kisser…Just as Obama is not unqualified to be anything…let alone President.
God help us.Save us from all these former Clintonites and Godless Liberals in B.Hussein Obama’s administration before they take us all to hell with them.

Only one or two of you even know why the grammar was incorrect. lol So many retarded republicans in this thread, I’m surprised you all knew how to turn on your computers let alone find this story.

Republican = Retard

Plain and simple.

I love it. After eight years of having Bush destroy our country and our language, the Republicans have finally found their red pens.

Kathleen: Pres. Bush wasn’t appointed Secretary of Education……ever. So there is a big difference.

Republican=Retard??? But we’re talking about a Democrat who is up for Secretary of Education and he doesn’t even know the correct usage of “me” or “I” in a simple sentence. He was READING this simple sentence from a script that should have been proofread and no one caught the mistake. Oh well…God has given us the king we asked for, now let the punishment fit the crime.

He be fixin to edumacate us.

Ah, yes, getting exactly the government you deserve!

It’s never what you know, but WHOM you know!

Is this seriously an issue with some people? The guy is going to be a glorified bean pusher in this position, not an English Teacher. When he claims 2+2=5 you can wake me up.

Sigh, it’s not an issue at all. It’s just fun to finally have an administration that reps can poke fun at for a change. :-)

jersey cow . I am afraid we will never know the true answer to your quishton.

Yes, it IS an issue. The Secretary of Education ought to know how to speak proper English.

He should have said, “GAVE MY SISTER AND ME”… “Gave” is the verb; “my sister and me” = direct object. Use “me” for the objective case, not “I.”

This is BASIC ENGLISH.

It is because of LOUSY TEACHING that nobody under 35 or 40 even knows how to speak English or write or spell any more in the United States! We do not need more semi-literates standing up as ROLE MODELS. We need people who know how to use proper ENGLISH who will act as good role models for those who are being educated in America. The more we hear improper English usage, the more engrained it becomes in our consciousness.

Almost everyone on TV nowadays will say “so and so and I” even when it is incorrect, because they apparently are under the misconception that it is somehow impolite to use the word “me” ! Shows what lousy education they have gotten–and many who routinely do this are news anchors and telecasters.

HPO-

You really have no room to speak, especially if you’ve voted for our current illiterate president twice.

Tim
Breitbart, could you (ever so) kindly restrict your activities to reporting news?
Yes, he made a mistake – a common one, because it’s easier to make than many others.
At least he’s not the leader of the “free world” (but then neither is George W. Bush, is he?).

And Tim what you you be posting if this were Gov. Palin speaking 2 months ago?

BY MICHAEL SNEED Sun-Times Columnist

Sneed hears rumbles President-elect Barack Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, is reportedly on 21 different taped conversations by the feds — dealing with his boss’ vacant Senate seat!

WHOOPS!!!!!

It was technically wrong but the information content was clear. Next issue, everyone.

someone needs to explains to me what is the error.
It sounded fine to the people in the hood and I.

In 2007, only 17 percent of eighth graders tested at or above grade level in reading in Chicago Public Schools – the school system administered by Arne Duncan since 2001.

According to the U.S. Department of Education’s National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) report for 2007, Chicago public schools have consistently performed below the national average during Duncan’s tenure.

The report measures students at the fourth and eighth grade levels in the subjects of reading, math, science, and writing, and ranks them at below basic, basic, proficient, or advanced levels.

Nationally, Chicago is the third largest school district with over 408,000 students. Its budget for 2007-2008 was $4.6 billion, according to information released by Chicago Public Schools. $862 million of that was supplied by the federal government.

Under Duncan, Chicago Public Schools spent $10,555 per pupil, with $9,488 going toward education-related expenses in 2007.

So it seems that the big problem with public education isn’t that we are not throwing enough money at it.

Is this seriously an issue with some of us? You bet your sweet bippy it is. If any other potential cabinet member spoke those words, we might be able to shrug it off, but this man will be leading our nation’s educational system. Shouldn’t that person, at a minimum, speak the English language correctly?

It’s a common mistake, no one is perfect. Are all you people posting so perfect in every regard? Don’t you have anything better to do?? Really!!

Someone said, “this man will be leading our nation’s educational system. Shouldn’t that person, at a minimum, speak the English language correctly?”

EXACTLY RIGHT! There is NO excuse for such sloppy speech and writing–unless, of course, HE DIDN’T KNOW ANY BETTER (WHICH IS NO EXCUSE AT ALL FOR A “SECRETARY OF EDUCATION”!)…

MR. O., YOU GOT ANOTHER QUESTION… ERR,… NOMINEE??

Racism = Ignorance
You know who you are. Shame on you!!!! Me can’t wait for your educated responses.
