Once again (no big surprise here) YOU ARE WRONG.
No, You are wrong, dear. You may have read the quote, but apparently you didn't comprehend it. It DOES say it was MIDDLE SCHOOL, which would be 11, 12 & 13 year olds. (Doesn't matter what your kids do. Its not about your kids.) It was about Obama shoving a poor, little girl named, Coretta.

You make other conservatives look like nutjobs when you guys go off on tangents like this--it's embarrassing and it ticks me off. The sooner you're out of the party, the better. You need to go.
Too bad its not your party and I say he gets to stay.

Actually--I stand corrected and I apologize. It does say middle school in the article (not the quote from the book), which is 6-8 grade. Recess isn't held past 6th grade (elementary at our school) so that would make the kids around 11. You still can't compare a light shove by a 10 or 11 year old to a group of seniors in high school holding a kid down to cut off his hair--no reasonable person would try to make that claim.

We had a high school football player growing up that would run us down[we were Jr. high] and then torture us basically it was his idea of fun.

Young Obama Bullied….A Girl | The Talk of the Times

My! My! And he never even issued the poor little girl an apology???

Must be a mysogynist.

Or maybe he was identifying with the white half of him at the moment, making it a racist attack? In any event, definitely some kind of "hate crime" from a playground Bully unfit to be POTUS.
The libbies won't like this!
