So the Obama team seems to be struggling in the first quarter and Mary Becker is offering her sophomoric advice in her “Message from Main Street” column on July 24. It”s always entertaining when someone with little or no knowledge of the game, having 20/20 hindsight of the events, offers advice to those who have been playing a professional game for many years. It all seems so simple.
Hey Barack, show some urgency, if you would have thrown the ball to Tony Hayward sooner it wouldn”t have gone into the stratosphere just like what happens when you have no new ideas on how to bring more players into the game. You need to show more certainty.
Your 2,000 page playbook on staying healthy is indecipherable to me so it must be bad. Here”s a hint, concentrate on small ball. And, oh my goodness, beware of blacks in the backfield who look like military men and watch the radical fringe flank that may throw acorns. Geez, they must not have taught you this at Harvard.
Now let”s talk about positive and negative yardage. You run up the field and then down the field, now here”s my special secret, don”t lose any yards. See how simple this is? Now don”t get a big head when this works. Remember it was my idea.
Now just don”t think you”re special at this game just because you”re the QB. Many linemen and many other bench sitters think they are just as good as you at this game, so don”t get cocky. Oh, by the way, just what were your grades at Harvard anyway? Just because you”re the QB doesn”t mean you know squat about the game. We need to know what your GPA. was in QB 101. Always remember you might get better even if you”re appalling.
