You have it backward, Chris!

 

I don't know what expertise or experience Chris Rock has to be appearing on Capitol Hill on the subject of gun control, but evidently somebody thinks he should be up there. At any rate, here's what he said:

 

"President of the United States is our boss, but he is also . . . you know, the president and the first lady are kinda like the mom and the dad of the country. And when your dad says something you listen. . ."

 

No, Chris, the President is NOT our boss. We are his bosses. No, Chris, the President is NOT our dad. He doesn't have to be concerned with our day to day lives -- in fact, he should be butting out of our day to day lives. No, Chris, the first lady is NOT our mom. She doesn't have to tell us what we can eat and what we can't. And, Chris, what does it matter whether or not we listen to him? He's only going to tell us that all the good things are because of him and all the bad things are because of George Bush. I have more sense than to believe that.
