Obama's jayvee comment: I was surprised that such a comment came from Obama, because he played varsity high school basketball in Hawaii, and he should have known better.
Why should Obama have known better?
As a varsity player, Obama should have known that the players on a jayvee team are getting ready to move up to the varsity once they grow in maturity and skills. In other words, they don't remain junior varsity forever.
They eventually move up to the varsity and often are more successful than the varsity players they replace.
And that is what happened in the Middle East: Ferocious ISIS members moved up from the junior varsity to the varsity, and they became more famous and deadlier than those who came before them.
The junior varsity ISIS has turned quickly into the varsity ISIS, and now God help us all.
