Need to find a copy of that speech ... Did Bush promote political agendas or did he actually urge studying harder, avoid drugs, etc.?? If Bush did the latter without injecting his political agenda, then I guess Gephart was wrong and Gephart was "playing politics".

If Obama's speech is as it is promoted to be - a challenge to students to work hard, set educational goals, take responsibility for their learning and strive to receive the best education possible so they can compete in the global economy - then those throwing a conniption fit will be wrong and will be shown to be playing politics or are that segment of the population that has such disdain for Obama that they would oppose anything he did. (he's the anti-christ to some - right? :roll:)

I think it is a good move to lighten up on the "lesson plans" and let the teachers handle that, as they know their students best.

It blows my mind that there is such a stir by some over something that seems so positive to me. I guess it is just that I trust Obama to have our kid's and nation's best interests at heart and some others do not...:(

You've smoked :cool: a little too much of that "hope and change" if you're trusting politicians.
 
Yes, I can see how it would scarring to a child's soul to hear from a man who came from a broken home and through hard work and applying himself was able to attend the best law school in the country and end up as President of the United States.

I am sure none of the children see any parallels between Obama's life and their own. I certainly wouldn't want my child to think that just anyone can be the President.

We cannot subject them to this up-by-the-bootstraps story, because as we all know, he was snatched from the cradle (in Kenya) by Krushchev and planted in the US as the ultimate Manchurian Candidate. All of his successes, from elementary school on, are due to manipulation from the Communist Party within the United States, because they were sure than a skinny biracial kid with no contacts with any existing political structure was an absolute lock to be President someday.

When the USSR fell, the Russian Mafia sold the contract to the Chinese, who were able to manipulate the election because the US owed them billions of dollars, and the Republicans agreed to shoot themselves in the foot and generally run around in circles.

Bwahahahaha.

I am sorry but the leaders of our childrens are not politicians. The leaders should be the parents first and then the teachers second. Do you really want our kids to follow the lead of our politicians?

WHAT WHAT WHAT???? HECK YES - if the leader is asking them to work hard! We have a SERIOUS problem in this country with MANY of our children. It isn't like Obama is giving them a lesson in evolution, or secularization, or asking them to bow to him!! But read the following:

"Three million high school seniors are graduating this year, but even as they march off the stage, diplomas in hand, educators are worried about the students not in this picture: the drop-outs.One of the main reasons teenagers give for quitting school: Their classes aren't interesting.

EVOYAL PROCTOR, Former Student: I was bored, one. And I had a lot of things going on in my life at the time, and people telling me that I wasn't going to make it and all of that, it just got to me. So I just stopped going."

You really think this young person was getting support and motivation from her parents? I don't think so.

WHAT is wrong with someone reminding kids to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and work hard, etc...?

I guess what you and others are saying is this:

"If Anyone's Gonna Fill Their Heads With Deceptive Partisan Crap It's Gonna Be Us!" :roll:

Think about this:
There used to be a time when a presidential address to children would've meantdevil-incarnate out to poison their children's minds.

'Indoctrination?' Really? Does anyone really think Obama is going to very publicly abuse his power by making some sort of blatant amoral partisan appeal to our children while the whole world, including his rabid critics, watches? Do you think he thinks he'd get away with something that obvious? Jeez, people, how about we just take Obama's intentions at face value? That he's a president who cares about children, what they think, and who wants to engage them in the national discourse.


What a terrible concept: a U.S. president talking with school kids about the importance of education, of expanding their intellectual horizons, of setting goals, and of getting involved in civics. Wow. Truly despicable lessons to impart on children, huh? Why expose our kids to such irresponsible 'indoctrination' when we can just keep 'em home that day and fill their heads with the really objective stuff like abortion is murder; gays are evil; guns are good; Obama and Democrats are destroying life as we know it; and that God is a Republican."

If Obama made a speech tomorrow asking Americans to STOP LITTERING, STOP LEAVING CRAP ON THE BEACH and gave reasons why would you object?

I wouldn't - in fact, I think I will write and ask him to ask our country to stop throwing their litter out of their car windows and their gum onto the sidewalks.

Maybe we will start a once a week BE YOUR BEST SELF AMERICA speech campaign!

What? "Yes Wright is racist. " is what you said, now you "clearly state" that you disagreed. Which one is it?
Click to expand...

What is disturbing is he admits Wright is a racist and knows Obama called the man his spiritual advisor for 20 years. He sat with his wife and children for 20 years watching this man spew his hatred for Jews and the white man. Only because it would advance his career did he denounce and distance himself from Wright. That there is some high quality parenting and an ideal representative for leader of the free world. Libs don't care though because the bumper sticker looks cool on the back of the prius, and those older than dirt hope and change lyrics are their favorite part of the siren's song.
 
The question was,"Do you really want our children to follow the lead of our politicians? Your answer was, "Heck yes".

Enough said.

I think politicians need to get out of the way. What we have in office now is moving our country in the wrong direction. Boy, I cannot wait until 2010 then 2012. This President and croonies gives me ajada.
