Principal Obama

[Rita]

well you can tell how not upset I am about it. Kids are very good about taking things in stride if the adults will leave them alone. My personal life right now is so stressful, I have stopped watching the evening news.

.
Nail on head here! But I think their may be too many adults who will not leave them alone. These kids won't be indoctrinated by Obama. They'll be indoctrinated by their own parents.

I will almost always stick up for the teachers unless it is just something blatant and then I try to be careful in how I express my criticism so as not to "add fuel to the fire" of whatever injustice my daughter may feel she has experienced. Parents can often make things worse.

The whole thing is freaking ridiculous!

If Obama was such a powerful speaker that he could indoctrinate our nation's schoolchildren with a 15 minute speech, don't you think that both his approval rating and number of public speaking engagements/addresses to the country would be much higher? .

Yes. Thank God Obama's such an awful speaker. Otherwise, the teleprompter would be running 24/7 and melting our polar ice caps.

it's uneducated, white fear. imagine kids staying home on a day the president is emphasizing the importance of school attendance and achievement.

I have just read Obama's comments. He actually tells kids to wash their hands! Who does he think he is? Wait, maybe there is some mind altering substance the union has spiked the soap with that turns the kids into commies...good lord, kids, KEEP THOSE HANDS DIRTY AND LETS START THE FREEDOM FINGER MOVEMENT TO SHOW THE SOCIALISTS WHERE THEY CAN GO!

Okay, now y'all are really starting to scare me. What's that saying about seeing the enemy and the enemy is us?????

Principal Obama needs to send a bunch of folks to detention, imo.

 

[GoodWitch58]

yeah, now I get it:

take equal parts of Inspiration and encouragement, mix it with high expectations and personal responsibility, and then top with a challenge to succeed, and one gets
Socialism!

(sarcasm off)

Now, I think there are plenty of Americans who owe the President and their children and teachers, an apology!

Finger puppets.

Anything about slow down in the playground and rationing of band-aids?

I, too, have just read the President's speech to the school children and without getting into all the hyperbole and sarcasm leveled by some on the left, it is a great speech to deliver to students. I only hope they listen with enthusiasm and take heed to it. Maybe the parents complaining will realize this is a speech the is truly non political in nature. I certainly hope so. All above having been said, I still disagree with 95% of his policies but he did NOT express one of them in his remarks. Good job, Mr President!

No surprise that the REAL content of the speech is exactly what I expected - a non-partisan speech by OUR president to inspire OUR nation's schoolchildren.

I hope the news ratings/pundits book sales/speaking fees were worth tearing our country apart further and making kids miss school. :angry:
