Obama's Random Act of Kindness - Urban Legends

On a lighter note: When I was in school(the dark ages), we were forced to listen to presidents talk about the state of the nation, etc. and I would spend the time writing notes to my buds, BORING! I think it is a good thing for the President to speak to the students about things that concern them= their education, etc. On the other hand, I do object to the "lesson plans" that accompany the speech. Why not let educators do their jobs and lead intellegent discussions with their students???? Simply rhetorical, please.

The content of his character. Uh-huh.

Obama's Random Act of Kindness - Urban Legends

I don't agree politically with Obama on everything, but see him as a man of good character.

Thank you TNT for the link.
?As tears streamed down her face, she heard a "gentle and friendly voice" behind her saying, "That's okay, I'll pay for her." Mary turned around to see a tall man whom she had never seen before.?

?She paid the 103 dollars back to Obama the day after she arrived in Norway. At that time he had just finished his job as a poorly paid community worker* in Chicago, and had started his law studies at prestigious Harvard university.?


?Mary says that when her friends and associates talk about the election, especially when race relations is the heated subject, she relates the story of the kind man who helped out a stranger-in-need over twenty years ago, years before he had even thought about running for high office.?

With the high drop out rate of African American and Latino students, I think it would quite empowering to all students, especially AA students, for our first AA President to challenge our schoolchildren to do their best.

Also, I would not have had a problem with GW addressing students in the same fashion as long as he used proper grammatically correct sentences unlike: "Verbosity leads to unclear, inarticulate things." and the "Future will be better tomorrow." (Quotes- GW Bush)

No one is going to respond to the story about Reagan talking to the schoolchildren, huh?

OK, I will: It was fine then, and it's fine now. Then, it was just "The Great Communicator" using every opportunity to spread his message. Now, it's even milder.

When the people feel that the President of the United States addressing schoolchildren is anything other than a bit of PR, then those in opposition need to think very, very hard about why they feel that way.

The backlash prompted the Education Department to revise one of its ideas for classroom activities that could accompany Obama?s speech. The agency suggested on its Web site earlier this week, that students in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade ?write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president.? Some critics interpreted that to mean Obama wanted school children to help him push his political agenda.
?The true meaning is really for students to write letters to themselves about how they can achieve their own goals,? Sandra Abrevaya, an Education Department spokeswoman, said yesterday in an interview. ?We just adjusted the language so it was clear.?

What I found amazing was the second I posted it the disciples were coming out of the cracks to label me spammer of the year etc. Quite honestly I think they are getting testy because they can't believe how fast their precious ship is sinking. There were so many times with President Bush that the right would get upset over such things as Dubai Ports, Amnesty, Border Security and so on, but I get the feeling these people will jump right off the cliff if President Obama told them to. Did the last 8 years of hatred for the President damage their ability to think for themselves, or is it just the nature of the secular progressives to be mesmerized by the pide piper?

AMEN to that!!!!

If this post is a preview of Republican 2010 campaign talking points, the dems have nothing to worry about. WTF?? Do you have any dignity whatsoever??? Can't you just be a sad, silent, sore racist loser???

It is a proven fact with many videos that we have all seen, yet you come back at me by calling me a racist. I guess that is your immature game that has spawned from your anger when the truth hurts. I point out that Obama attended a racist anti semitic church for 20 years, you turn around and call me a racist. So in your liberal mind if you don't like the truth you deflect back by changing the subject and accuse the messenger of the same rhetoric. Excuse me if I'm wrong, but isn't that how 4 year olds solve disputes. I think he's a poo face...no you're a poo face. Grow up, Sam...and wipe the cr@p off your face.

I don't care if Obama gives a speech a week to the kids regarding working hard and staying in school. What I do object to is the DOE materials that ask for essays on " How can I help the President" and such. Totally unnacceptable. My gosh, even Chris Mathews said this morning that this was too far and wrong. (Source Morning Joe)
