actually after reading it again, I don’t see what the big deal is.
The big deal is that the president doesn’t need to go into schools and preach to our children. It is not his job. The parents can do that for themselves. This IS America.
I guess since I don’t like Obama, I don’t like him having an audience of most of the school age population of the US. Particularly when education is compulsory.
I do think it is appropriate for the President of the U.S. to speak to public school children. It seems to me there should be an occasion, though, like the first moon landing or something. Not just an opportunity for indoctrination.
