It’s really a sad state of affairs when the President of the United States cannot address school children, but that’s what it’s become. And both sides seem hell-bent on keeping it that way.
Faction is the death of republics.
This explains WHY WE DON'T WANT HIM TALKING TO OUR KIDS better than I can.
Bottom line, I don't trust Marxists bearing gifts.
Does anyone recall if Hillary (as former First Lady), like Laura Bush, gave a supporting statement for the President addressing students? Or was she neutral even?
People have forgotten what it was like to be a kid in school. Especially elementary school. Regardless of who is president, most kids will nap, doodle in their notebooks, send text messages, etc. during a speech (especially during one as long as Obama’s). The only thing that will bother the kids is whether they will have any classwork associated with the speech. In short, they will ask “Are we gonna have a quiz on this?”
I agree. Unfortunate that the president can't say a few words to kids without 1/2 the country wondering "What's his agenda?".
What's worse is that I felt the same way when this story first broke. And, with the changes in the speech and the "helpful lesson plan"....I feel vindicated in my fears.
Politics and children don't mix....ever. Even if I agree with the politician - I don't want them near my kids. Period. End of story.
also- the speech should’ve been video’d so people had a chance to view it first then make their decision- obama is a liar and as we know he has ulterior motives....
