Matthew Haag and I have a story today about President Obama's plan next week to make a speech aimed at students. As it stands, Plano does not plan to air the speech live. But the school district will make the speech available on its website. The story has spread like wildfire this morning. As such, we wanted to put the question to you in a Plano Mini Poll. View the totals instantly after voting.

Ping for Freeping
Done. BTTT.
Freeped.
More No’s than Yes’s but it is not getting a lot of traction (yet) Only 238 votes
No, Just turn the teleprompter around so we can read along, too........
My prediction is that they will make this first one be very tame, so they can laugh at people who opposed it. Then, they can start doing this on a regular basis, and when ppl aren’t paying attention they will turn it into full-scale brainwashing.
Going by the headline: NO & HELL NO
Yeah, air it live so we can make fun of it while it’s happening.
The No’s have it so far.....
His speech to students is wrong, dangerous, and infuriating. While I voted “no” in the poll, Obama’s speeches are so long, disjointed, and boring, even to adults, I think the students will be so bored and distracted that his speech will be without affect, or may even inoculate them against his “charm.”
Just voted. 118 for and 187 against the speech.
Agree totally. Especially the after-speech activities by the unionized teachers.
Absolutely.
In Hell.
FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

Yes. If he is going to try to indoctrinate children parents have the right to know what he is saying to them.
These kids will become loyal Obama voters in his fourth or fifth reelections.
I had to vote “No” because “Hell NO” wasn’t available.
Just voted — 326 against airing the speech!
One more thought . . .call your local school superintendent and express your views. Let them know you are paying attention, and that you vote on their school budgets, bonds, etc . . .
Could only find “NO” nothing stronger
Forget about live and taped - It’s a “NO speech EVER” to our school children. Cut it off now - NO COMPROMISE.
San Antonio and Leander will NOT show it to students during school hours. It will be on those district’s websites for home viewing if wanted.
Smart Choice and a perfect way to say FUBO & CO.
Why broadcast it? Nobody will watch it. Get your review by Rush next day ...
"NOTE on POLL RESULTS: We have decided to disable our Plano Mini Poll.
We've been made aware that it had been posted on at least one popular conservative chat room, skewing the results. 'Yes' votes were leading by a fair margin earlier in the day.
Thanks to all who participated.
Poll is closed
They pulled the poll - after noting on top of the thread that the results were polluted by Freepers.
Bwhahahaha!!
“You can’t handle the truth!!”
It was stated on the blog that the poll was disabled because it had come to their attention that a “conservative political forum” had been notified of the poll and was trying to “skew” the results.
This makes ZERO sense because Plano is a very conservative city anyway so it’s not unusual for people to vote no on something like this. Nobody I have spoken to is in favor of this speech being aired in the Plano schools.
Sweet!
In the afternoon, the poll was posted on at least one popular conservative chat room, vastly skewing the results. We should note that 'yes' votes were leading by a fair margin earlier in the day.
Thanks to all who participated."
Yep! "Fair margin" = The initial voting by the newspaper weenies!
My prediction is that they will make this first one be very tame, so they can laugh at people who opposed it. Then, they can start doing this on a regular basis, and when ppl aren’t paying attention they will turn it into full-scale brainwashing.
Agree totally. Especially the after-speech activities by the unionized teachers.
THAT’S BEEN MY EXPECTATION FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT.
THEY ARE SLICK MASS MANIPULATORS WHO’VE BEEN AT IT FOR AT LEAST 60 YEARS.
True, true, true. They are serious. I hope we are becoming just as serious. I have trouble even with my own family understanding the urgency of the threat.
To whom was the poll originally released? Maybe they tried to stuff their own ballot box but got FReeped! BWA-HAHAHAHAAHA!
INDEED! INDEED!
Most all of us know that experience first hand. Thankfully, some of us have more relatives on the sane awake side to some degree, than not. But there’s still, at best, even,
A FRIGHTFUL AMOUNT OF CLUELESSNESS RAMPANT in the general population and
EVEN ON FR!
People be People. Oh, well.... ;0)
It should be looped and played over and over to Gitmo detainees.
YUP

LOL!!!!!!
Missed it darnit.
Funny though. The TV channel may have to cut in on an Obama program to air this Obama program.
Thanks MrsLilac!
Good job all!

SCM says lalalalalalala

Bwhahahaha!!
“You can’t handle the truth!!”
I posted from my ping list and didn't see your #33 when I posted my #47
Great minds and all that.
