Chris Healy, chairman of the Connecticut Republican Party, called Obama's speech "perfectly appropriate" and predicted that children would be excited to hear it.
"I think people have got to relax," Healy said. "There is plenty to criticize the president on when he's speaking to adults. But he is a role model and a historic figure, no matter what you think of his policies. He's a smart person and he's a product of education himself."
With GOP Chairmen like this, who need Democrats?
Let Chris Healy let you know how you feel about his comments:
email: political@ctgop.org
Phone: (860) 826-7378
Fax: (860) 826-2742
Perfectly appropriate for the President to ask every school child in the USA to "Write a letter how you can help the President".
Mr Healy needs to be thrown OUT of the GOP on his ear
Chris Healy probably voted for Obama.
Honestly, do you think he cares what we think?
How would Healy know, since no one has seen OdumbO's school records?
What an a*s! Another RINO that needs to get dumped. Are there any GOP conservatives in the GOP in CT?
Another utterance from the Leader of the CT Stupid Party.
I should have known that the RINOs would begin the backbiting as soon as conservatives begin gaining ground.
‘Are there any GOP conservatives in the GOP in CT?’
Nope. I live in CT. There isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that a conservative gets elected in this state. A RINO is the best we’ll ever see...
It ain’t the speech, it’s the HOMEWORK!
It ain’t the speech, it’s the HOMEWORK!
People are confused about what we have a problem with. Its not so much the message, its the MESSENGER. We don’t like his pinko commie obamacare losing ways nor his commie truther friends. Obamanation can do nothing to change that except for repenting and doing a 180 on his leftist pinko commie chavez loving ways. Bottom line.
That said if you still love the messenger, well the message they have already admitted the first provided lesson plans were of suspect intent and inappropriate. So libs can’t have it both ways.
I don’t know about that, but boycotting his speech by keeping your kids at home is Perfectly Appropriate too.
The American people are in the lead. The GOP is trailing far behind.
You can always count on a RINO to cover for the commies.
And they wonder why they’re a modern day Moose Party in New England.
I'm not so sure that most people necessarily have a problem with the Prez telling kids to work hard & stay in school.(At least I don't - meh.)
What the leader of the CT GOP conveniently neglects to point out here, however, is that the WH tipped their hand about what this speech was all about with that creepy study plan for teachers instructing them to ask their students to promise to serve this particular President, Kim Jong-il-style.
It was the very parental outrage Mr. Healy dismisses in response to that very important little detail Mr. Healy chooses to obscure in his comments which made the White House itself back down from their Pyongyang-style initiative here.
If parents had been 'relaxed' as Mr. Healy implores them to be, the WH wouldn't have had to back down & CT schoolchildren would have been force-fed the O-team's banana republic-flavored kool-aid.
Northeastern lamebrain.
Yet another example of the progressive tentacles dug into the GOP...
Yeah right. Really appropriate. NOT /sarc
I wonder why there are no elected Republican office holders in Connecticut?
Not directed at you, montag813, but at that numbnut Chris Healy.
Many. Matthew Daley for one. He's running against Joe Courtney in the second district.

Thus proving that Chris Healy is an idjit and that the GOP State Central Committee members who elected him are idjits. Any wonder why Connecticut is doing soooooo well?
You familiar with this putzhead, Pete ? Between him and Rell, it’s no wonder the CT GOP is swiftly headed towards doing its best impression of the deceased MA GOP.
RINOs, all.
Glad to hear it. Hopefullt CT will wake up along with the rest of America. Joe Liberman “ain’t” the answer either and obviously Dodd is not.
Healy is generally one of the good guys up here. Anyone familiar with him would understand that.
beyond that, I’m too busy working to comment on it.
There is just too much good news for Conservatives in Connecticut ... it is hard to believe the developments, really.
With RINO’s Simmons, Shays, and Nancy Johnson out of the way, the doors have opened for a new crowd of conservatives to emerge.
Matt Daly for Congress, district #2
Debicella for Congress, district #4
Bernier for Congress, district #5
Caligiuri and Schiff running for Senate.
Word is that Rell is retiring.
It is stunning how the RINO’s really aren’t a problem right now.
Just close to primaries to ensure the conservatives win.
If Healy is a good guy, I’d hate to see what a bad guy is in the CT GOP...
How are RINOs not a problem in CT ? You still have Rell, and Simmons is still the leader for the Senate nomination. Puzzling comment.
Rell ain’t running and Simmons will only win if the conservatives flop. IF OUR CANDIDATES REFUSE TO RAISE MONEY AND REFUSE TO ORGANIZE A CAMPAIGN, IS IT SIMMONS FAULT?
In recent years, the rule seemed to be “conservatives are not allowed to even run.” The RINO’s were an obstacle. SO we had NO candidates at all! (Without Healy, we probably would not have Daly and Bernier and Debicella as candidates.)
RELL is not even a RINO. She is a center-left placator. She never identifies herself as being a Republican. She is a non-partisan independent. The GOP does not want her. The RINO’s don’t want her.
If Rell’s not running, it’s news to me. She’s listed as a candidate for next year, with no Republican challengers. If she wins again, she’ll become the longest serving Governor in state history since the Federalist Jonathan Trumbull, Jr. (1797-1809).
Rell not running ... you can say you heard it on freerepublic first. Pro-family folks are supporting Amann (D) and Fedele (R - Lt. Gov.) or state Rep. Cafero (R).
RINO’s will unite behind McKinney, state Senator who opted out of race against Himes (D CT-4) because of the expected Rell drop out.
I DID NOT GET THE MEMO THAT CONSERVATIVES ARE SUPPOSED TO TAKE OVER CONNECTICUT POLITICS. How is that going to happen since conservatives rarely participate in Conn. politics?
My note to CTGOP:
Every election cycle I give thousands of dollars to republicans/conservatives running for office and yet I give nothing to the state party. This is exactly the reason why.
Had no concerns been raised by conservatives President Obama and his socialist crew would have had school children writing essays on “how they can help their President”. This is not only anti-American, a sort of swearing allegiance to the POTUS, but it is weird as well. The POTUS should not be having personal relationships with millions of school children.
If he wants to go to a school and talk to some students, fine. If he wants to establish interpersonal relationships and asks for allegiance from the students that’s downright strange and yet you guys don’t even recognize it.
Once again in the next election cycle I will send donations totalling in the thousands to conservatives and the state Republican Party will get nothing.
I realize this won’t break your heart but I just wanted you to know anyway.
Regards,
We shall see. And Conservatives should be in control of every state GOP in America. The states where liberals are in control of the GOP are those with the weakest standings. It’s why the MA GOP is dead and why so many others are headed that way. Once we get control of all the state Republican parties, we should similarly take back the Democrat parties as well. There should be vigorous competition between Conservative ideas, not liberal RINO vs. Stalinist Democrats.
The voters knowingly voted in a state House of 114 DEMS and 37 REP. It was premeditated. Now they are being punished. They will have to fix their own mess.
Who exactly is going to come in here and organize a conservative takeover? “Unless the house is built by the Lord, in vain does the worker labor.”
For which was 91D-60R (and 19R-17D in the State Senate) as recently as 1996 (and even still 94D-57R going into the ‘04 elections). Republicans have held the Governorship that entire time, what will be almost 16 straight years, and shoulder the blame for gains or losses (and they’ve been virtually nothing but losses, except for ‘02). Grassroots is fine, but leadership comes from the top. In the state parties where the liberals hold control, Conservatives often don’t bother participating because they’re forced out, so many even stay out of organized party politics. That’s why I always said that despite how bad off MA is with their dead GOP, you’ve still got over a million or more people that could be organized and mobilized on behalf of Conservatism, it’s just a matter of getting things rolling.
Rell has never been interested in the Republican party ... so there is no reason to believe she is dismayed over the situation. She is not a Republican.
The process is open. If the conservatives want to get involved in the party and put people on the state central committee, nobody is stopping them.
The memo from the superintendent of schools in my small CT town echoes his sentiments... each teacher in all the schools will decide how to handle the speech on Sept. 8... WHAT!
Rell is listed as a candidate? where is this list? I’d like to see it ....
Thank God school doesn’t start until Wednesday here so my daughter doesn’t have to be subject to this propganda exercise. It’s becoming 1932 Germany all over again. Next it will be Obama Youth groups.
Simmons is still the unfortunate front runner for the Senate nomination isn’t he?
Rell appears to be even worse than Arnold SwawrteKennedy which is saying a lot. And she makes Crist look like Carrol Campbell.
I hope she loses to the regular democrat.
I’m sure she’d sign the rats redistricting plan anyway.
“With RINO’s Simmons, Shays, and Nancy Johnson out of the way, the doors have opened for a new crowd of conservatives to emerge.
Matt Daly for Congress, district #2
Debicella for Congress, district #4
Bernier for Congress, district #5
Caligiuri and Schiff running for Senate.”
If Rell retires, who will run for governor for the GOP?
