Well, won’t that make choosing easier?

You’d think for someone as indecisive as Obama, it’d be a good thing!

I just had a brilliant idea. Everyone from FR should apply for this. Make up a fake school, with a fake address in a vacant lot or something, and write the most impressive essay you have ever written. Wouldn’t it be awesome to have the president show up at a vacant lot to speak?

This cannot be correct. Everyone loves to hear Barry’s speeches where he uses the words “me” and “I” about a billion times while droning on and on and on.......

Officials were unable to explain the reason for the apparent lack of interest, beyond pointing to possible procrastination by school systems.

Education Secretary Arne Duncan told CBS Radio News, "It's a huge opportunity for high schools to tell their story." Asked about the lagging application numbers, Duncan said, "Folks are working hard." He called on schools to "put their best foot forward and join the competition."

Liberals are always dumber than dirt and are genetically stupid & incapable of understanding why others don't fall all over themselves, gushing to be chosen by the usurper-in-crap 0b0z0 the commie pig.

Hey you liberal dumb-ass turds! Even the young people are tired of 24/7 coverage of the worst pres___ent in history. Nobody wants to be associated with this narcissistic commie pig! Get used to it!

The problem is that the essays must be submitted in either Ebonics, Swahili or Arabic.

The unlucky school who gets the POTUS to visit should just request the script so they can hand it out and avoid Obama having to read it off the TOTUS.

I wouldn’t even want him in the same state for any important event in my life. It’s bad enough that he inhabits the same planet.

A acquaintance's child was among the graduates at KZoo's Obamafest. I recall they were pleased with the event organization but I'm sure they voted for Obama too.

In principle it'd be an honor to have any president as a graduation speaker. I certainly never had anyone so notable keynote my commencements.

I think the huge drop in numbers is because the novelty of the "first halfrica-American president" in general and of Obama himself, in particular, has dissipated.

He's can invoke the name as often as he wants but he's no Ronald Reagan. Pres. Reagan had earned people's admiration while Obama is little more than a carnival curiosity. He's grossly underperforming.

If he wins a second term, I see Obama growing into an angry, frustrated man like some hollywood "overnight sensation" who believed their own "greatness" and can't understand where their fans went once the next big thing has come along. W was never that way. Even the adulation addicted Clinton never really believed his own hype. I suspect Obama just might.

He continues to degrade the office of the President.

Well, first you have to have schools that (a) want Obama and (b) have some graduates for him to speak to.
