Exactly. Most Americans have, I guess I can say, a sort of sixth sense when it comes to blatant preachy socialism. The average American may not even recognize it as socialism, but they sure realize the fact that someone is trying to control portions of their personal life, over which they should, legally, have no control.

When Obama, a man who speaks only one language fairly well, lectured the American public regarding the wonderful quality of knowing a second language, my hackles rose. Most American parents probably had a similar reaction. It wasn't the message, it was the way it was presented.

While we, as parents, recognize the advantages of speaking a second language, we bristle visibly when a politician attempts to counsel us on how to raise our children. Particularly a neophyte whose own children are barely school age. And this is only one example of the Obama modus operandi.

You know, there’s an old saying on Madison Avenue:

“Nothing kills a bad product faster than good advertising!”
