Camel's nose propaganda campaigns need to be quashed.
My kid would survive a root canal too, doesn’t mean I don’t limit his intake of sweets and make sure he brushes his teeth..
I would not let Van Jones, Reverend Wright, Holder, Rahm, Biden, Cass, Browner, any Kennedy, Reid, Pelosi, etc etc talk to my child either!
I do NOT allow politicians access to my children without me being present.(PERIOD) If he truly wants to speak to our children he can do this same presentation and make it available for parents to watch with their children in the comfort of their own homes.
Our Schools do not exist for his personal captive audience desires.....
Let the author have their children be a captive audience for Sarah Palin- then come talk to us....
I do not mind that my child hears the President speak, but I'd prefer he went on TV and spoke to Americans as individuals. Obama doesn't seem to like that, and prefers grandiose settings and staged events. He might be more a bit more successful by remembering that it's not all about him. I know: "good luck" with that.
F*CK YOU Dan Calabrese! Leave MY KIDS alone.
That would muss up some heads, yo.
MAybe conservatives would be complaining if this was just a speech by Obama about how important school was.
But the speech is a half hour, it said it was a speech calling them to action, and the education web site specifically said the purpose was partly to get kids to pledge to “help Obama”, and that teachers should then require the kids to present an action plan and to remind them of their pledge to help Obama.
That is gone now, but the fact that the government EVER FELT COMFORTABLE putting that on an official web site shows that this administration cannot be trusted to act in a non-partisan manner.
If Obama was to appear in front of school children to read a book, it wouldn’t be an innocous book like Bush was reading on 9/11, it would probably be Carl Marx.
I’m relieved. Sort of. After adding Senator Nasty Al Franken(stein) to dingbat Amy Klobuchar, I was afraid Minnesota might now be home to NorthStarWriters. Not so. Although some of the writers are in, or come from MN, the group is based in that bankrupt bastion of Demidiocy, Michigan. Whew!
I’ll tell you what, you let your kids watch. My daughter will not be watching if I have to keep her home from school that day.
Camel's nose propaganda campaigns need to be quashed.
of course they will SURVIVE, doesn’t mean they ought to sit still for it. only those who see Obama as a benign entity see this as an OK thing to do. i emailed my 15 yo’s principal [she’s in private school] and they do not plan to participate.
My 16 year old daughter said she would just walk out of the classroom. I would back her up. Obama has nothing to say to my family.
I don’t think you would be so accepting of President Bush doing what caliph bammy is doing if he had planned to ask American children to talk to mommy and daddy or daddy and daddy or mommy and mommy or Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice to support the war. You would have screamed your pointy little head off.
No child of mine would attend school that day (if they had the misfortune of being public schooled) and saints preserve anyone who gave my kids any grief for not being there.
ASK NOT what you can do for your country.
ASK INSTEAD what you can do for President 0bama.
Some crackpot group of writers from Michigan are going to try and give me advice? Take off, hosers.
If zero actually talked to the kids and praised THEM for being in school and for not doing drugs, and for respecting their parents and loving their country, this would be no problem. But the jack ass and his troupe are attempting to brain wash the kids with their BHO love-in and sing-alongs about how great HE is.
His ratings are taking a nose-dive so he’s cultivating his own “narcissistic supply”. As his popularity sinks, things are going to get a lot worse. A control freak in the midst of losing control is dangerous and unpredictable.
Gerald Ford was asking kids to support the Country, and not directly to school children with little to no parental knowledge about what was going on. Bambi as going to ask the little mush-minds to think of ways that they can support him, obama.
Friggin “Stay still in this pot while it’s heating to boil, you dumb a$$ frog!” stuff. Words of such bozos should be ignored.
All in all it’s just another brick in the wall.
Hey! Fascists! Leave our kids alone.....
When my local BOE sees that they won’t get paid for my kid’s butt in the seat, they won’t pull this again. Obami has to realize that the American people are finally waking up when 1/3 of the kids are kept home as he is supposed to address them.
Education is local, not Federal.
