VH1.com ^

Posted on 09/03/2009 11:19:31 AM PDT by SilvieWaldorfMD

September is back-to-school time for VH1, as well. An education-centered special, Get Schooled, is set to debut on VH1 and its sister stations on Tuesday, Sept. 8 at 8/7c. Check the details below:

Want to know what it’s like to work with Kelly Clarkson, LeBron James and President Obama — and what it takes to get there? Then tune in to Get Schooled: You Have The Right on Tuesday, September 8 at 8PM EST. Airing on VH1 and its sister channels (BET, CMT, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, MTV and Spike), this 30-minute special shows how applying oneself during school will greatly affect the remaining 80% of your life.

Get Schooled profiles three real-life people with different social, economic and racial backgrounds, including Kelly Clarkson’s Music Director, LeBron James’ Marketing Manager and a speechwriter for President Barack Obama. All three of their bosses will introduce the viewer to the story, but each person profiled explains how education has made them the successful people they are today. In addition, flashbacks depict key educational moments that prepared the “Schooled Ones” for their careers and greatly influenced their lives. Get ready to learn about what it’s like to work side by side with three of the most talented people in the world, including:

Kelly Clarkson — Viewers find out who Kelly’s Music Director is and how his education led him to work with one of the most gifted and respected musicians today. “Get Schooled” documents the two working closely together on an upcoming performance.

LeBron James — Viewers learn who LeBron’s Marketing Manager is, how she landed this position, and what she does in conjunction with LeBron. Viewers also learn how she took a very unconventional educational route to end up as a key member of the LeBron’s team.

Barack Obama — Obama’s Speechwriter explains how education shaped their life, shaped their experiences and provided the opportunity to become a trusted and valued member of the President’s inner circle. Viewers will also see the President and the Speechwriter collaborating on ideas for an important upcoming event.

Let’s just hope the President’s speechwriter didn’t write this sentence:

“Obama’s Speechwriter explains how education shaped their life, shaped their experiences and provided the opportunity to become a trusted and valued member of the President’s inner circle.”

Of course, the assumption is: the most at risk element of the target audience is going to come running in off the streets at 8 PM to catch this program, right?
Good, I hope it works and it breaks the vicious cycle of government welfare induced human suffering and dependency.
And that fathers will suddenly show up to support their kids and that responsible people will sneeze in their sleeves instead of their hands.
Sorry, this administration is starting to sound like the patients at a state run insane asylum have taken over.

JFK asked (all of us)... “Ask not what your country can do for you, but rather ask what you can do for your country.

OBUMMER asks (of the children)... “Ask what you can do to help me”.

JO NUVARK asks (of the Lord)... “Ask Obummer one last time to answer Your knock on the door of his heart”.

In the meantime, between vacations, extravagant dinners and propaganda video tapings, who is running the country?

Isn’t this the Scientology speech? Changing 80 percent of your life...has a ring of some Hitler-like speech.

ALSO: NEW PSA ALUNCHING THE SAME NIGHT...

In time for the first day of school for many children across the U.S., President Obama is joining the Ad Council and the U.S. Army to launch a new series of television and radio public service advertisements (PSAs) designed to encourage Americans to take responsibility and support high school students on their path to graduation. The new ads, which feature the President, are a part of the Ad Council and the U.S. Army’s High School Dropout Prevention “Boost” campaign. They are being distributed to media outlets nationwide to coincide with a special address President Obama will deliver directly to students in grades K-12 on Tuesday, September 8th on the importance of taking responsibility for their education. The speech will be broadcast live at 12:00 pm EST on www.whitehouse.gov/live and C-SPAN.

We pay for these cable channels (which never made sense because they have commercials) so that they can pimp 0bama.
