President Obama's plan to inspire the nation's schoolchildren with a video address next week erupted into controversy Wednesday, forcing the White House to pull out its eraser and rewrite a government recommendation that teachers nationwide assign students a paper on how to "help the president," the Washington Times reported.

Why, this is no worse than when certain world leaders have required their minions to swear loyalty to the leader instead of the country. Hitler and Stalin come to mind...

(OK, I know there's some kind of Internet rule about not bringing Hitler into an argument, but I don't suppose Obama's apologists can possibly object to him being compared to old Uncle Joe Stalin, can they?)

I agree. I think ostammer and his thugs are trying to lull the opposition into a false sense of success. This is a time during which our Republican elected representatives must stay on their toes and examine every bit of proposed legislation. Ostammer and the rats will try to shove their agenda down our throats through stealth legislation - tacking on something they really want or part of something they really want that they know we will object to as an easily missed section of the bill.

Yes, the greatest communicator the world has ever seen can’t get a simple message across to the public?

The power of the internet, conservative talk radio and Fox News basically destroyed this vile and evil fascist project.

Correct. The tuition is about a third of the cost per public student.

I own 3 houses and pay Cincinnati school taxes (and a big new levy courtesy of the 2008 0bama voters) on 2 of them and Oak Hills school tax on our living home. That’s a lot of tax to pay when you don’t
even utilize CPS’s failing (40% high school drop out rate) schools.
