Once again, one of the masters of the universe trotted out on MSNBC has discovered the cure to one of society's ills - more Obama.
Daily Voice editor and CNBC contributor Keith Boykin waved off the reservations of some parents about President Barack Obama addressing their children in the classroom. Boykin appeared on MSNBC on Sept. 3 in a segment about the classroom controversy and added his insightful commentary on the matter.
"So much of the debate about President Obama has been politicized in an effort by some to delegitimize his presidency," Boykin said. "This is clearly much ado about nothing. We're talking about the President of the United States speaking to school kids. Why wouldn't schools want this to happen? That's why our kids are so dumb today, because they don't want to have basic common sense in the classroom."

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”.
hahahahaha! Too funny. It’s the smart kids’ parents that are objecting to Obama in the classroom!
Common sense tells Americans to keep that cynical demagogue away from their children.

Lots of cockroaches seem to be coming out of the woodwork lately.
Public school teachers are like the person at work, who spends all their time and effort trying to think of how to avoid working.
Rather than focus on political correctness, gayness, progressiveness, Obama, or climate change.
Shut up and teach! That’s your job.
And on the 5th day, Obama said, let them be educated and they were educated....

What would these same leftists be saying if it were George Bush trying to politicize their kids??
Anyone else remember the stink that some teachers put up regarding portraits of Bush in the classroom?
Another argument for home-schooling.
Talk to me Mr. President. I will be responsible for raising a patriotic, hard working, motivated, tax paying, God loving America. I will raise a child that has strong values, utilizes God given talents, appreciates freedom, and thinks for him/herself. I will lead first by instruction, then by example. If you want my child to grow up with a dedicated life of servitude to this nations government, you are going to have to be more influential than me.
Mr. President, with all due respect, this nation, America, is not a government. It is a United States. Each State is to be governed in accordance with and at the behest of it's citizens. Beyond a geographical location, America is the citizens united in a charter of freedom and opportunity. Our forefathers wisely intended the power of governance to be in the hands of the citizens. We will not exist to serve a government. The government is to serve us.
Thank you for your interest in motivating or influencing my child. I'm sure you sincerely care about the youth in this nation. Did it occur to you that millions of Americans might be insulted by your assumption that parents aren't teaching their children what it is to be a good American?
Or, more likely, is this a political stunt to advance an alternate agenda?
My daughter and I will be out hunting, discussing history and learning about the great outdoors when you give your speech.
Obama has chosen to surround himself with radicals, extremists, racists, and promotes as well as supports those with an anti-American agenda. He demands a “pledge” to him rather than this country. His actions, while in office, have bordered on tyranny. Why would anyone other than his type want this man speaking to children.
Nicely written. Very respectful. I choose to use a different approach. Hey Obama, keep your ideological agenda away from my children and grandchildren. The responsibility for their education is already in very capable hands and we do not need your left wing ideological agenda shoved down our throats. Please know that while you are blathering away, my grandaughter (the only one currently in school) will not be watching you spew forth your tripe.

I got news for this peckerhead...kids are not dumb because they don't wan't this to happen. Kids are dumb because they would rather wear their pants around their ankles and idolize the corner drug dealer and get a gubmint check instead of a job.
It's unconstitutional.
“Unwillingness to Have Obama in Classroom Symptom of Why School Kids ‘Are So Dumb Today’”
... Profound! Brilliant! Sarc/off
Dumbest remark of the year!
He's pretty much managed to do that himself...
