Those kids are already deep into their liberal indoctrination program...btw, how does Eugene OR get lumped in with those major cities?
My son started school on Thursday. He said there’s been no news about whether or not they were going to be watching Obama’s speech.
You can add to this...of the each 100 kids who do get forced into the room to watch....at least thirty are doped up, drunk or half-asleep from being up at 1AM. Three will be pregnant girls sitting there and worrying about how to explain to Mom about their situation. Eight will be anti-authority geeks who will challenge everything that the President says. Five will be guys who are having affairs with their teachers so they are thinking about lusty things. Twenty-five will be products of a “Rush-Hannity-Beck” household and openly repeat what Dad said or what Rush said...driving the English Literature teacher crazy because this ate up an entire hour. Fourteen of them will be wondering what the big guy is saying because English is a second language for them. Three will hint things related to 1936 Nazi Germany and be sent home for the rest of the day. So finally, we come to folks who remain...who might be far-left liberal. They might take something positive out of the speech.
These guys who dreamed this up in the White House....are thirty years removed and don’t grasp what’s going on in the education department of the heartland.
The taxpayer dollars wasted on this fiasco must run in the millions.
Yet the dems are refusing to allow republicans to mail health care information to their constituents.
All the things that some thought were cool about this man are now being seen in a different light. Public speaking was one his ace in the hole, now it is a major liability. If he were smart, he would lay very low and out of sight for the next three years. But I never believed he was all that smart, just arrogant. I think is he is toast.
The speech is scheduled to run right smack dab during the lunch time for a lot of schools in central time zone.
Our school runs lunch in shifts, from 11 to 12:30. I think that played a part in a lot of schools blowing this off.
There are times when I think this administration is fraught with evil geniuses and then other times just plain stupid clueless people.
Maybe they’re idiot savants?
Mark Lloyd, FCC "diversity czar" is a very bad appointment. His views (and direct clips of him speaking) have been on FOX, but so far the exposure seems to have generated far less attention then it should. He is openly opposed to free speech on the networks. For those of you who didn't catch it, at one time he suggested a tax on private broadcasters of 100% of their operating budgets (not even their profits), to fund "public" broadcasting. He lauded the way Chavez took over the media when they started to mount significant opposition to him.
