Two top Republicans sided Sunday with President Barack Obama on his scheduled speech Tuesday to school children.
“I have been in communication with Arne Duncan and the team at Department of Education,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said on "Fox News Sunday." “I believe this is going to be posted. People are going to see it in advance. It is going be a totally positive speech. If that is what it is, it is good to have the president of the United States saying to young people across America stay in school and do your homework. It’s good for America.”
Senate Republican Conference Chairman Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, a former education secretary under President George H.W. Bush, said: “Of course, the president of the United States should be able to address students.”
Parents and teachers should be able to choose whether to show the speech, Alexander said. But it is a good opportunity to give students a civics lessons, he said, and teachers should embrace the moment by showing clips of other presidents.

Newt has completely lost me, for good.
It seems he doesn’t want to take back America.
He should know when to keep these things to himself.

If that is what it is, it is good to have the president of the United States saying to young people across America stay in school and do your homework.
Fine by me, as long as it's understood the first draft was "turn in your parents if they don't agree with my health care plan".
Just because Obama gives an innocuous speech, don't assume that he would have given the same speech without all the right wing ranting.
