What did Bush 1 say to the kids? I never heard about that speech.
Does anyone think this will be the only time Obama tries this? The idea is to get used to seeing Obama's face on the tv. He is the "endless campaigner" and this is another part of his ongoing campaign. This is why my son won't be allowed to watch. I do not want him seeing Obama's face and connecting it with his education. Obama does not want children educated in the traditional sense. He wants them to connect govt. with education.
Ethic minorities need to be persuaded to stay in school. For instance, all across the country an average of more than fifty per cent of Hispanics fail to graduate. A poll was taken a year ago about their reasons for dropping out. Peer pressure, getting a job, no encouragement from parents to stay in school, education not a cultural priority. English only was not a problem in school, nor were the courses deemed too hard. I assume blacks drop out at a high rate, as well, and for that reason, a talk from the black President might help. But I doubt it, and the risk of brainwashing is too great. (That civilian security force he’s planning: kids with convicted felons in fatigues marching around with fists in the air praising the Dear Leader.
He could empty the prisons of young black males with drug or gang related violence convictions, and you’d better believe his czars have already drawn up plans to get things in motion.) This is coming as sure as God made little green apples. He’s already talked about the tragedy of too many black kids in jail, and that he wanted to do something about it. Let them out, provide a living, self respect (the fatigues and fists in the air) Put convicted felons in charge of your kids.
I hate the great one and so does my 10 year old. I wonder why?
1. Chicanery--someone knowingly uses underhanded methods to get something from you he wants.The first is just the ordinary crook. The second is bad but not encountered too often. The third has all the bad characteristics of the first two. Who cares if he really, really believes that he's doing what's best for you if it has the effect of chicanery and despoils you of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness as you happen to define it? Who cares if his motives are "pure," ie. in line with his beliefs, if he ends up slicing and dicing society to stitch the pieces together in his own Frankenstein version of what he considers to be the just society? And when you combine insanity with overweening pride ("Barack believes there's nothing he cannot do by the sheer force of his will," Michelle Obama) with executive control of military forces and the federal government, you're in deep, deep crap.
2. Evil intent--someone who gets off on doing others wrong, the kid pulling wings of the flies kind of guy.
3. Too convinced that nothing can proceed without him--someone who is just flat out friggin nuts.

Obama intends to address the nation’s schoolchildren,we will teach you everything you need to know in our new camps.
LOL! He says it pretty well!
