[I’ve talked about your teachers’ responsibility for inspiring you, and pushing you to learn.
I’ve talked about your parents’ responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and get your homework done, and don’t spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with that Xbox.
I’ve talked a lot about your government’s responsibility for setting high standards, supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren’t working where students aren’t getting the opportunities they deserve.]

This is where I stopped reading. This makes me want to barf!

How did we ever get by without the guidance of Zero? /sarcasm

Amazing.... this guy wants access to the schools but FAILS to provide us all with access to his school records.

Yeah. He's acting like a typical illegal alien.

[RatsDawg]

nice catch! HA

[Rebelbase]

I’ve scanned it twice and see nothing wrong with it. Kids should be having this kind of stuff pounded into them on a daily basis by their teachers and parents.

[LA Woman3]

In the President’s world only children of diversity face adversity. I’m just going by the names in his examples. Maybe Adoni Schulz is middle class white, who knows?

You are exactly right! I have never heard of Roma, Texas have you??

[Nextrush]

The opposition to Obama has enabled the White House to change the speech so it sounds like something Bill Cosby might say.

The new toned down version will be put in the face of those who oppose Obama by the MSM.

They will ridicule the opposition.

But this is an unprecdented event. Its not Bush or Reagan visiting one school and making a speech. Its an attempt in the 1984 Big Brother viewscreen way for a “leader” to speak to all children in every school everywhere.

The potential for evil here is scary.

But now Obama has to bite his tongue and talk nice because of all the attention.

<>You’ll need the insights and critical thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free”

Really?

[thecraw]

I will eat my hat if he closes as it it is written...”God Bless America”. I am pretty sure his his lips would fall off.

I'm sure he'll SAY that, but his teleprompter will read... ALLAH AKBAR!

On Fox News:
In Boward County Florida, all students are required to attend the speech If their parents choose to keep them out of class, the student will still be punished.

I’m willing to bet that Reagan’s speech was not mandatory in classrooms across the nation. This mandatory requirement over the objection of some parents shows that in Obama’s administration, the state trumps parents concerns.

[Fishtalk]

Yeah, I noticed he said that the school, the teachers and “I” are working to insure that you have needed equipment.

This is just so stupid and I’d say the same thing if it were a pub president doing this. While on some vague surface it might seem like a good idea for the president to “encourage” school children to bigger and better things, it’s dangerous and will almost always lead to a big campaign commercial.

I say the president should be doing whatever presidents do and forget all this propaganda.

[fwdude]

Yeah, his compulsory mention of AIDS spoke volumes - has to placate his homosexual contingent, don't you know.

Do most kids even know what AIDS is in respect to how it is primarily contracted?

[LA Woman3]

Umm, didn’t he go to a Muslim school in Indonesia? I seem to remember that from somewhere.

No one really knows where he went to school since he has never released any of his records!

[LA Woman3]

I’ve talked about your parents’ responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and get your homework done, and don’t spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with that Xbox.

This irritated me as well.

Basically, after talking about his favorite subject, himself, he encourages kids to stay in school because chances are they're not going to be a rapper, pro athlete or reality star, otherwise I guess it'd be okay to drop out. And, since they have very little chance of being any of those things, he encourages them to be the next best thing, community organizers.

Read it, nothing controversial in it, imo. Good speech for the kids to hear.

It is the followup afterwards that has a lot of people upset.

But the speech itself is okay.

[KansasGirl]

“You’ll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment. You’ll need the insights and critical thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free.”

Yep. This is liberal indoctrination.
