Good catch!
It’s all about Obama!
The ONLY background information we have on him, is what OBAMA wrote about himself with no evidence to support - even his place of birth.

Where is his proof of citizenship?
Where in the Constitution does it say the government should buy a company? And the questions keep coming. No one is holding him accountable. THAT is the problem.
Just scanning the speech without reading it, all those self-referencing statements pop out...
I don't think Obama has the pull he used to.

What difference does it make if one need not reveal one’s grades?
I'm thinking most elementary kids are going to tune out very quickly.
There is NO “I” in TEAM!!!!
I honestly doubt this is the original “message” he
intended to give. He more-than-likely sanitized the speech to make the conservatives appear wrong in their objection to his attempt to influence school children. He is a con artist to max.

LMAO! Seems to me someone better go back to English class!
I’m beginning to accept that he really does think he is the only one who can save America’s soul - just like Michelle said during the campaign.
Hasn't he appointed one yet or is he still in Havana getting vetted?
Emil Faber said it just as well and more succinctly:
EMIL FABER
FOUNDER - A.D.1904
KNOWLEDGE IS GOOD
“Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day.”
He needs help putting his feet on the floor every morning.
Exactly!

Mary Jo Kilroy (D-OH) introduced an amendment, which passed, to the Serve America act. This amendment allows Americorps volunteers to monitor physical education teachers and food programs at school - for the sake of the child’s health. Won’t be long before it’s history teachers, too, I’ll bet. I wonder how many teachers are aware they’re about to be monitored and have their records sent to the government on how they teach and if it’s effective?
And if you do coke and smoke cigs, too....along with a beer or two....that’s okay, too. Look at me for the perfect example. And if yoiu get your girl pregnant...no problem...we’ll kill the baby for her...free of charge. Then you won’t get stuck with child support.
Maybe some of the high-schoolers will, but most of the younger kids will start drawing or nodding off.
I suspect that some teachers will give their kids extra credit or assignments based on what he says, making them pay attention.
