How about teaching kiddies what you’re really good at, O? Like scoring some blow and booze when you have a little bit of extra cash? Or how to get into prestigious private schools and rarified universities with no grades, no achievement, no dough and no connections?

That they have to write articles (and I’ve seen several) exclaiming, “See! Obama really did inspire the kids!! See!” clearly speaks to how ineffectual it actually was.

Me: The principal of the elementary school where I teach sent out an email at about 7:30 this morning saying that our campus would not be watching the speech.

You: The speech was innocuous, and reinforced what teachers tell their students anyway. Protesting or obstructing this speech plays right into 0's hands. It's a stupid and ultra-partisan overreaction.

I obviously disagree. Of course the speech was innocuous...thanks to the outcry from conservatives and parents across the country, who deserve immeasureable credit for refusing to give Zero carte blanche with America's children. He needs to be opposed at virtually every turn. The speech was undoubtedly scrubbed of plenty of propaganda before delivery. Waiting until after the speech to speak up would have been too late; the damage would have been done. I don't care if Zero can claim that the complaints were an ultra-partisan reaction. The point is that he was silenced in many schools yesterday. And anyway, he doesn't have the time to gloat about an "ultra-partisan reaction," he has too many self-inflicted problems to cope with right now.

From your comments, I can only assume that you are not a school principal in a conservative military communtiy that voted against Obama by a large margin, let alone a superintendent in such a community. Please get back with me when you are qualified to comment on their actions.
