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.
Unfortunately for you, 0bama’s attempt at indoctrination here shouldn’t have even been allowed any public school time at all. If you are unable to see how the TOTUS using a government institution to promote partisan propaganda, however padded, barring a national emergency, is inappropriate if not actually illegal, then you ought not to be posting in a forum that adults frequent.
“The speech was innocuous, and reinforced what teachers tell their students anyway.”
So it was a waste of everyone’s time and money. The Messiah trying to take the place of teachers and parents in the kid’s life. After all, who has more influence in a kid’s life, teacher, parent or some abstract being in some abstract place? Nanny State in grand display!

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.
