“The White House is ramping up an effort to promote a nationwide competition to decide which high school wins a commencement speech by President Obama. “

That’ll artificially inflate the numbers - just their style.

I bet he will “line up” a gig using his union cronies and thier connections with a school board, probably in Wisconsin.

I nominate Madison Metropolitan High School and suggest the theme of the address be showing up for work.

I've made it clear to my son to avoid discussing politics in school. At his age, it's not a prominent topic anyways. We're working on critical thinking and debate for when the right time comes.

Still, out here in Arizona, he told me a story about some video they were watching in class. At some point the story flashed a shot of obama on the screen. He said the entire class broke out in "BOOOO" and other cries. The teacher sat back and smiled and held his fingers to his lips and the class settled back down.

Why not make up a fictitious high school and enter it in the competition?

If they wanted to have a REALLY popular competition, then they set this up wrong. The way to go is to have 0bama say he is going to speak at each and every High School graduation in the entire country. The competition would be for each High School to write an essay why they DON’T want him to come. The top, say, 500,000 essays would get the privilege of having him NOT come. The remaining unlucky ones... well, have fun!

Going for the new voters who turn 18 just in time to re-elect? That’s weak...the vast majority of them will be playing hooky on election day.

They could get millions of responses if they announced that Obama would speak at whatever school does not send in an application.

I point out losers to my kids as an example of what NOT to do and how NOT to act.

We wanted Jim Brown (Browns #32) but we ended up with a pro wrestler for our commencement speaker back in 1966. It was a lot more fun than any politician could offer.
