Dear Leader speaks to the masses.

Indoctrination 101 for the little marxists.

VOTES, VOTES, VOTES & MORE FUTURE VOTES. Thats all this is for. He doesn’t care about the “defectors.” He’s got the majority of the ignorant young ones in the country as his captive audience.

I was not going to let my child be exposed to this buffoon no matter what. However, I read the text and was thinking, “well it's not that bad, Maybe I was overreacting??...” BUT, I got to that paragraph and came back to reality. This speech is to be given to children as young as 5!!! Both of my children are grade school age and neither one of them have had AIDS or homosexuality explained to them. You are so right in your assessment that that sentence is going to have a lot of young children asking questions that parents like me don't teachers answering. Like you, my children will not be listening to this.

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.

Is there an audio of this speech? Rush could play it tomorrow to show what really inspires.

There’s no political problem, no overt propagandizing, but what a dismal, self-infatuated, speech! All about the Obama narrative, nothing good about America, and a subtle dig about all the unfairness in the US that they’ll need to grow up and fight. Read Reagan’s speech here in this thread to see what I mean.

Youth in these organizations were taught that the state was more important than the individual or the family~~http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/ht/38.2/pagaard.html “ if you quit on school – you’re not just quitting on yourself, you’re quitting on your country.”

That’s true, it is all cleaned up and I am grateful for that. As much as I dislike so much about this administration, so far of what I got from the speech is - that it is good.

I think he could have layed off of children’s responsibility to the country. I think that is a lot to demand from school age children when most of them do not think that far in advance. He probably should have left it to study hard, blah, blah, blah. So, that part bothered me that he emphasised it so much. I am sure it may have something to do with his later requests for service. In that case, it bothers me. But, he added some personal notes that may go far with those who are growing up in bad circumstances.

I still feel it is up to the parents to shows it to their kids and I hope that the schools do not have activities that go with this speech.

If someone sees something else or any concerns in the speech that I missed, please point it out to me. I read through it pretty fast.

I did notice something else - there is a whole lot in there about misery. One thing I have noticed about his speeches is they seem to be full of ‘whoa is me’ attitude. He draws on the victim mentality. There are many well adjusted children out there, but he does not seem to be addressing them, only those who are having problems. I think that is his campaign style.

Has Barry forgotten how he reacted when his mother tried to talk to him about school ?

” Dreams From My Father “ page 95

It was the start of Obama’s senior year in high school.
His mother is lecturing him with “ her face as grim as a hearse.”
“ Don’t you think you’re being a little casual about your future ? “ she said.

“What do you mean ?”

” You know exactly what I mean.
One of your friends was just arrested for drug possession. Your grades are slipping.
You haven’t even started your college applications.
Whenever I try to talk to you about it you act like I’m just this great big brother.”

” I didn’t need to hear this. It wasn’t like I was flunking out.”

He starts to talk about not going to college.
“ She cut me off before I could finish .
I could get into any school in the country if I just put in a little effort.
“Remember what’s that like ? Effort ?
Damn it, Bar you can’t just sit around
like some good time Charlie waiting for luck to see you through .”
A good time what ?
A good time Charlie, a loafer.”...

” Instead of shouting, I laughed.
A good time Charlie, huh ?
Well why not, maybe that’s what I want out of life.”

And of course who can forget this from “ Dreams..:
“I had learned not to care,” he wrote. ..
Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though. ..

“Junkie. Pothead. That’s where I’d been headed”

"I’m working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books, equipment and computers you need to learn."

Yeah, right. Pappa Obama out there all alone getting all the books, equpment and computers NOT the taxpayers?

And he ended up as a potty junkhead.

This is a government site, any reason for the excerpt? I don’t want cookies from this President or his ACORN nuts.

And that is who this speech seems to be directed to - those who don’t care.

Maybe there are many children who do care more than he did - yet he does not seem to be able to identify with them.
