You said this well. I agree with you that the problem is that he is all about selling statism, and that is the fear I have with the speech. He does not seem to care about any values beyond his own ego and agenda, and I don’t see why all of America’s school children need to tune in to that. Plus, there’s such adoration of him among the teaching class. The Messiah speaks!

I’m not worried about my child hearing it. One of her teachers has toned down the teachings about the wonders of the healthcare bill because my daughter challenged her on this. Older kids who haven’t drunk the Kool-Aid need to be there and be vocal.

But there is one thing about this speech that I like. Too, too many of our young men don’t have father figures or role models. That isn’t Obama’s job, but nobody is doing that job and we’re losing these boys at a heart-breaking rate. Maybe, just maybe, a few of them will be inspired to aim higher, to hike up their pants above their butts so they can walk normally and maybe they’ll walk toward a better future just because they see it can be done. (Even by someone who is beggering their futures, but we won’t get into that here.)

It’s not the “D” I’m worried about, I’ll take Clinton any day over this. It’s the “S” for socialist.

Allen, thanks for the RSS alert, I think it’s fixed now, but of course have no idea how it got back in there. :P

Bush Sr. and Reagan BOTH addressed school children in nationally televised speeches. Why the outrage over this president doing it? I’m going to guess it’s something to do with that big “D” in front of his name.

We could count on past presidents to stick to the message. With Obama, I believe he is going to use this opportunity to preach to the treachers and administrators watching on healthcare and any other topic he wants to talk about.

It is all about TRUST!

They already had to redefine the description of the agenda.

As my wife and I have no children (that we KNOW of) I don’t really know what to think of this. I haven’t really been following the news or keeping up with current events. Obama is president, right? Yeah, I live in a cave and I don’t perceive that much has changed at the federal level other than the names.

What I did come here to say is that the spam is back in RSS (at least as of this post). Message problem, indeed. :(
