Since when did the President of the United States become the Educator in Chief? I can not believe that with all the problems the "most powerful man in world" has to deal with, why is he addressing school children? The address is for all school children pre-K thru 12, nearly all of these children won't be able to vote when he's up for re-election, so what could be the motivation? I'm hoping that it's simply a stay in school and study hard message, but I can't be that rosy. It would be much easier to put out a public service message but he has to have a live address to children as young as 4. What could he possibly tell a child of 4 that would relate to a high school student? What is so important that the President has to interrupt class time to tell children? I hate to be a "Evil Monger", but my only thoughts could indoctrination. Why else would a world leader talk to children. Not only is the speech itself disturbing, but the Department of Education is distributing sample lesson plans and brain storming questions to all the schools across the country. Asking kids how Obama is inspiring or what they can do to help Obama. Not only did the US Dept of Ed send these materials out, but soon after, the materials were changed to sound less political.
Obama already has the media on his side, controls the banking industry, controls the auto industry, is trying to control health care and has even gone as far as to impose a socialist agenda upon the National Endowment for the Arts.
It seems almost daily, I become more frightened but what I see happening. So much garbage was pushed through in the first few months of the current administration it makes all the centralization the previous administration did seem like pure capitalism. I'm tired of Liberals claiming that everyone is anti Obama. I can't argue a whole lot, lots of people are anti Obama but more and more people are becoming anti Washington. They see the foundations being set for a take over of this country, as Mark Levin says, a "soft tyranny". Slowly "they" have been chipping away at our freedoms, slowly so we don't notice or don't care. Americans have become fat, dumb and happy living in a haze of their own reality, totally missing the big picture, knowing we live in the greatest country in the world with the best government in the world protected by the greatest document in the world. Would anyone ever have thought that the real threat to our country could come from within?

ReplyDeleteDid you know that Obama was not the first president to address school children in this manner? The beloved Reagan was the first and he spoke of faith in God and carried much more of a political agenda in his end speech than Obama did.....now it may have been watered down in the end as you said....but the end presentation Obama's was alot less agenda based.
I think that this country is in alot of trouble, especially in the schools. Kids aren't getting an education and what is being offered is many times not recieved as school age children aren't taking full advantage of it. There are some parents out there who play an active role in trying to ensure that their children are getting as much of an education as they can - unfortunately those dedicated parents are seeming more and more to be in the minority.
SO - If a president, any United Stated President wants to take a few minutes to say something to these kids that may not be hearing it elsewhere to work hard, be responsible for your achievements, and stay in school. I don't have a problem with it. I believe President George W. Bush was in a classroom reading to children at the time 9/11 happened. I don't agree with almost anything he did....but if he encouraged one kid to learn to read....then I can think the 8 years wasn't completely wasted.
