Obama to make unprecedented address to all public school students; September 8…
President Obama’s Address to Students Across America September 8, 2009 –
MM:
Schools have used students as little lobbyists on everything from illegal immigration to gay marriage to anti-war activism.
And most recently: Census collection.
Will Obama be able to resist issuing a call to youth arms to marshal help in passing his legislative agenda?
The thing is: He won’t need to make the call explicit.
Obama zealot teachers like this one across the country will do all the extra-curricular bullying and haranguing for him. Remember:
ED:
One does leap out: “Write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the President.” Is that an elective or a prerequisite for mathematics?
Presidents often visit classrooms and talk to students. It usually makes a good photo op to put the President with children who obviously enjoy the attention, and there’s no harm in it. It can be a good teaching moment for civics instruction, which this nation does poorly at delivering. The timing can even be explained as the first week in which all children will return to school, and since for many of them it will be their first day, it won’t interrupt their normal curriculum.
Still, the nationwide speech aspect of this is unprecedented, and a little odd. Coming as it does on the heels of a disastrous summer, it’s not surprising that people are suspicious, including the boss
Ace:
So, you know, is it too much to ask he provide the text of the speech to parents before he delivers it so they can make an informed choice about it?
I’m not saying I don’t trust you. I’m just saying — no, I am saying I don’t trust you, now that I think about it.
Thanks to circa, who’s trying to put The Omen III: The Final Conflict out of his mind and forget that Damien Thorne’s biggest cause and font of support was “the children.”

You right-winged extreamist’s need your own planet or a padded room. Soon you will be the minority, then what are you going to do? Keep your children home and teach them how to use your gun?
You need to watch yourselves on the “telly” and see how ignorant you are. I would wager a bet that your highest level of education is the eighth grade.
You must have spent 9-12, “pickin taters” and having target practice with a Boones Farm wine bottle on yer picket fences, after sloshing the hogs~
I am pleased to have this Professor of Law School give my sons school, a nice talk on studying hard, rather that stocking up on bullets.
“Stupid is as stupid does”……get a grip already…..

Hey Kristine: When you learn how to spell, perhaps you can start to consider calling others ignorant. Meanwhile, you sound like a typical Obama supporter.
If believing in Liberty, the fundamental values of America as founded, the Constitution, individual opportunity and self-determination meets your definition of a right-wing extremist, then I accept that label as a compliment.
I see people that think like you as part of the problem, part of why this Nation is in trouble.

Here’s the type of speech Axelrod and Emanuel would probably like the Teleprompter reader to deliver, if they could get away with it:
Hello kiddies,
It’s me, your Dear Leader! I was once a kid just like you, and so I know what you’re thinking. Well here in Washington we are doing everything we can to help you. We want to give you longer summer vacation, less homework, and lots of cool free stuff. But you need to help us. Here’s what you can do to help the President:
1. Make sure all your friends support the Democrat party. After all we are the party of everything cool; the Republicans are just mean racists who want to poison the Earth and destroy little animals.
2. If your parents talk bad about the President, or any Democrat, make a note of it. write down the time, who said what, and call 1-800-brownshirt.
3. If you hear your parents even so much as disagree with anything the Democrats want to do, call the same number. Remember they are wrong and need our help to correct their misunderstanding.
You will be rewarded well for helping your Dear Leader.
and so on…future Hitler youth!

Kristine, I assume you do don’t get much news from the programs you watch. So you may want to sit down.
Obama’s numbers are falling. More and more people are realizing that his rhetoric is just empty promises and platitudes; And, if the election were held today he would be in the minority.
The economy has not gotten better it has continued to get worse. People he has placed in power are resigning in shame. Obama has done more for those against his policies by his actions than he has done for those who hate the US. The economy will not improve by 2010, many house seats will be lost, and Obama will be a lame duck for the rest of his term.

Kristine.
North Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, several select others, why don’t you and all the rest of you Left-wingers go move there? Take your choice, we’ll make an arrangments with those countries, one of you wacko’s moves in, and one of the select countries citizens who would like to live in a free Republic moves here. While your at it, take the entire scumbag first family with you, then we can elect a REAL president who loves America.

“You right-winged extreamist’s need your own planet or a padded room”.
Yannow, Kristine, I’ve been thinking the same thing myself. Of course, there is no such planet. I will, however, settle for the next best thing: you moon bats go find yourself a more simpatico country. North Korea and Cuba come to mind: how about you move there instead?
“I would wager a bet that your highest level of education is the eighth grade”.
That is a bet you would lose.
“You must have spent 9-12, “pickin taters” and having target practice with a Boones Farm wine bottle on yer picket fences, after sloshing the hogs”.
Spoken like a true trendy lefty elitist. Did it ever occur to you that hard working Americans who pick “taters” (sic) and “slosh” (sic) hogs are the reason you have all that nice food from the grocery store? I don’t suppose so since trendy lefties have *zero* conception as to how wealth is created. Here are a couple of hints, Kristine. There is no magic money tree growing in the Rose Garden that Barack can give a shake whenever he comes up with some bright idea. Food just does not magically appear on the grocery store shelf.
