Why is it that whenever something simple like President Obama's address to school children is announced those of the opposite political bent become outraged? Since when would it be outrageous for the President of the United States to tell it's children, "Stay in school"? Do they think that the kids' eyes are going to be held open ala A Clockwork Orange?
Honestly people, I don't think President Obama is going to turn your child into a "gasp" Democrat with just one speech. There's politics and then there is history. I remember watching President Lyndon Johnson's inauguration speech at school in fifth grade and I don't remember a word of it. How many of the kids that President George W. Bush read to turned into Republicans? Aren't there times when the president is just the president instead of a product of the political machine?

The problem with politics is that politicians on both sides are constantly thinking about the next election and not on actually getting things done. There are some huge issues that need to be addressed. I hope that our elected officials actually get some work done.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I would love it if both sides would work together for solutions rather than against each other so that they can be re-elected.
