Why would you call that foolish? It's working in the Town Hall meetings as well. Do you feel that is foolish?

You seem to stay so in the middle on issues that it might seem foolish to you but once you stand for something (like voting) and casting your concrete opinion then you have a legit comment.......don't you think? Do you have kids?

The "fool" will do whatever or say whatever to get in the publics good graces.
They will all do or say whatever to get in the public's good graces.

He may very well have changed the speech, but I found it very foolish that there was such a large public outcry.

It was a simple, short speech to schoolchildren. The fact that people made such fools of themselves over this just show that we live in a time and a culture where everyone has to be offended or opposed to everything that goes on.

I said it before the speech and I stick to it now that I heard it. There was no reason to make a big deal about a president speaking to schools.

(Maybe it just seems I'm in the middle, but I am very, very hard to the right on most issues - especially those dealing with government, taxation and fiscal policy. I do have some left leaning opinions on some social issues, but in general I am on the right)
