Obama's speech to students text

[HURRICANEBOB]

Nobody's saying to not get involved or don't parent, but I just don't see why this was such a big issue or why so many people wanted to get involved this time.

Heck, I wouldn't be opposed to all presidents speaking every year to students for 15 minutes. I think it's an educational opportunity for the students.

In other words, I just don't see how this was such a big deal.

Agree with you! The POTUS is supposed to be a leader, leaders talk to their people to set goals, set responsibilities, and to provide a common and shared desired end state.

If telling kids they need to be responsible, learn, and be productive citizens is a "learning experience", then please tell me what their parents have been teaching them at home?

I agree let him START leading and quit these speeches and public appearances....so far his leadership skills are zilch! Wonder what that little speech cost the tax payers? Anyone know?

The scoffing by Dimocrats and left biased 'news' reporters at "all the fuss" made by parents over Mr. Obama's speech to kids is hypocrisy.

Greta Van Sustern pointed out last night that when the first Bush made a similar speech to school kids in 1991, the Democrat controlled congress launched a GAO investigation complete with public hearings over the 27 thousand dollars it cost the Dept of Education to set it up. They saw the speech as a ploy by Mr. Bush to shine his own political apple at taxpayer expense during lean economic times and questioned whether it was legal. The Washington Post newspaper ripped Mr. Bush about it.

Anybody figger there'll be a GAO investigation into the cost of Mr. Obama's speech during these uh...lean economic times? I guarantee it cost considerably more than 27k. Want to bet what slant the Washington Times gives the speech?

What do you make of it Slipped? For gosh sakes don't be stupid enough to make a federal case out of such a good deed by our President, right?

Know1, you've clearly got the openest mind and of course the keenest insight on the board, bad then but good now? Wait a sec, didn't you say you were from Minnesota? If so never mind, an opinion from a state who voted to have Al Franken represent them in Washington doesn't count.

Yep saw that when Bush Sr did his speech the DOE could not and would not endorse it but when this "fool" does it they jump on board the Liberal bus like little school kids going to the zoo.

Another reason why I don't trust this idiot....
