I figured it out! I listened to the President's Speech backwards. Yes. And do you know what he said? Here are the highlights I pulled out:
-Support North Korea. NUKES RULE!
-While in school, boys should sneak into the bathroom with other boys, and girls should sneak into the bathroom with other girls because homosexuality is acceptable, even encouraged, in order to boost Democratic votes.
-Blacks unite! We can get rid of all the white people if we continue to proliferate our race. I'll make sure you get the funding you need to keep having babies, stay on welfare, and then we'll cut a deal with the Iranians to wipe out all the Causcasians.
-While we're at it, get your mom and dad to support my health care reform, so we can get rid of some of the older people in this country. They are such a drag to our society! Let's make like the Eskimos and float the nearly-deads out to sea on a small ice chunk. But only the white ones.
Seriously. I am so confused about the controversy surrounding this speech. Did you watch it? "Stay in school, work hard, do your best, overcome your challenges." The guy is a slug.
I fear for our country and its self-centered paranoias.

Seriously.
I seem to remember a similar speech given while I was in high school by the original Pres. Bush. And, I don't seem to remember the extreme ridiculousness over the school children being "indoctrinated". Of course, Limbaugh, Hannity, O'reily, and Beck, have very few "sound bite worthy" left counter parts throwing "the end of the world" tantrums which apparently provoke the crazies.
What worries me is what we are actually teaching our children when we 1. promote that kind of fear, of our country's president of all people. 2. Refuse to listen to anybody and everybody we many (or think) we disagree with.
I'm sorry, it's just incredible.
Even though I didn't vote for, nor liked Pres. W. Bush, I still listened to what he had to say because,I actually may not know everything, and there is the slight possibility that my preconceived ideas may just be proven wrong (they never were of course because really, I do know everything:). It really is a matter of pride and fear and being right. Who cares?
They didn't show it at the public school here, and of course, they didn't show it at the right-wing private school I send my kids to, but that didn't stop me from picking a fight with them and keeping my kids home to watch it. Challenger promotes patriotism my eye.
Sorry about the book, I obviously have some strong feelings about this and it's not just because I am a commi.
The paranoia stems from the half dozen or so videos that came out during the election, showing school children being taught to sing songs praising Obama. Or chant his name while marching around like militants. (I can provide you links if you never saw them.)
I'm trying to remember the George Bush song they taught us to sing before he spoke to schoolkids back in the 90's but the lyrics just seem to elude me. Hmmm, I'm sure we sang something though.
The speech was good, the uproar was manufactured and silly, but then again, so was the White House material instructing teachers to ask kids how they can help the President. And the teachers who teach their students laudatory Obama anthems are silly too.
We support our COUNTRY over here; we ask our kids how to support the COUNTRY; we teach them to sing about the COUNTRY; we leave Leader worship to Castro and Chavez and other nations like that.
you are so funny! i didn't know what all the paranoia was about either. i know i have taught my kids to think for them selves. i think it's ok for a president to tell the kids to work hard and get over youself. maybe they'll listen to someone else if it's not coming from me!!
It looks like those Ronald Reagan speeches that I’ve been playing to you in your sleep are starting to work. I knew that deep down in the liberal bleeding heart of yours pumped the blood or a true American.
I didn't listen.. but now I know.
Crap.
You are awesome.
AMEN, sista. AMEN. I thought it was fantastic and I wish every child in America had seen it. I've had it with the frightened self-righteous freaks in this world.
I was so livid by the time I got done listening to some of the comments I had to turn off all radio and TV! One woman actually said "I don't want my child listening to his speech because I don't support abortion and homosexuality. And I don't want them to be brainwashed." It reinforces my belief that some people were off somewhere getting cotton candy on the day the Lord was handing out the brains. What has our country come to!
Thank you for the laugh. I REALLY needed it today. You know how I feel about all this crap! CRAZY!
I don't get it either. I'm disappointed that people can't tell the difference between a president's non-political statement to stay in school and the very political statement of deciding not to show it.
But I *do* know that you make me laugh every time!
This was perfect, Andrea. I love it.
I can't wait to read it to Mike so he can truly appreciate your genius. I mean, he already knows you are a genius due to your loyalty to the latch hook but, he needs to hear this.
Yeah I don't get what the big deal is. He is talking to children. Did people REALLY think he was going to push is politics on children!?!? Please. I didn't watch but that is cuz I only have a Kindergartner and I don't think she would have been interested for more than 2 seconds. But if she would have been older I would have watched it with her.
People are just dumb sometimes. It is no secret that I don't like Obama's politics. But I support him as President.
Love it. I agree 100%. My home-school-er and I watched it yesterday and I thought it was great. I was shocked when my public school-ers came home having not seen it. We live in Maryland, we are Blue!
"Don't be sloppy and do your best." That's what my 1st grader said it was about. Pretty harmless.
I can't believe, "Mr right side of the house man" supports this. After Obama gets his way he's going to get the left side of the house too and be pretty lonely when his white wife is gone.
AMEN! People are so dumb.
I love what you wrote...so true!
My daughter says she was brain washed. She was standing up and clapping and hooting and hollering during the health care speech tonight while I was yelling at the TV. She is sassy. She said the kids in her class reminded her Spanish teacher to show it because then they wouldn't have to do any class work. Nice.
Mr right side is funny.
I am sorry there wasn't any controversy. It is kind of a let down.
Well, thanks for inventing some controversy out of the controversial speech.
I am so with you on this. When our own president of the USA can't speak to our children, there's something really wrong with us. Well, some of us. Paranoia abounds on the extreme right.
