I'm COMPLETELY amazed at folks who think the President talking to their children about something like doing the right thing and studying hard has caused so much trouble. Don't forget, George, Sr. did this back when he was president.
You have a copy of the speech? Care to share? Yes, Bush 41 did do this, and he caught hell for it from the Dems.
Be honest. These are the same people that aren't happy McCain didn't win the election, so they are grasping for any straw they can possible grab. Silly, stupid misleading arguments like saying the president wasn't a citizen, like saying he's a Nazi or that now he has something nefarious up his sleeve are a COMPLETE waste of time. My reaction to the silly reactions from...sorry, Republicans...makes me want to use curse words. However, I won't stoop to that level.
I could care less that McCain didn't win, he's not a fighter he's a placater. I do agree with you on the birther nut jobs, there is so much more REAL proof of his ineptitude out there to use. Don't be afraid to use colorful language, lefties use them all the time . "Republicans are azzholes"-Van Johnson "Green Jobs CZAR for Dear Leader.
He's sending a good message to students. Get over yourselves. Take a minute to listen instead of judging right away; and take a look at what he is going to say before you get on your high horses so quickly. I sure bet when George, Jr. sent my friends and family into Iraq, you were probably telling your kids what a wonderful guy the president was. It's disgusting.
We have to wait until Monday (holiday) to read it unless you want to share your copy. So are you going to say that Obama is a great president now that he is sending troops in to fight his war? HELLO, Afghanistan.
It's disgusting not only because it's a non-issue, but because you are the same people who aren't "active" in your own communities. Oh, you are? Well, then why are the kids who have turned teens and adults during George, Jr.'s administration now so unbelievably disrespectful and rude. Why do those kids think the world is owed to them, with parents who roll over whenever their kids make a request. It's horrible. Did this President's children drink underage or stick their tongues out during motorcades? Pa-leeze.
Actually it is an issue. The democrats like to point at falling SAT scores and how third world countries far outpace us in science and math education but we're going to give the president time out of the school day to say the same thing that parents have been saying for years/ What makes you think that the way he says it will hit home with Johnny? Yes, there are a lot of kids that think the world owes them something. You wanna know why? Because single mommy and daddy are trying to buy off Jr's affection in a perverse game of one upmanship. If it isn't the parents with the hand outs, here comes more entitlement programs courtesy of the US taxpayer! Nice, you had to drag the president's children into it. Classy! We'll let time play to see how the Obama children end up acting as adolescents, then as college students. If you think they will get the same degree of scrutiny as the Bush twins then I have a bridge to sell you. One more point to make- your insinuation that Bush is the reason that kids are rude now is so off the chart retarded I can't believe that you believe it. Let's see-Katrina-Bush's fault, the tsunami-Bush's fault, rude kids with cocked hats and baggy pants-Yep, Dubya again.
Grow up. He's your president. Figure out how to support him now, like you did when you last president had thousands of soldiers killed for no good reason or just focus your efforts on the next election. Get over people like Rush Limbaugh and silly TV personalities. They're making money off you. Pay attention to what surrounds you.
He is my president and I respect the OFFICE, not necessarily who sits in it. The President works for the PEOPLE and his job is to protect and defend the constitution, not to find ways to do end runs around it. When are we allowed to be mad about the troop surge in Afghanistan? How high does the death toll have to be before we can say "NO BLOOD FOR OPIUM?"
Ugh!
*Rant over.*
"Think of the children". If he was so concerned about the children, there wouldn't have been a stimulus package, or a 33% increase in government employment, nor would there be ANY CZARS. 
sst:Bush 41 did this too... and caught hell for it.
