I did not vote for Obama and still am not sure I'm a fan - I need to see him materially deliver on some of his promises before I can be won over.
However, I do NOT understand why people are so up in arms over his speech to our nation's school children. As a kid, I can remember being enthralled when listening to President Reagan. Kids look up to the president. Why is it a bad thing for kids to get encouragement to be responsible and take their education seriously? I just don't get it.
I'm fairly certain that if the tables were turned, the other side would be in a tizzy. But it all just seems so darn silly, and I do not understand why the controversy has reached a fever pitch. How amusing that we consider ourselves an educated and civilized people. Educated and civilized my ass - the rest of the world is pointing and laughing at our asinine behavior.
