No President Left Behind

No! Obama Stay Behind!

Reagan did it in 1989. Bush did it in 1991.

So, why is there such great controversy over Obama doing it in 2009?

President Obama is scheduled to address the nation’s school children on what will be the first day of school for a majority of students and families within our nation. Reportedly, the focus of his message, as president of our nation, will be to emphasize the importance of education and encourage our students to stay in school. Obama’s words will most likely echo the impact that education has had within his own life, as he has reached a destiny that only forty-three other Americans within our nation have achieved.

The question that should be posed is why are so many individuals are exhibiting such extreme levels of hostility, opposition, and just downright disrespect for President Obama’s efforts to acknowledge, motivate, and empower our children within the public school system?
