School speech flap a troubling sign


School speech flap a troubling sign:

"Obama delivered a perfect back-to-school speech on Tuesday at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Va. — which was broadcast around the nation — challenging students to work hard, to stay in school, and to find their callings in life. He also appealed to their sense of patriotism when he said: “We need every single one of you to develop your talents, skills and intellect so you can help solve our most difficult problems. If you don’t do that — if you quit on school — you’re not just quitting on yourself, you’re quitting on your country.”"
