Stir created by Obama's speech to students is 'a sad time for America' - NJ.com:
"Here we go again.
One side takes what should be a simple presidential pep talk and aggrandizes it into a 'historic moment,' and sends out a 'menu of classroom' activities so teachers across America can bring home the president's message. The other side wraps itself in the flag and accuses the president of trying to brainwash American kids and create a 'cult personality,' as un-American as Mao or Saddam."
How can something so simple get so stupid.
The bigger question is, when will the great masses in the middle say enough is enough.
President Obama will go on TV Tuesday at noon and speak to the nation's school kids. It's what every American president should do, and many have done. His job. As a role model. As national cheerleader. As an example of accomplishment and beacon of optimism.
"Hey, kids! Be like me. Stay in school, work hard and someday you, too, could grow to be president."
