Obama to address "schoochildren" [sic]

Ok, I suppose I have no problems with the actual speech.

There's no references to socialism or negro-lovin' or Allah or anything! :teach:


Seriously, I want someone to explain what they thought he was going to say to them that was so bad.

He was going to launch mind control waves through the television set (or whatever) and turn everyone into devilmuslim zombies craving improved and equal quality of life and higher taxes.

Pretty much, yeah.



I'm glad we're here to show the benefits of a free and open society founded on rational discourse to those those poor, silly religious fanatics in Afghanistan.

"But the Conservative Patriots made him re-write his speech!" (Sadly, this is what some of these bozos are going to claim.)

A friend of mine has apparently decided to go off the deep end. She's taken the brainwashing kids idea, added Hitler comparisons, and is now trying to tell me that it's going to be a race war, "black supremacy all over again".


I had to log out, because at that point I was going the headdesk and mocking route.

Good grief, I voted for McCain and still cannot fathom the hatred these people have for Obama.

Presidential broadcasts to schools are hardly a new thing in this country anyway.

It is an entirely new thing -- in the place where America used to be, at any rate -- for the President to deliver an address to an essentially captive audience of the entire school-attending population.

I clearly remember the first Bush doing this when I was in school. We got herded into the cafeteria, and everything. Some work hard/don't do drugs bullshit, I think. It meant not doing math problems for about thirty minutes, so it was cool with me.

He also appeared in front of a Saturday morning cartoon special, which at the time meant pretty much the same thing.

He took up valuable airtime that could have been devoted to showing Michelangelo interacting with Alf.

Are you by any chance referring to this monstrosity?

Oh for fuck's sake. He said what every other president says: work hard, don't do drugs, blahblahblah. So much outrage over something so predictable.

Word. It's a school speech. What could he possibly say? Deliver your children unto Allah?
