Arnold Horshack was my favorite... Though, why the hell does Obama think he needs to give our elementary school kids a lesson? Shouldn't he be running a nation and leave the teaching to the teachers?

What do think?

I think he's becoming a bigger douche by the minute, and I get to say that because I didn't vote for him... I held my tongue through Bush's second term. But at this rate, Obama won't have a second term.

ITT Japher shows that he doesn't know what "photo-ops" means.

Reagan and Bush the First both gave classroom addresses, and both used the opportunity to push their political agendas.

I was not old enough at the time to remember whether or not there was an uproar on the left about that.

"A Cowboy President?????This is still America!"

Yes, and Democrats complained about it at the time. As such, I don't see why Republicans shouldn't have the right to complain about Obama's speech now.

[pageup85]

Didn't Bush read children's books rather than respond to 9/11?

Yeah, and it was stupid to attack him for that too(at the time only one plane had crashed and he had just been informed, it could have been a horrible accident, for all we knew).

Outrage for Obama speaking to school kids to work hard and stay in school is utterly retarded. I mean, Dubya did the same damned thing!

Yeah, the retards are claiming Obama is trying to indoctrinate children as if he's the first President to tell kids to work hard in school and not to drop out.

[embefuri]

Yeah, the retards are claiming Obama is trying to indoctrinate children as if he's the first President to tell kids to work hard in school and not to drop out. It takes him an hour to say all that? Man, who's riding the short bus today?

[UpperMan]

Also, this:

If Obama had done the same no one would have cared.

is just laughable on its face.

[Smalmslobby]

They've got nothing else to report on since Congress is still not in session and there are no big disasters or international news. Still, even when there is real news the Republican noise machine seems to always be able to saturate the air waves with their utter nonsense.

[Noxassope]

Really? Have you read Reagan's speech?

Great link.

Perhaps you'd like to point something out that you feel is pushing his agenda other than his pride in America.

[herbalviagra]

Obama is declaring a day off from school and it's republicans filling the airwaves?

A day off from school.

He should do this once a month, at minimum.

Are you seriously this stupid to not see anything overtly political in the speech? Seriously?

Can you not read, did you not read, or are you exceptionally retarded?

I read it, and it's a non-partisan speech. Well, unless being for democracy and against totalitarianism are "partisan" issues in your country of choice.

How about the content of Obama's speech? Where is it?

[NofFoomiTot]

Same old Asher. Whats the matter dearie, is it that time of the month for you? Perhaps you've been aggravating those hemorrhoids more than usual?

I've always had an incredibly low tolerance of stupidity. You, of all people, have experienced that with alarming regularity.

[EmpaccalGah]

Spending an hour of class time and giving teachers lesson plans? Can you spell indoctrination?

Don't you have your own country to worry about?

[RgtrsKfR]

Bobby Kennedy would have been a good prez.

[blackjackblax]

Don't you have your own country to worry about? Yeah, I do, it's called 'America'.

[mashabox]

the US was HARDLY for open world trade. Protectionist tariffs were passed over and over again. Well of course. Occasionally it has been ruled by the tribe called 'democrats'.

[DEMassteers]

It's true. Obama's speech is partisan indoctrination. Staying in school (through grad school) makes one likely to vote Democratic.
