Wow. Talk about make something out of nothing and yes, I know the democrats did the a similar things when Bush was president. But, there is a difference with saying you don't agree with it and attacking him, saying he is a socialist or commie. I get tired of what people are doing and calling it "politics". Washington folks are in a big business to keep their asses up there, so they can speak (many times incorrectly) for the people and at the same time keep their prostitutes (lobbyists, big business, and yes even a few women or men...) Hell I think both sides may not even believe what they say but will say it if it keeps them up there with great perks, health benefits, and all the pork they want.
OK, back to the Obama speech to kids. I got tired of hearing it on the news and reading both points of view, so I had a bright idea. Get the information from the actual source and think for myself. Check out details on White House Gov. Man are kids going to be disappointed when they hear him talk about hard work and importance of education and setting goals. The materials listed on the site seem to be very helpful discussion to kids as well. Nothing troubling if you are a democrat, republican, socialist, communist, or martian...
I guess I can expect it out of the politicians but don't really get it from typical American folk.
Presidents have done it in the past and in a time of economic hardship and kids struggling as well why not try to motivate kids to do their best. Obama is not gonna brainwash our kids. Don't the kids see all sorts of stuff on the news, movies, music, and real life that parents may not agree with? This would be a good opportunity for them to print out the 6 min. speech and read it the day before and discuss with their kids what they agree and disagree with. If parents do this then their is nothing to worry about, except for a kid who will grow up and think for themselves....
One day I will wake up and find out in order for our kids to be friends, we will have to be apart of the same political party :)
Hell, many kids sit at home playing Grand Theft Auto where you can steal cars, rape women, and create a gang. Well maybe letting the kids stay home and play that Tuesday would be better. So the kids can learn capitalism from the streets :)

I hadn't heard anything about this (don't have kids...). Doesn't sound controversial at all to me. But I guess extremists/fundamentalists of any dogma can manipulate anything.
