President webcasts to all the schoolkids....

Thanks Platapus.

Honestly, I have no issue here. Sure there are a few snippets on "policy" such as "how are you going to protect the environment" if you too dumb to graduate high school. But then again - he used the same logic with creating jobs. While I as an adult would question how a kid is supposed to do that with small businesses taxed to death, thats not somthing a kid is going to think of, so its a wash and I can see past it.

Overall, a decent speech that might make a few kids work a little harder, even if just for a few days. That's cool by me.

Sorry but I'm not reading through this thread. Could someone post a link to what Obama said, thank you.

edit. Oh he hasn't spoken yet. D'oh!

Is this thread for real?

Wait, it's satire, ....yes?

Agreed. Good speech, I hope it helps some who need it. He's the President, he's entitled to speak to the students in public schools, just like Reagan did.

I read the speech. It was just fine IMO. Much to do about nothing over the whole thing. Life moves on.

I have to wonder is it nothing because the speech was always harmless or is it that way because they saw the way the wind was blowing and changed it to be harmless?

I would bet on the first option, while he is a politician, he is not retarded.

Question is, where is the original speech? What was the verbiage? I have not seen anything remotely original showing this was a smoke and mirrors speech. To me it was all made up and or blown completely out of proportion.

One thing not to forget is, that this actually might be the original speech, and they waited on purpose that long to publish it to make all those that objected or questioned it, look foolish.

I think it was the original speech. Really, some were saying he would start with the plege of allegience to him. Come on people, get off the rock. It would take a very large set of balls to do that and then press on about healthcare to numerous school kids. Granted a lot do not trust Obama but quite a few claims about this speech boarded on insanity.
