Absolutely, and that's the thing isn't it - many of these are parents with kids.

Although, I prefer Cooper in soft porn mode(volume @ zero, no idea what this is really trying to say):

I think translated she's singing, 'This guy's a narcissistic jerk-off'

Anyway...

What Politico have gleaned from "top aides" - what Obama will say in his address.

A preview to the preview, if you will. (The anticipation on this one is white hot!)

He's still got time to slip in some subliminal socialist mantra calling for the destruction of all whites.

Re: Strange anger at Obama for Tuesday speech to schools
When I was young, my family lived in Indonesia for a few years, and my mother didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school. So she decided to teach me at 4:30 in the morning.


Get your homework done, and don’t spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with that Xbox. I’ve talked a lot about your government’s responsibility for turning around schools that aren’t working. None of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities. Unless you show up to those schools; pay attention to those adults; and put in the hard work it takes.

Every single one of you has something to offer and you have a responsibility to discover what that is. You could be a mayor or a Senator or a Supreme Court Justice, but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country.
You’ll need science and math to cure AIDS. If you don’t do that – you’re quitting on your country like my father quit on my family when I was two years old. I did some things I’m not proud of, and got in more trouble than I should have.
I got a lot of second chances.

That’s what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.
Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas. Jazmin didn’t speak English when she first started school. I’m calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education – and to do everything you can to meet them. Maybe you’ll decide to take better care of yourself so we can keep people from getting the flu. I want you to commit to it. I want you to really work at it.

Sometimes, you get the sense from TV that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star, when chances are, you’re not going to be any of those things. But the truth is, you won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time.
Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures. And even when you’re struggling, even when you’re discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you – don’t ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country. The story of America is about people who loved their country too much to do anything less.

It’s the story of students who went on to wage a revolution. So today, I want to ask you, what’s your contribution going to be? You’ve got to do your part so I expect you to get serious this year. Don’t let us down – don’t let your country down. Make us all proud. God bless you, and God bless America.

Re: Strange anger at Obama for Tuesday speech to schools
Just sent the link to the text of the speech to that dumb-ass who sent me the facebook message. Here's what I wrote to him:


Hey Richard. In case you haven't read it yet, here's the text of Obama's speech to schools tomorrow:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/MediaResou...SchoolRemarks/

In it, you'll find such controversial remarks as: ''I can't understand for the life of me what's so great about being stupid,'' and ''block out the kids who think it's not cool to be smart'' and ''work harder, learn more.'' Oh wait - sorry - those are quotes from a speech George H.W. Bush made to school kids back in 1991. Although I'm sure you must have been outraged by that too.

Okay, HERE'S a controversial quote from Obama's speech: ''Presidents don't often get the chance to talk directly to students, so today, for each of you sitting in a classroom or assembly hall, this message goes straight to you. Most of you are doing the right thing. But for those of you who let drugs make their decisions for them, you can almost hear the doors slamming shut.'' Oops! Sorry! My bad again. That's from a different speech George H.W. Bush made directly to students back in 1989. Okay, here's one from Obama's speech: "Today, to a degree never before seen in human history, one nation, the United States, has become the model to be followed and imitated by the rest of the world. But America's world leadership goes well beyond the tide toward democracy. We also find that more countries than ever before are following America's revolutionary economic message of free enterprise, low taxes, and open world trade." Damn. That's actually from a speech Reagan made to school kids in November of 1988 where he was pushing his policy positions regarding taxes on them. Wow. All these Presidential speeches to school kids to choose from!

Okay, no kidding around this time. Here's an honest quote from the actual Obama speech. "...at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the world – and none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities. Unless you show up to those schools; pay attention to those teachers; listen to your parents, grandparents and other adults; and put in the hard work it takes to succeed." That is indeed from Obama's speech. I invite you to highlight any other quotes you find that are worthy of the alarm that you and others have worked so hard to spread across the country. Because I'm having a real hard time understanding what it is we're supposed to be so outraged about.


I'm hoping he'll write back

But can you imagine his son saying any of those things?

Re: Strange anger at Obama for Tuesday speech to schools
This whole uproar screams racism to me. Are people afraid of having their kids talked down to by a black man?
