Obama's Speech to the Children of the United States.

[pariann]

I think you're projecting your lack of respect onto the entire country.

Like I said, I don't care if the mouth-breathers' kids see it or not.  In fact, I hope they don't and they never get the message or a good education so there are plenty of them around to pump my kids' gas!

Now that's just silly, the President giving a speech encouraging education isn't going to be the only motivating factor for the students.  It's just one of a hundred encouragement speeches they are going to hear over the years from a multitude of people.

But that's not what your fear is.  You ARE afraid that he will be giving a speech on political issues.  You've already said that in a previous post.

I will add that as of right now, 13 isn't aware that this speech will be shown on Tuesday, here it is Friday, and I've not seen any paperwork that I need to sign in order for her to see the broadcast.  I'm wondering where my parental choice is?   Not that I'm going to prevent her from seeing it, I just wonder if it's actually being shown in every school?

I have NO fear what-so-ever, as far as MY kid seeing ANYTHING that the POTUS has to say.....I am like you, I think there should be a consent form issued first....this IS a parental choice...NOT a POTUS choice.

LMAO...so do you also think parents should choose the curriculum in schools?

that is what the PTA is for...to have their input....

But you can argue ALL day long with me..............the POTUS does NOT have ANY right to speak to any kid he want's without their parent's consent.....

No it isn't.

But you can argue ALL day long with me..............the POTUS does NOT have ANY right to speak to any kid he want's without their parent's consent.....

LMFAO!  You're on dope...he's the President Of The United States...he can speak to anyone he wants and he doesn't need your permission.

[Exterminator]

Don, this is NOT a racial thing...

I'm calling bullshit here.  No other politician in the history of this country has spurred such visceral, irrational hatred.  It is absolutely racial.

[Bo D]

This whole mess is just so damned ridiculous.

It's has really reached a low state of affairs when the nuts attack the president over something like this.

[Henry Hawk]

No it isn't.

uh, yeah it is....i know this for a fact....because I went to one where they asked for a vote on a particular curriculum...

LMFAO!  You're on dope...he's the President Of The United States...he can speak to anyone he wants and he doesn't need your permission.

  do you just talk to hear yourself?....let's put it this way....IF the POTUS wants to talk to my kid at school...and I don't want him too, he won't....my kid won't be there....my kid's will be instructed to get up and walk out IF such a tyrannic episode would ever happen.

Absolutely.  Even Joe Scarborough called them out on it when he said, "Seriously, why don't we want the president of the United States, any president of the United States, delivering the message to kids: work hard, stay in school, succeed," adding, "Get your ratings if you want, you're just screwing your political party."

  and you would be wrong....   but that is nothing new...

Do you screen ALL SPEAKERS at your kid's school?

If not, you don't have a dog in this fight.

[Exterminator]

uh, yeah it is....i know this for a fact....because I went to one where they asked for a vote on a particular curriculum...

What, specifically?

  do you just talk to hear yourself?....let's put it this way....IF the POTUS wants to talk to my kid at school...and I don't want him too, he won't....my kid won't be there....my kid's will be instructed to get up and walk out IF such a tyrannic episode would ever happen.

And if he shows up at your kids' school and walks into the classroom, you'd instruct your child to walk out?  You're a helluva parent.   

[Henry Hawk]

Absolutely.  Even Joe Scarborough called them out on it when he said, "Seriously, why don't we want the president of the United States, any president of the United States, delivering the message to kids: work hard, stay in school, succeed," adding, "Get your ratings if you want, you're just screwing your political party." 

and that is what I said from the very beginning...but evidently you don't read do you?..look it up.

[Exterminator]

  and you would be wrong....   but that is nothing new...

Just because you aren't bright enough to understand why you are being manipulated the way you are, doesn't mean it isn't happening.
