talking about the furor over the speech made by President Obama yesterday to
school children across the country.
I've read a transcript of the speech, and you can too at www.whitehouse.gov.
As a Republican, I don't like much of what the Obama administration is doing
to our country. This speech is not the thing we need to get excited about.
All the President was doing was encouraging young people to work hard, and
stay in school. He emphasized that while we can have the best educational
system in the world, it won't do any good if young people aren't prepared to
learn, listen to their teachers, and do their homework. His message to
parents was to get little Johnny and Susie away from the TV and Xbox and
doing their homework.
Let's save our excitement for major issues like health care reform. Even
former First Lady Laura Bush said the speech Mr. Obama gave was harmless.
After reading it, I hope all school children get a chance to hear this
speech.
