Personally, I think the president should speak to students in support of
studying and staying in school. What I can't stomach is all the hypocrisy
coming from the White House and Congress. For example:

Well, isn't this interesting:

The controversy over President Obama's speech to the nation's
schoolchildren will likely be over shortly after Obama speaks today at
Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. But when President George
H.W. Bush delivered a similar speech on October 1, 1991, from Alice Deal
Junior High School in Washington DC, the controversy was just beginning.
Democrats, then the majority party in Congress, not only denounced
Bush's speech -- they also ordered the General Accounting Office to
investigate its production and later summoned top Bush administration
officials to Capitol Hill for an extensive hearing on the issue.
/snip

Sure makes a few people here seem pretty uninformed (being nice),
especially the ones who suggested other presidents have not had any
problems addressing students.. Hummmm. Makes you wonder what other
"facts" and justifications they might have just "assumed" without basis
in fact... snerk

If the school drops the stupid worshipful lesson plan, I'd have no
problem with Obama talking to the kids. My guess is that he'll bore
em to death.

Simple, it's all about content. Bush's speech, as well as Reagan's was
LOADED with political speak.

The original Obama lesson plan was loaded with politics too
(supporting the president etc.) and can stil be considerred political
so why the surprise from the Dems? Considering their past reactions,
the reactions to this are fairly mild.

The difference is in CONTENT, plain and simple. Both Bush's and Reagan's
speeches were CLEARLY political in nature. That doesn't seem to bother
you, but Obama's speech clearly talking about success and succeeding,
has you in a twit.

I'm not "in a twit". You Dims act as though you can do no wrong and the Cons
can do no right. The reality is that both factions play a constant game of
trying to destroy each other while the country goes to hell in a hand
basket. Imagine how much greatness can be accomplished if it doesn't matter
who gets the credit.

Please tell us what part of parts of Regan, and Bush's speeches were
political, be specific, and of course from your own interpretation based
on hearing the speeches (which I assume you did based on your
accusation), not some google cut and paste, please. I am very interested
in your answer...

I give the "Cons" most of the credit for destroying this country and
everything good about it.
