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: http://tinyurl.com/l5zqje |

My guess is that he'll bore em to death. |

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. |

Until Obama agreed to release his speech and then did so, you had no idea his speech would not be "political" according to your definition but you did not object to any speech he would make before the release, isnt this kinda hypocritical? |

... Imagine how much greatness can be accomplished if it doesn't matter who gets the credit. Exactly right.... Imagine... Imagine there's no Heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You may say that I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world You may say that I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one -- Nom=de=Plume |

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... Or you could just buck up and tell us if you really heard those speeches, or if you are relying on some Pundit's interpretation? That would be the straight up thing to do here, if in fact you didn't hear them. If you really didn't hear the original speeches, some google search for quotes and cuts won't really mean much in the context of you stating plainly that those speeches were political which would lead us to believe you had previous knowledge... -- Wafa free since 2009 |
