Sorry if this is a dupe–– I couldn't find it in a search if so...

Just got a note home today from my kids' school to opt out of a speech on Sept 14th, 2010.  I haven't heard ANYTHING about this on the news and can't find anything about it on whitehouse.gov where they love to advertise their exploits....  hmm.... Its says its a new speech and says that its not political yet says that "Debate is a very healthy thing for our nation, and children should understand that there are multiple sides to every issue."  So, seriously––- they think my 2nd and 3rd graders are capable of understanding the multiple sides of political issues?   REALLY?????  

I think I feel a cold coming on...  my kids might be sick next Tuesday....

Send your kids to school have them ask obungo "How are raising taxes supposed to help a weak economy?"

I'd love to see him get stumped by a second grade student.

Sorry- I didn't make it clear- its another televised speech like last year....  I doubt he's smarter than a second grader anyway, so his handlers would make sure no one could ask questions even if it were in person...

I'm sure he will have a couple kids there to ask carefully scripted questions that he has answers for already loaded up in the teleprompter to make him look like he is really on top of the whole thing.

Then the kids will be exposed as being nephews of his aides or some shit like that.

Yeah My kids brought home permission slips. So I opted them out of it. My 7 yo dosen't like him anyway and my 5 yo could give a shit.

When I was in grade school.

I don't ever remember being addressed by the President.

Gee, who didn't see this coming when he first did it?





Mmm-mm-mm!

I'd like to know what they plan to do with the nice stack of slips from parents opting kids out of viewing the speech?  

Why not have them opt in?  

That's okay- I'm pretty sure they will enjoy sleeping in that day...

Have them ask, why are you so stupid.

It's wrong to have politicians of any party speaking to minor children without parental supervision. My son will be home playing xbox just like the last time the Muslim in Chief spoke to the students. He's an A student by the way. He'll stay that way with or without political indoctrination.

Yay perpetual campaign!!!

Opted my kid out, she'll end up drawing or something ......................................but not listening to Zero.

1. Why do you blame Bush for deficits that YOU voted "Yes" to while in the Senate?





2. You said unemployment wouldn't rise above 8% if you passed your stimulus. You were wrong. Why should we believe you again?





3. Why can't you admit you were wrong when you predicted that The Surge in Iraq would fail and make things worse, and that you were wrong to vote against it?





4. Why do you take so many vacations and play so much golf?





5. Why did you bow to the Premier of China, the King of Saudi Arabia, the emperor of Japan and the Mayor of Tampa Florida, yet constantly look down your nose at common Americans?





6. How did your wife and Han Solo first meet?





7. Why haven't you closed Gitmo yet, like you promised you would?





8. Why do you call yourself a "mutt" and a "mongrel", then complain about imaginary opponents referring to you as a dog?





9. Why do you let Mexican Drug Cartels continue flooding into the country so that your own BLM has to close down control entire regions of Arizona because of Mexican invaders - and then only send 30 National Guard "observers" there three months after you promised we'd have over a thousand Guard troops sent?





10. Why is killing a baby better than being pregnant for 9 months?
 

Winner

where's my LIKE button???  so in arfcom style, I'll just say :  THIS  


ETA:  and apparently my quote button doesn't work either....   (meant in reference to The_Macalan's list of good questions...)

Wonder how much money it'd cost to get a bunch of kid's sized Gadsden flag t-shirts for the day of the speech.

I wonder who actually runs the country since Obama seems to be giving speeches all the time.

pretty sure its still Hilary- just like the last time she was president....

Last year our district opted out of it.  They figured kids would get more benefit following the teachers' lessons plans than listening to the President stump some more.  They did post it on the district's website so anyone interested could watch it with their children.

I doubt this very much.  Clinton may have done some stupid stuff, but his Presidency was no where close to the Obama administration.
