Assessing Obama's Speech to Schoolkids

[motorolarules]

@MikeLV

YOU, are not going to have a job long if that is what you think you are going to teach. Unless you are home schooling

[RodCornholio]

Outstandingly good video.

[lifeispeachy91]

whats the point man honestly we're a 70% consumerist economy we dont make shit we just consume other ppls stuff work hard for what ? to go into debt lose your home on a loan the fed created to keep you in slavery yea ill pass dood plus public schools are just soft reeducation camps now

[Aboywithglasses]

Where do these people find the courage to defend such dumb positions? Obama's life IS inspirational and he MUST tell children about it. Is becoming President of the U.S. growing up with a single mother not an inspirational story for so many young kids in America? Oh yeah, I forgot, you're still taking George W. Bush as an example: a rich kid who never had to sweat for he knew he'd go to college and then pursue a political career, because that's what his dad had planned out for him.

[VictoryCough]

When are you going to stop it with the Bush shit?

[posullvn]

His life story is inspiring you idiot. He holds the most influential position in the nation, why would someone not want him to use that to inspire children to make the best of their education? This situation has been blown way out of context and the guys speaking in this video should be embarassed by what they are saying.

[devauntai1]

this whole video is bullshit dude i mean come on a speech on hard work is bad gosh shut up!

[uche007us]

I have to call bullshit on this whole video. Our principal in highschool always got a motivational speaker to speak to us on the 1st day and it never affected anyones education.

I dont like Obama or his policies but whats wrong with him giving a speech to the public school students

[XCritonX]

Interesting how all of the OZombies with their blank subservient stare refuse to believe facts. Obama is a liar and your brains have been washed.

Do other politicians lie? Yes they do, most of them. Does it make it right for Obama to lie? No! That is why thinking people world wide want less liars (ie government) in their lives. It doesn't matter as much the type or brand of BS the president slings if he only exercises the very limited power the constitution allows him to have.

[Aboywithglasses]

All you are able to say is that he lies. Why don't you bring us some actual lies he's given so that we can discuss about it?

[Betty5150]

Real lies that Obama has given? Ok, how about Iraq? He quickly shifted his idea from what was it, 3 months, to 3 years? Ok. I'll buy that. He know's well, that he could of pulled out of Iraq with in 3 months, and it would have been the right thing. Then there's him being a what was it, constitutional student? That's either a blatant lie or a major contradiction, since he supported and voted for the Patriot act.

Obama is a politician. Politicians do lie.

[KingRobbStark]

Obama is really a closet retard.

[TheSteelGeneral]

good thing mikelv is NOT a teacher AT ALL but an unemployed poor white trash bag.

[scott01019]

Obama's speech to the students was probably the greatest speech ever given by any politician. The speech was not about anything political and was purely to motivate and inspire students to believe in themselves and never give up; anyone who had a problem with the speech itself is fucking retarded. It is disappointing that Cato would post anything attacking such a speech as it is a sad reflection that Cato is becoming more interested in attacking liberals than actually standing for what is right.

[WadabawSleeve]

what would be RIGHT is for children to realize that a politician is nothing but a snake oil salesman with a gun.

[XCritonX]

Government brainwashing propaganda is always presented by the rulers as harmless. From Hitler to Stalin to Chavez to Obama they always know that a direct attack will be deflected. So they create sideways attacks on freedom that are proposed as "for your own good". Is it really such a bad thing? Its just a little mental poison. It wont hurt much. Its good for you!

Beware the thin wedge of the would be dictators!

[TheSteelGeneral]

Government brainwashing propaganda??? Like the one Bush gave?? of the WMD?? Still haven't been found. From David Vitter to glen beck to bush to Cheney, they all have DEMONSTRABLY LIED!!!

and the only thing repuKKKes can go on about is Obama mispeaking 58 states for 48 states. Something which he cleared up the next day. Which they NEVER tell you about.

[noformstyle]

Feedback of this speech should be from students, they are the audience...

[noformstyle]

One hour in a lifetime to listen to the President to work hard in school and life, is that a bad thing? Kids in this country are lagging in school period.. Look at the population in the major university, they are all foreigners...

[ZankDigiTrash]

that's not his job as president

he should mind his own business first

what's his business again???

[freedominsomalia]

very professional

[Zarbon66]

Youtube is often called a cese pool, that's because five year old and Republicans use it a lot to announce publicly that they are gay.

[2xsf]

With what little of The Constitution is left after the Bush years, I hope you have a moonlighting job.

[VisitingXenoc133]

If I were president I would just post a 5 second message on Youtube; "Education is good, stay in school, now go away."

[TheSteelGeneral]

it's so nice that repubs demonstrate why they LOST the election ......

[alexd444]

good thing you're not an english teacher

[F3dB3aR]

This is complete nonsense....right-wing media and think tanks are always up in arms about anything democrats do....shut up, why dont you!

[CountArtha]

Cato was just as highly critical of the Bush administration.

[TheSteelGeneral]

HA HA HA

[TheSteelGeneral]

wow, repubes are sooooooooo gullible, i guess you really believe that. Gimme an example of their criticisms of bush then. A video please. you can't. Because they licked his arse.

[CountArtha]

Watch anything with Dan Mitchell. He has nothing good to say about Bush's spending habits.

[CountArtha]

Oh, never mind - I read your other posts and you're a troll looking for trouble.

[TheSteelGeneral]

and that shows how lazy you are. calling me a troll does not dissolve your need to show how the Cato institute has been critical of Bush. For every Dan Mitchell Cato had 5 bush ass kissers, and you know it.

but gimme a link, make me laugh.

[dachickenman]

Not true.

[a4finger]

good video

[MooseOfReason]

At least Republicans didn't hold hearings like Democrats did when George H.W. Bush made a speech to schoolchildren.

[nilesmc]

If you haven't yet, you need to watch Peg Liksik, John Taylor Gatto & Charlotte Iserbyt on youtube.

The 'schools' are designed to pigeon-hole Americans. The 'schools' aren't failing, they have dumbed America down as planned.

[Pvtjamesryan2]

Obama almost broke out laughing while he spoke.....I can not comprehend how anyone can find Obama to be sincere about anything he says.

This speech was not even written by him. He's reading someone else's speech from a teleprompter. Every speech is from a teleprompter. Which tells me he is false.

True people speak from the heart.

[Kestra84]

Oh please. Every President for the past century has employed speech writers, and most modern presidents have used teleprompters. Criticize what he says, not how he says it.

[Pvtjamesryan2]

Kestra84

You want me to criticize the words of his speech writer?

LOL

[TheSteelGeneral]

we want you to not to be such a hypocrite. Bush NEVER even wrote ANY speech. Obama writes MOST of his speeches.

[KingRobbStark]

No he doesn't, why do you think he has teleprompters every where he goes?

[TheSteelGeneral]

I really love this!!! You think that using teleprompters prevents someone from writing their own speeches!!!!!!??!?!?!!!!

Wow!!! I salute the level of your stupidity, its HUGE!!!!!

[KingRobbStark]

You are living proof that manure can grow legs and walk. I never implied anything, you brainless turd. I base my assumption on the fact that if you compare his speeches to the one's presented to the school children and his Q/A sessions the gap of intelligence between is significant.

[TheSteelGeneral]

total bull shit. you didn't do anything of the sort, you didn't mention this gap AT ALL.

You implied that Obama using teleprompters is PROOF that he doesn't write his own speeches.

At least he doesn't have an earphone in telling him what to say, like bush ....

And I would dare you to give examples of this "gap of intelligence" if it wasn't so obvious you're so STUPID AND A MORON....

You can't distinguish a gap from an Yvy League institution to save your life.

[Scoforever]

Education should remain independent of the federal government. The problem is that most teachers are liberal and unionised. I would support his speech if not for that. Many children were shown an Obama advert in which people pledged to serve the president. HE SERVES YOU, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!

[UberSciFiNerd]

i can vouch for teachers being liberals. they have forced me to watch an inconvenient truth many times and try to teach that the new deal worked..haha

[TheAntiPlato]

Absolutely. Every college class that has a chance to show An Inconvenient Truth does so. And the teaching of economics was clearly liberal and pro socialism. I constantly argue against this bullshit in class and I have been kicked out of classes for it. I was told that I learned nothing for exposing Gore argument as cum hoc ergo propter hoc. I was also kicked out of class for calling out socialism as being contra freedom.

[Obezeballz469]

Keep on fighting brother!

[TheSteelGeneral]

Ooooh you're such a whiney repuKKKe!!! Always complaining and LYING

If you LIE and don't have a truthful point to make, of course, youll get kicked out of school, and rightly so! I hope you get kicked out lots!!

[Obezeballz469]

Sooo I am lieing when I say he tripled the deficit??

Or lying when i say he had a communist (van jones) hand picked to be his green jobs adviser?

Or I am lying when he has John holdren, a self proclaimed eugenicist, as a science adviser?

And liberals assume if you hate Obama you're a Republican/conservative. I am NOT a republican nor democrat.

You need to do some research.

watch
