i don't think you quite get the controversy over it, the republicans are worried about it because Obama has been losing his approval rating so he's using the optional ''assignment'' after the speech which is where he brings kids into the politics which is definitely not right.
Jeff Schneider: "I don't want my child raised to be a little community organizer."
LOL. He's a cafe-owner, a barista - a *chaiwalla* for Pete's sake.
The best part is how all of these so-called conservative's kids are going to watch the speech on YouTube anyway, after which they will think about how overblown, paranoid, hypocritical, and unnecessarily right-wing their parents are acting.
I think really what some of us want is to be able to decide who are children will be brain washed by and with what. We don't want them to be able to use critical thinking, to be able to think on their own.
Reagan and George H. W. Bush spoke to the kids. Bush asked the kids to write about how to help him. There was no controversy. This is all conservative hypocrisy.
I don't see the big deal in the President inspiring and encouraging our youth. What's wrong with him being a role model? It wasn't a big deal when the Bush's or Reagan made the speeches. Of course they were white, AND I'M SURE this has nothing to do with it. Face it people, it could be worse. Hugo Chavez could be the one doing the speech, but he's not. This country becomes more and more sensitive on stupid shit. It's fucking ridiculous!
To quote Dick Gephardt (D-Mo.), former House Majority Leader, "The Department of Education should not be producing paid political advertising for the president, it should be helping us to produce smarter students."
I cannot understand why people would object to President Obama speaking to schoolchildren, but I can see why people would not want them listening to Reagan or Bush.
I find it pretty sad that American school children, in American schools should be precluded from watching their President make a national address. Are the Republicans really that paranoid? I guess since the demise of Sarah Palin, they really "Got Nothin'".
very true. also it sounds like the parents are asking not to motivate their children, to work harder in school. Obama is only trying to get the kids to start studying.

Obama DOES NOT represent the BLACK COMMUNITY so how can it be racist. Obama is very pro Zionism as his orders derived from them. They plan on scoialising America, that means BLACKS pitted against 30 MILLION ILLEGALS given citizenship, then another 30 MILLION will fill their non tax paying places... Obama is Anti-Christian too and wants to destroy the heart that make America the best nation in the world.
I don't mean for this to sounds racist but is it odd that only african american students were interviewed on here?

Hey Obama.
We're two years and one month into a deep recession.
Politicians have committed our military to fight three wars -- Iraq, Afghanistan and incursions into Pakistan -- and our guys are getting killed.
Don't you have serious tasks to take care of as "leader of the free world"?
What are you doing, Obama, wasting your time lecturing to kids, most of whom will tune out what you say because you're an adult?
Get it together Obama. You're embarrassing yourself.

You amuse, frellthat.
First, drop the word "actually" from your writing. It weakens your expression.
Second, recognized that I am not engaged in ongoing action. Thus, try this, "You've criticized the President ...".
Perhaps Obama should encourage you to study remedial English so that you can learn to express yourself properly on YT.
