i heard he mite add school and extra 3 hours each day includin weekeds WTF that is way to much but this part i agree with i heard he mite make school all year around but we hav 3 week break every semester,5 week summer,2 week spring break and thanksgivin break, and 3 week christmas break that would be fine but 3 hrs extra thing is too much giv that to the kids that need it
A country where you are taxed for working, and paid for not working?? Half of you probably voted for obama just so you wouldn't lose your welfare.
Conservatives didn't kill the economy, the PROGRESSIVES did, with all their crazy spending. And banks giving out loans to poor people that would never be able to repay.
Enjoy your last 3 years with a non-white president though, because i'm sure it will be the last
OOOH NO the PRESIDENT WANTS NATIONAL HEALTH CARE!!!!! THAT IS SO BAD!!!! EVERYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD WE GO TO THE DOCTORS FOR FREE ......YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU DESERVE WHAT YOU GET AFTER YOU REJECT THIS!!!!!!
The President is encouraging your children to work hard and get good grades. Am i the only one who doesn't see a problem with that?!? He isn't trying to control our lives and he isn't 'brainwashing/indoctrinating' us, he is simply giving us the message that EVERY parent, that cares about their child's future, should be giving them! Nothing he said was politically motivated, it was simple encouragement to secure the prosperity of your country! Fools!
Well said!!!! Stupid hick idiots need to go back to school themselves, too stupid to understand, probably never even been to school!!! If they had they would not come out with dum remarks. God help their children. Thankfully the majority of people do not share there views on the matter. Is it any wonder that Americans get slated around the world for being loud mouthed, and ignorant!!!!!! Barack Obama cares about his country, our children and there future, ENOUGH SAID!!!!!!!
Dude. I'm, not a hick, and i make fun of them aswell, but you don't seem to understand that socialism, barack obamas favored government type, is more hick- approved. It makes it so the money is redistrabuted. So that rich peoples money goes to poor people as well. People who like capitalism, mainly conservative (If you even know what that means) want to keep their own money. They aren't hicks. You're probably the mooch that wants their money because you cant work for your own.
For your in formation, I have my own business so you where wrong, Im not a mooch and If helping others that are less fortunate than myself by redistributing some wealth is classed a me being a socialist then yes I suppose I am, and proud of it. Not everyone is a so called Mooch America is far too greedy for its own good!!!!!!!!!! About time you looked out side the box!
lol, we all know the hicks go for a GOP as well as the rich who been free riding during the bush years. If were going to have a government that lawfully taxes us, then I demand benefits as a citizen. If thats socialist, then I'm a socialist.
lol, your just assuming that I'm something I'm not, you can't even come up with a good reponse. Hell, the conservatie killed the ecconmy, they deregualted the market and that's why were in this shit today.,..... The GOP are nothing more then a bunch of uptight hicks.
Brainwashing? This President gets more shit because he is black. I am sure even people within his own party is trying to sabatoge him in any way shape or form, but the sabatoge of course extends beyond his own party. That man is fighting uphill battles and it is so sad to see internalized racism affecting the highest position in the land.
why bother listening? All Barry has ever done is lie. Everything that comes out of his mouth is false. If he was being honest he would have said "White people need to be responsible and help us pay other people (who are not white) to become dependents of the state.
This 'person' is evil. There is no other way to describe it. He is every bit as racist as Strom Thurman was. His people would argue that it is not racism it is 'reverse' racism.
And there isn't one SHRED of evidence that the Govt has done any good with having its hands in education.
Much of what is taught - especially with HISTORY is false in school. It is the version of history THEY the government want us to have drilled in our brains to dumb us down. They try to teach us that the free market is bad and capitalism is bad and they kenyesian economics is good and govt regulation is always good and needed.
Those kenyesian ecomomics ideas are what has fucked up this country NOT Capitalism.. Not real Capitalism. Cronie capitalism is whats fucked it all up. Govt getting involved .. thats the common denomenator. In healthcare, education, food.. foreign policy. You name it.. The constitution NEEDS to be followeed NOT ignored. It's there to RESTRAIN the GOVT.
And btw . under what authority does Obama have to tell kids what to do? NONE Thank you very much!
Yes Obama Kids and all Americans should be responsible for themselves. Exactly! But you go on to say "don't let down your country etc" Let's get something straight Mr President.. with all due respect. WE DON'T BELONG TO YOU! WE THE PEOPLE DO NOT BELONG TO THE STATE. WE DO NOT ANSWER TO THE STATE! WE DO NOT ANSWER TO YOU!
YOU ANSWER TO WE THE PEOPLE! REMEMBER THAT!
Govt should stay out of our lives, our schools , our healthcare ..DON'T TREAD ON ME.
One silver lining about this speech.. With Obama goin on about "responsibility" he can't then come back and push for policies where there is redistribution of wealth because people should as the founders knew -- take care of themselves and be reponsible for themselves, their health, their money.. everything. And the poor will be taken care of in the free market as well. Thats what this country was founded on. Not a fucking welfare state and socialism. So don't go contradicting yourself Obama!
Poor parents who didn't want their childrent to watch our president today.... didn't they consider reverse psychology? Don't they know that when as a parent, you're so against something....kids will want to do it more. I'm happy to know that our president cares enough about our students to make this speech!
We have our guardians to tell us that. None of the presidents need to tell us that. The government does not need to get involved, it's our lives.SOOOO GLAD WE DIDN'T HAVE TO WATCH THIS. Waste of time, when we could be learning.
i didnt get to watch this at my middle school neither but i think i get to watch it tomorrow or something but anyways i think is stupid that people are arguing over THIS u dont want obama to tell children to stay in school???? i really dont get that and parents who didnt want their children to watch this video about him telling kids to stay in school SHAME ON YOU! because he didnt say one thing about polotics so i just dont get it
Impeach? For what? Wanting to give poor people medicine? For thinking that it might be better to spend 11 trillion dollars on health care and education than on oil wars?
"giving medicine to poor people", go into any emergency room and see if you are denied care...we dont need a government take over, we need competition among insurance companies. Education doesnt need any more money, as long as kids have a will to learn they will with the equipment they already have, pouring more money into the educational system wont help...if a kid doesnt want to learn, is more money going to change that?
ok your idea was spending $11 trillion. how do you think that would affect you? we were talking about the poor, there are those that truly need government help, but many should try this thing called a job. My mom is 60years old and is working only to provide insurance for my family, is it fair that she has to work for only that reason? no it isnt but she does because she has dignity and isnt going to live off the government
No, $11 trillion is the public debt right now, almost all of it from Bushes oil war.
Google XOM

Look at their per share prices from 2000 to 2008. Notice something? Bushes oil war made many rich men richer, and plunged this country into debt that it has never seen before.
I pay almost 50% of my income in taxes. Federal income tax. State income tax. Property tax. Sales tax. Vehicle tax. Utility taxes. Just so the rich 1% who control 99% of the wealth can get richer. Fuck that
yes it was all bush, even though the national debt quadrupled after he left office it was still him, Obama's stimulus package, all of the bailouts...yes those were all bush...oh wait those were Obama...yes bush laid the foundation and started building the debt, but Obama took it over and decided to run with it....stop blaming bush for what obama is causing
Mr President, I'm sorry that many children were denied the oportunity to watch this speech. I come from New Lenox Il, and honestly I'm embarassed and ashamed to live here, because this big goup of "Refucklicans" started a riot, and denied myself and my classmates the oportunity to watch this at school. Even though I myself am not a 100% Obama fan I can honestly say this was a wonderful speech, and many of the ignorant parents in my town should've watched this. I can at least say ..........
my president cares about my education, and at least he can connect with the American people unlike Bush. I can honestly say Im' starting to like him more than I did after the election. To all you in New Lenox, except my family, shame on you.
We didn't get to watch this today in school, which is BULLSHIT! The president of the United States is trying to tell us kids something and they tell us we can't watch it. What has this nation come to? I don't care how any of those stupid parents feel about the man, he is our President and I believe that when he talks to the Nation we need to listen.
i agree with you we couldnt watch it at my high school either... i am barak's supporter he wants the children of USA to Work hard in school and help this country ... who cares if the parents didnt know what he was going to say hello he is a parent too ... he's not going to say anything to try to scare the children or teenagers .. I cant believe adults now ...
the our generations i think will change the world...

The problem was not with him speaking to our children. The problem was the agenda on study guide released prior to the speech which had an agenda. Since all this errupted, the guide had been altered. This action speaks for itself. But all in all, i don't think anyone could argue the message that was given today. *clap* This might actually improve his ratings by those that can forget everything this man stands for......
Great speech!!!! with no agenda.. Except to have our kids do good in school. I hope all the parents who fought so hard to get this speech banned in their childrens schools feel really stupid. And to the schools who didnt play this for your students shame on you!!
Stupid fuck liberals. Vote for Obama once, I can forgive you. Vote for Obama again, you're a dumb ass.
