It's an OUTRAGE!
Since President Obama spoke those unwisely–chosen words, our poor American children have:
- Google–searched how to become a Communist on the internet
- Joined the listserv mailing list of the Socialist Party website
- Made images of the President as wallpaper for their home and school computers
- Asked their parents for cosmetic surgery to enlarge their ears
- Insisted they go to summer camp in Jakarta
- Sent Build–a–Bear gift certificates to Sasha and Malia
- Sought out and made friends with bi–racial people
- Memorized every word of Dreams from My Father and are reading The Audacity of Hope to toddlers on the playgrounds
- Ruined their pillow cases by sleeping with inkjet printouts of the President’s picture underneath
- Downloaded Reverend Wright speeches on their iPods.
- Shouted “Fired Up/Ready to Go!” in the school halls instead of reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.
I told you this would happen! President Obama is a danger! The children will believe every word he says! His smile will make the kids like him!
And the worst part: children of people who oppose the President will realize their parents could be wrong!
Here’s an excerpt from this speech of indoctrination, full text on whitehouse.gov:
Wait, there’s more:
Can you believe he said the below quote out–loud?
And look at this bold–faced lie:
So, now that he had the students’ undivided attention — did you see the swooning, the enraptured faces — he moved in for the kill:
And the worst part: children of people who oppose the President will realize their parents could be wrong!
Here’s an excerpt from this speech of indoctrination, full text on whitehouse.gov:
“When I was young, my family lived in Indonesia for a few years, and my mother didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday — at 4:30 in the morning.
“Now I wasn’t too happy about getting up that early. A lot of times, I’d fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever I’d complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and say, ‘this is no picnic for me either, buster.’”
Wait, there’s more:
“Every single one of you has something you’re good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That’s the opportunity an education can provide.”
Can you believe he said the below quote out–loud?
“I know that sometimes, you get the sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work — that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star, when chances are, you’re not going to be any of those things. But the truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject you study. You won’t click with every teacher. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right this minute. And you won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.
“That’s OK. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures.”
And look at this bold–faced lie:
“And no matter what you want to do with your life — I guarantee that you’ll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You’re going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. You can’t drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You’ve got to work for it and train for it and learn for it.”
So, now that he had the students’ undivided attention — did you see the swooning, the enraptured faces — he moved in for the kill:
“The story of America isn’t about people who quit when things got tough. It’s about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best… So today, I want to ask you, what’s your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a president who comes here in twenty or fifty or one hundred years say about what all of you did for this country?”
Now, wipe the shocked looks off your faces.
CALM DOWN.
The world is still spinning on its axis.
Pigs did not sprout wings and go airborne, and hell is still sizzling below.
None of the above repercussions occurred. The US government still runs under the Constitution.
And the best part: children of people who oppose the President may realize their parents possibly could be wrong!
But that is not the end of the world. It should be okay to disagree; love of a child should not depend on whether they agree with their parents on politics.

How insecure can people be?
How secure can an opinion be if one is afraid of even hearing an opposing view?
Actually it’s a GOOD THING to learn about the opposing view. That will result in the formation of a better argument on your side!
It was a great speech. Those who saw it in person will take those inspiring words to heart and never forget it.
Those children who saw it on television monitors were mightily moved by it… at least until the lunch bell rang.
