In a chilling turn of events, from the point of view of those who think Obama is overreaching, the Obama administration will give a speech to all school age children next Tuesday, September 8th. Almost half of this country voted against Obama, yet all of its students will be watching Obama’s speech. Hmm. I’m not sure how this will affect private schools and, to be fair, I’m not sure if individual public schools can opt out of this propaganda event.
Would the teachers unions go for this if it was a Republican giving the speech? The Huffington Post and Politico are silent on this topic. Drudge is the only major internet news site to cover this.
Schools have been given a “propaganda manual” for the event. A “Keep Your Kid Home” facebook group has emerged.
Yes, he is the President. The message will be about “staying in school, fool.” The problem is is that nothing Team Obama has done to date has been truly non-partisan.
UPDATE:
The White House has released the text of the President’s speech, it seems innocuous enough. The bottom-line here is the majority of the American people no longer trust the Democrats. The health care debate has severely damaged brand left.
Can the Republicans smartly move forward and grab back congress?
