If your child is incapable of handling a 20-minute haranguing from a self-important public servant, he will be tragically unprepared for the new world. (Whom do you think he will be dealing with when he needs that hip replacement in 60 years?)
Even if you oppose the president on a political level, it is empirically evident that the more one hears his homilies the less inclined one is to trust him. And Obama's penchants to lecture us endlessly, to be the center of attention endlessly and to saturate the airwaves and national conversation are clear indications that he believes government is the answer to every societal, religious, economic and cultural question we face. Why should your kids be immune?
Was it not the president's calm hand that guided a rattled nation through the shocking racial unrest in Cambridge, Mass., recently? Was it not this man whose decency enabled us to lift our collective head after the dark days of capitalist tyranny? And was it not this president who apologized to a slighted and misunderstood Muslim world (twice) for our sins?
Why should we deny that he can elevate our schoolchildren from the abyss so they finally, after decades of neglect, can learn again? And who better to dictate the lesson plan than the president's secretary of education, Arne Duncan, a man who left Chicago's school district with a meager 40 percent dropout rate?
Honestly, if I'm going to be badgered and browbeaten by the president every day, kids should suffer a bit, as well. The president has been treating the American people like schoolchildren for more than seven months -- with another "major address" on health care coming right after he talks to the kids.
When my own brood comes home next week, I'll explain that in this remarkable nation, anyone can become president -- though I hope they'll choose something more constructive -- and that daddies often hope the president fails. I even may help them with their homework:
Q: "What do you think the president wants us to do?" Nationalize health care?
Q: "Does the speech make you want to do anything?" Write a column.
Q: "Are we able to do what President Obama is asking of us?" God, I hope not.
This is hilarious (in a scary way), JTF, but I'm still spending the next three days spreading the word about Tuesday being a "Red, White, and Blue Flu Day"!

Ignore the fact that he is using lawyers to hide his paper trail, and is probably ineligible to be president.
Q: "Does the speech make you want to do anything?" Projectile vomit.
Q: "Are we able to do what President Obama is asking of us?"
No, Birthers/Constitutionalists will beat these drums until Obama is drummed out of office!

This article cracks me up. Hmg - I really like your daughter. lol
We learned during the primary just how brain washed some kids had already been by their teachers. Remember all the pro-Obama stuff taking place at many American schools. I remember several specific cases of teachers openly calling for the children to campaign for Obama. I remember reading about kids singled out and reprimanded by the teacher for speaking out for other candidates. Allowing the youngest generation to be indoctrinated or led to believe that they have a duty to help any single national figure is an insult to all the freedoms and rights this country was founded to ensure. Our nation's children should be taught to think for themselves, to challenge their leaders, to question, to strive to be better Americans - NOT - to be loyal to any person, but to their country. To work to help - NOT a specific political figure - but their country.
If Obama wants to really help Americas kids, he can start by working to see that they are taught from a non-political, non-biased perspective. The radical left has done an excellent job of ensuring that today's college students are fully immersed in their socialist views. We don't need to allow the same thing to happen in public schools.
BTW - does the narcissist not have enough to do without taking yet another opportunity to campaign - to kids, no less? Has the adoration slowed down to the point that he now needs to cultivate a new group of worshipers? OMG - I am so sick of this entitled, self-absorbed pos.

My niece informed me that she plans to take a long bathroom break if they try to make her watch 0 in school. She said that's what she did on inauguration day. But Tuesday is the first day of school in her district and it's also her first day of middle school. You'd think they'd be too busy to watch 0, what with all the 6th graders getting lost and not knowing how to open their lockers.
HMG, if your daughter does write that letter, do you think she would agree to share it with us here at HW? I know I would love to read it!
