Obama speech that I had my 10-yr old son watch today. Highly recommend.

Watching this speech given to school children in '09 is motivating and inspiring, but it also (sadly) shows just how horrible it is that our kids will no longer have a president who is a role model.

My 5th grade son was rapt with attention watching this today. If you have any kids in school, then let them watch it themselves - and ask them what they think of it afterwards.



Let's not let our children get sucked into the hatred and selfishness of Trumpers. I won't even let mine watch Trump.

to Trump or his appalling message. Maybe we can use Trump as a cautionary tale about the corrosive effects of greed and dishonesty, since he is thoroughly unfit to serve as a role model.
