Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsDo you remember the RW outrage in Aug., 2009, when Pres. Obama,
like so many other presidents before him, was scheduled to address US schoolchildren at the start of the school year?
His video address was the standard "work hard, stay in school, study, be good" speech, but the RW totally freaked, and RW parents demanded that their own kids be exempted from bering exposed to it.
I remember a news report in which a mother being interviewed actually choked up and started to cry about how she didn't want her child to be indoctrinated by Obama!
And yet DonnieTwo Scoops can regale boy scouts with stories about sex parties on yachts with the "hottest" people, and tell them not to believe information from the "fake news." He can encourage them to boorishly boo the previous president and a former SoS, senator, and First Lady.
Even apart from the disrespect for the offices, these kids are supposed to be learning respect, decency, honor, and civility, not how to be rude jerks.

(14,565 posts)that they get to mold "reality" to their deranged fantasies, BHO's tenure was their mind screwing this country in hyper drive after decades of softening it up with conservative radio and media.
The focus is on 45, but he would never have been POTUS to begin with had republicans not, out of craven partisanship, completely brain washed 33% of the population fully, and another 33% partially.

Many conservatives enraged over Obama school speech

Republican leaders have not shied away from the debate. Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, a possible contender for the GOP's 2012 presidential nomination, said Friday the classroom is no place to show a video address from Obama.
"At a minimum it's disruptive. Number two, it's uninvited. And number three, if people would like to hear his message they can, on a voluntary basis, go to YouTube or some other source and get it. I don't think he needs to force it upon the nation's school children," he told reporters at the Minnesota State fair.
Florida GOP Chairman Jim Greer released a statement this week accusing Obama of using taxpayer money to "indoctrinate" children.
"As the father of four children, I am absolutely appalled that taxpayer dollars are being used to spread President Obama's socialist ideology," Greer said.

To paraphrase Nancy Reagen, "just don't be like him."
