For the curious and those who are not allowing your kids to go to school because the President is speaking tomorrow, here are the prepared remarks from the White House website. After reading it, I’m sure your opinion won’t change because the President will still encourage your student to do well in school and make their mark in society. I personally don’t see the big deal about it and I hope someone reading this post who disagrees will explain to me why they feel the way they do. If it were a Republican president, it wouldn’t both me because my four year old has yet to make up his mind about which political party he’s going to vote for when he becomes of age (slacker). And even more important, I still have time to mold his mind and show him the direction I want him to follow when it comes to politics.

I’m sure Obama is not trying to brainwash your child to become a Democrat. Believe it or not, he’s a positive role model for a lot of young kids around the world. Americans should be happy about the speech because it takes one more excuse away from those intolerant inner-city kids. I applaud the President for not backing down on giving the speech and removing the part that upset his opponents. Who knows, maybe it will inspire some kid to begin his quest to be the President. I’d like to hear what the kids have to say about the speech.
