That is, to write a letter to themselves about what they were going to do for him? Not what they were going to do for THEMSELVES, but for HIM.<br /><br />Notice neither President Bush nor President Reagon included such a hero worship assignment with their speech to our kids.<br /><br />Granted, in the end, that assignment was omitted, but only under duress. However, the fact that it was included in the first place speaks volumes about the original motivation and intent of that speech.<br /><br />Not to mention that our liberal redistribute-the-wealth president didn't believe a word he said about his conservative message of self-reliance. He wants us all dependent on the government for everything.<br /><br />Peace and love and have a wonderful day.<br /><br />(I apologize if this comment posted twice - my finger slipped.)C.C.

What has gotten into people that they are so bitter and angry and lash out so hatefully?<br /><br />I'm not talking about people who just strongly and vocally disagree with others who are just as strong and vocal, who can still be passionate but civil when expressing their views no matter what they are.<br /><br />I'm talking about nuts who bring guns to large political rallies because they "have the right to" and stupid moms who burst into tears and can barely speak when they tell us how troubling it is to them to think about their kids having to listen to a speech from President Obama!<br /><br />I believe, with much sadness, that some of it is racism, some of it is greed, and some of it is just plain stupidity.<br /><br />And, the addled and pathetic who suffer any one or more of those causes for their behavior are crushing the sane, reasonable, and open minded all around them, of every political persuasion and view.Vicky Politonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-25878656336929414122009-09-09T12:48:17.537-04:002009-09-09T12:48:17.537-04:00I agree - how shocking!

He suggests they wash their hands, take care of their appearance and bodies, listen to their parents/grandparents, teachers...understand that just because you don't like a class now doesn't mean it won't have some meaning or use later... TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS! Gods and demons forbid your child be told to do something half the parents in the world can't manage - be self-responsible.<br /><br />Honestly - I wonder how much of the uproar is because of his being black?Kessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01755725208319836135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-52637584733057594522009-09-09T10:17:29.945-04:002009-09-09T10:17:29.945-04:00I listened to the president's speech and thoug...I listened to the president's speech and thought it was great--and I didn't vote for him. However, I have many friends and relatives who weren't sure whether they'd let their kids listen to the speech. <br /><br />It kind of reminds me of when John Kennedy ran for office--everyone was sure because he was Catholic the Pope would be running our country. Of course that was ridiculous.<br /><br />What bothers me the most is the way the media of both parties are so demeaning. I've quit listening to all the mainline news people and radio--all of them should have a lesson on what reporting actually means and not slanting things to make the other side (which ever that side might be) look like a horrible and stupid monster.<br /><br />Marilyn<br />http://fictionforyou.comMarilyn Meredith a.k.a.
