Just A Thought

Am I in the Twilight Zone? Why is Conservative America in an uproar over President Obama's scheduled address to grade school children? Since when does The White House have to "pitch" the idea of a presidential address to the nation's schools? Really? The president has taken time out of his schedule to address a bunch of kids who can't even vote about the importance of working hard, staying in school, and becoming active in their communities, and there's a question of the politics behind it? What the hell is wrong with people? No one took to the streets with picket signs and compared him to Hitler when President Bush Sr. addressed schools, nor were people upset about Reagan's school-time address. Why was it all right for President Bush to sit idly by reading a book in a classroom while the Twin Towers were under attack in New York? You have to have some very big balls to even suggest the need to "review" his address before deciding if it's sensible enough to show to kids. He’s the President of the United States for Christ sake! Why are we even giving these people airtime? Whether he wants to address schools, churches, or Port-o-potties, it should be his prerogative. The blatant disrespect of this president and his administration should not be tolerated and has gone on for far to long. Quite simply the vitriol of racism, homophobia and bigotry from these people has got to be stopped.
