I really don't see the problem with that. Is the idea of the president of the United State inspiring children somehow bad, regardless of the party of the president? Whether that be in general (George HW Bush addressed schools and encouraged us to engage in charitable service; what an asshole) or, as appears to be the case from the materials you linked to he is simply trying to inspire them to value education and strive to succeed (god knows he's a horrible example of how educational excellence can help propel you beyond mundane beginnings).

But I'm sure that every fourth frame of the video will flash "Kill Your Parents If They're Republicans."
