What???? No, no, no! I'm not letting you get away with that! You NEVER let me get away with pointing at anything, no matter how related, that happened in the past with different administrations hen people would rag on Bush (and as a reminder, I agreed with some of the ragging). And the absolutely hysterical thing is that this has NOTHING to do with Obama. It has to do with a stupid teacher and administration at the school in question. Talk about manufactured outrage. You don't talk about the point of the criticism, you talk about how people don't like Obama. Please tell me where I criticized Obama in any post about that song at that school.

I have not even bgeun to criticize Obama.

Kids are allowed to opt out of the pledge.

Yes. My kids go to private school, but isn't that kind of like me suggesting to you that you don't live in poverty so why are you concerned about those that do?
