The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

[scaeagles]

I don't trust Obama in the least. I can't tell you in advance what I would object to because I haven't heard it. It depends on what he says. My younger childern wouldn't necessarily get certain nuances that could certainly exist in what he says.

What I object to specifically about what the department of ed sent out is the proposal that students write essays about how they can help Obama. That's creepy. Like I said, I don't object to it if my younger children listen to it, but I want to be there so I can discuss with them any problems that I have with it. Something tells me if after the Iraq invasion Bush addressed school children and about whatever and the department of ed sent this out the left would be absolutely howling. And rightfully so.

Oh. I thought you were actually going to share the literature (or a link to the literature) from the Department of Ed instead of rambling on. But the outrage then lack of proof is par for the course. I believe someone (GD? JW?) is waiting for a breakdown about issues you had with someone. Can't remember who or what now but I've seen them ask for it and you state you're too busy to provide it.

You also didn't answer my question about how you are going to discuss it with them. To make it easy for you:

Would you explain to them why you object or just tell them that Obama is evil and damaging our country beyond repair and they should think that way too.

I'm sure that people would object to Bush speaking and my reaction would be the same as it is now.

Whatever happened to "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country".

I totally agree with you. Last night, during The Boy's BTS night, I made sure that his school would NOT be showing this speech. If his school had decided to show it, he would not be going to school on Tuesday.

If it was just the speech, I would still object, but he would go to school. When I read about the stuff that is being sent out with the speech, I got upset.

I don't get into the political side of things very often. I do NOT think Obama is a good president. I did not vote for him. He is over stepping his power every chance he gets.

The crap he has pulled with his "Stimulus" package, and how it is affecting my parents and other retirerees is horrid.

I am ready for him to go now.
