The Obama Speech to Students: The Inside Story -- Politics Daily »
Posted By epiphannyy 2 months, 3 weeks ago in News
One day last July, several staffers from the White House and Department of Education -- folks in the public policy and communication shops-- were kicking around ideas for a back-to-school event for President Obama.
They talked about Obama giving a back-to-school speech from a Washington area public school right after Labor Day -- a talk to students on a theme he has addressed many times before: personal responsibility. The speech was never intended to be about public policy, but rather some standard stuff -- work hard, stay in school, you get the drift.

Finally, a level-headed critique of the mess this whole fake controversy has become..but to see the still irrational justifications made in the comments below the article proves it's not enough to break through the fog of ignorance so many are clinging to.

You're not too deep of a thinker are you? If Obama's popularity numbers are down who do you suppose is unhappy with him? It's the people who voted him in. Lets face it, he wasn't popular with your type in the first place so he couldn't lose what he didn't have. What does this mean? Put simply the people of this country are not becoming enamored with the Republican Party again. We're unhappy with our own because they don't seem to be doing what they were elected to do. It's because he seems to be taking **** from the pugs. In other words he moved to the center and we don't support that move. I hope this is a little more understandable to you now.

If I were a pug I'd be really worried about the next election.
