President to speak on importance of education
President Obama is going to give a “controversial” speech to the student population of the United States tomorrow. According to some, it is self aggrandizing. According to others, it is part of Obama’s personal mission to spread and encourage socialism throughout the country. Frankly, most of that sounds like bullshit to me.
It is hard to see what is wrong with someone with so much leadership responsibility using his bully pulpit to tell kids it is important that they should stay in school. If you want to read the prepared remarks of the President to out students, you can find them here.
If you are like most of the kids who are being forced who will be watching the speech, you will find one thing. The damn speech is too long and boring and preachy. The students will be destroying the school twitching with boredom before the President concludes his remarks.
In the interests of Homeland Security time, I have reduced the President’s speech down to a more kid friendly message.
President Barack Obama goes Back to School
some of you are probably wishing it were still summer,
You can’t drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You’ve got to work for it and train for it and learn for it.
And along those lines, I hope you’ll all wash your hands a lot, and stay home from school when you don’t feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.
