Obama was supposed to give a harmless talk on how school children should own up their responsibilities and start acting more maturely. According to a White House spokesman (according to CNN):

"The goal of the speech and the lesson plans is to challenge students to work hard, stay in school and dramatically reduce the dropout rate. This isn't a policy speech. It's a speech designed to encourage kids to stay in school."



In other words, this is something Obama is deeply committed for and has spoken about that several times even during his election campaign. But the lunatic right wing has begun to oppose the speech even before it is read out. Why? Because they feel Obama will try to push his "socialist" agenda through children and try to indoctrinate them with this "communist" ideology. Several fringey parents are supposedly calling up their childrens' schools and asking them not to show the online address to the kids. And need I talk about Glenn Beck and Hannity jumping into this?



Anyways, this entire episode reminded me of George Bush's approach to educating the youth of America. Doesn't anyone still remember how remarkably hilarious it was? Well, here's a sampler...
