BUT....and I don't disagree with your post, I'm just looking at the other side. Isn't there a valid point to be made about getting children involved in the political process? Teaching them that they CAN make a difference? Truly, I'm really not sure about any of it?
I did NOT vote Obama, so please don't assume I'm a supporter.
The presidential address will take place on Sept. 8. The Obama administration said it is the first time a president delivered a national address directly to school children.

What a reversal.
It seems they make plans, the public balks at them and the administration does a 180.
What a freakin joke!

So now you're complaining because the president is listening to the people???
What a freakin' joke, indeed!
Talk about a no-win situation! Great spin, though!

And how often do you discuss politics with your 6 yr old? Do you screen all his/her reading material??
I ask you in all seriousness, no malice intended!

That's more like it! Thank you for taking the time to explain. I think Pigpen made some very good points too.
My son is in private school. I'm looking forward to see how they respond to my inquiries to their plans.

Your welcome.
On the 8th, I want to take my son to the aquarium here. It'll be fun, educational, and he'll get to touch stuff.
This Obama stuff is just wrong.

He could simply have dismissed the criticism and anyone fair-minded would've agreed with him.
By reversing course, he raises suspicions about what he was planning to say even more.
