Obama's Giving Homework

As some of you know, Obama's giving a speech to school children next week in an attempt to socialize our children into zombified-brain-eating-monster-socialists, or something like that.

There's been a flurry of parents against the topic, requesting their children not be shown the speech.

But the best response I have heard so far?

A kid who, red-faced and angry, insisted she was not going to watch that speech because Obama was planning on assigning her homework.

Funny. It kind of reminds me of what the Soviets did to the Koreans when they first came to the country after World War II. They made everyone watch movies- made it all fun and stuff- on how great Communism is. A lot of people believed them hense North Korea. Not that Obama wants us to be North Korea! Ha! But still... it's awfully similiar.

Wow. So does that mean she gets ticked when you assign her homework?

It will be interesting to hear that speech, to say the least.

LOL! That's awesome.

Oh, that's too cute. I hadn't heard that one yet. Thanks for sharing.

Kid's are awesome!

Beth, you'd probably know better than me, but wasn't it deemed unconstitutional for the government (White House--something like that) to give curriculum to the school system? I think most of the protests have been due to the lesson plans and guided discussions the White House sent to go with the speech.

Homework! Too funny! And I'll leave any other thoughts for offline.

Too funny! I'm a conservative Republican and I can't get over the frenzy over this! I think that it's a brilliant idea for the President to address the nation's children. What the heck?

I think this kid deserves to be moved up a grade. She's already got things figured out.

...I don't get it. I read the link, and googled Obama's upcoming speech, but I still don't understand the problem... Anyone care to help the poor Australian boy out?

I'd be ticked too. It's bad enough the teachers give you homework, not to mention the President. LoL! What a funny story. ;)
