I had no problem with my daughter watching the speech. She said she liked it. I wonder if all of the alarmists who said Obama was trying to indoctrinate our children with Communism have apologized to the President and the American people? Yeah, I bet not. The goal is never the truth just to prevent the other side from doing anything. (That goes for all parties).

I will say that as a teenager I wouldn't have watched it given a choice. I would have skipped out knowing what he was going to talk about. If he had some interesting stuff to discuss that would have been cool but I never needed a pep talk. As an adult I would react differently but teenage me wouldn't have cared a bit.

Funny thing about all of this is that in 1991 Big Bush addressed schools and the only complaint was that it cost too much to produce. Why was it such a big deal this time? Oh, cause a Democrat was doing it.
