Like so much else the 'bamster as done, his "Dear Leader" speech to the children is blowing up in his face. There's no question it's his own fault. The "inartfully worded" lesson plan for the teachers which included having students write about how they could help the President and presumably advance his agenda drew a lot of responses like these:
My Way: Obama Speech to Students Sparks New Controversy"As far as I am concerned, this is not civics education - it gives the appearance of creating a cult of personality," said Oklahoma Republican state Senator Steve Russell. "This is something you'd expect to see in North Korea or in Saddam Hussein's Iraq."Arizona state schools superintendent Tom Horne, a Republican, said lesson plans for teachers created by Obama's Education Department "call for a worshipful rather than critical approach."

Part of the problem is that the White House is either so egotistical that they assume everyone really is an Øbamabot and would not question the idea that the children of America should be drafted into adoration of the Dear Leader...
...or they are so ham-fisted, they can't even get a simple speech to kids right.
Me...I say both.
Apparently, nobody has any idea what he's going to say. And with the "worshipful" lesson plans for teachers it didn't seem likely that it would be a straight non-partisan, non-political pitch for staying in school and how important education is, but rather a recruitment video to inspire kids to "serve" the President.
Apparently the current occupants of the White House are unaware that in America the President serves The People not the other way around. This seems to be one of those civics lessons the 'bamster & his posse are a little unclear on.
Perhaps rather than attempting to give a civics lesson they should be taking one.

What has been so surprising to me is how ridiculously tone deaf the Obamatons are to public reaction to their policies. Bill Clinton made an interesting comment the other day, when he said the polls will positively change once health care reform is passed. Here, a man who checked the polls to change his undershorts said something like that...either Bubba is deliberately encouraging the Obamatons to crash and burn in order to retake leadership of the Jackass Party, or he's lost his political skills entirely.
ReplyDeleteI'm certainly hoping that once Americans get a good look at the radicals in the Obama administration, they will make sweeping changes in 2010. The Dear Leader lesson plans the Dept of Education tried to foist on the schools was the dumbest political move I've seen in decades. Couple this with the Van Jones "Communist in the White House" scandal, I'm not sure how much longer this administration can stand. Its on life support provided by the MSM press who continue to wet themselves and hyperventilate in the presense of the Messiah.
I HOPE for 3 years and CHANGE.
