They simply will not let a black man BE President. Every move that President Obama makes infuriates them- teapartiers, birthers, whatever the issue of the moment that they can wrap around the fact that they are furious that a black man (or maybe they are furious that an intelligent man) is president. The latest is even more outrageous-that school children can't listen to their president give a welcome address-and what if there was a political element in it? I had to listen to crap from Bush I about a "war on drugs" that I don't agree with, or wear an f-ing red ribbon (mandatory) for red ribbon week. I know as an educator that DARE is a horrible horrible ineffective program but it is shoved down my children's throats for years. No choice. But this Tuesday my children will not have the opportunity to hear their President speak live. (we can "tape it and listen at home like sex education, so that parents can say things to their children like: "now see the black president doesn't really count"). We elected Obama, we made sacrifices so that this country might recover from extreme stupidity and they just won't let it happen. Maybe dems should grow a pair and tell them to just SHUT UP and live with it. Please stop trying to be bi-partisan!!! When will we learn that these people cannot be rational???
