This is the last straw, I am so sick of this. Not since the whole Hurricane Katrina debacle have I ever been so disappointed in the people in America as I am today. I cannot believe that that people are making a big deal about the President addressing our Nation's students and encouraging them to stay in school! This has gone too far now, how much more are we going to let these idiots get away with? I'm just going to come out and say it, but all of this "outrage" is nothing but convert racism!
Honestly, I cannot believe that people in this country think that it is okay to encourage their children to hate the president and to not even think for themselves.
The sad thing is that I remember watching addresses from Ronald Regan seeing Nancy Reagan on my television all the time as a kid. You know what? I sat through all of that stuff and still grew into an adult that thought for myself and voted for Clinton and Obama.
Talk about brainwashing kids?! Filtering what they see and learn in school is worse than anything these fools can accuse Obama of doing. I cannot believe that these people are so close minded that they are afraid to let their kids see that Barack Obama is not the devil incarnate!
People lets start to call a spade a spade here. All of these people claiming that Obama is a Marxist and a socialist that is not a US Citizen are being motivated by hate, ignorance, and racism. Seriously, all of this talk about asking Obama to produce a birth certicate is starting to sound very similar to what they would do in the south with slaves walking outside the plantation..."show me your papers boy!"
I am disgusted that these people are allowed to continue with this ignorance and hatred and shocked that more Americans are not standing up and putting them back where they belong (under a rock somewhere).
Honestly, stuff like this makes me so ashamed to live among people like this in this nation.
EDITED TO ADD......
I was talking to a friend about this issue and he brought a really good point about why the GOP may be fighting this so hard. It is a known fact that Obama was extremely popular with young voters in the last election. Maybe they think that if they keep their children from seeing Barack Obama they think that they can gain back part of the youth vote...
