Forgive me if this has already been brought to everyone’s attention, but I didn’t see a diary about it, so...

On September 8th, the President is scheduled to speak to the nations' school children (see info) and the wingnuts are screaming about it.

More after the fold...

[Author’s Note: This is my first Kos diary. I’m an avid reader of this blog and an occasional commenter, but I’m a little intimidated by the writing skill and researching talent of the diarists here, so don’t expect to hear from me often. I offer no useful links and no breaking news. This is just a bit of me sharing my thoughts in the last few days. I hope some of you find them interesting and worth the moment spent.]

Yesterday was a very proud day for me. I’m a fifty-five year old, overweight white female, a Christian, a native-Texan and a life-long Democrat, like my mother and grandparents before me. I took a shine (as Gramma would have said) to Barack Obama way back last year, but I knew he was my candidate when I watched his victory speech after the Iowa caucuses. "Yes, we can!"

It had been a long time since a politician actually inspired me. Anyway, I started donating little bits of money here and there, and I bought myself a t-shirt, a hat and a few other things. Please follow me over the fold —
