What’s So Bad About Obama’s Education Speech?
People are making a big deal out of this? God forbid the President of the United States try and encourage kids to do well in school.
I can’t wait to see some conservative talk show hack foam at the mouth on national TV after the speech. I’ll mark my calendar.
“
Bauer asks what I suppose is a fair question: “How would the media have reacted if President Bush had been beamed into classrooms coast-to-coast?” If he’s means the first President Bush, the answer is “They did nothing.” George H. W. Bush made a similar speech to the nation’s students in 1991, and all reports indicate that we withstood the agitprop. If Bauer means the second President Bush, my guess is that liberal hosts would make some utterly predictable, somewhat off-color joke like “Isn’t Bush telling kids to study hard like Barry Bonds broadcasting nationally about fair play in sports?” and then they’d move on, knowing full well that the speech wouldn’t be played in most schools north of the Mason-Dixon line anyway.
