I say, Go for it Barack! For those Americans who do not want their children to hear the President's address - should turn off their tvs at the time of the address. For the rest of us - the address goes on. How petty have the conservatives become? Is this the same America I longed for just a few years ago? What is so wrong with our President giving a little stratight talk to our upcoming/ future leaders? I am so disappointed at the right-wing of the Republican Party. Where are the Republican Congressional leaders anyway? Why are they leeting a few angry people take their Party under siege? I am equally disappointed at the "so-called bluedog Democrats" What is the point of calling them Democrats if they cant even defend the Party's principles? Did we campaign for them for nothing? I would them to know that we too are Americans, even though we don't go out and yell in townhalls.
I was very pleased at the way Sen. Warner (VA) handled a few rude people at his healthcare town hall yesterday. It was very clear that these "townhall crazies" choose not to follow the truth about healthcare - that they choose to follow the lies told by those right-wing extremists who have hijacked the Republican Party. It's people like these that indoctrinate the minds of young people with hate! Why are they so full of hate? Elections have consequences, and this time the Republicans lost - accepting this is the essence of our democracy.
So Mr. President, go ahead with your planned education talk - do not blink/ burge! For single parents like me and many others are counting on American leaders like you to be role models and the guiding light to our youngstars! We have your back Sir.
May the Almighty God bless you and our beautiful country.
