On the face of it, it sounds innocent enough:

As children across America go back to school, President Obama will deliver a national address directly to students on the importance of taking responsibility for their success in school on Tuesday, September 8th at 12:00 PM EDT at Wakefield High School in Arlington. In advance of this address, the Department of Education is providing resources developed by and for teachers to help engage students and stimulate discussion about persisting and succeeding in school.

But knowing how liberals constantly go after our kids, you know it won’t be anything “innocent” at all. If Mr. Hopenchange wants to have a pep talk with our school children, telling them how important it is to stay in school, great.

But I have a hard time thinking that he’ll stick to that subject. He very well may tell them how terrible it is that THEIR parents oppose his health care plan and, before you know it, grade school children across America will come home and, later that night around the dinner table, ask their parents why they hate America so much. Wouldn’t put it past him at all.

You want to give kids a talk they need? Tell them to a) stay in school, b) keep their pants on (for you tea-smokers, that means abstain from pre-marital sex), and c) stay away from drugs. Do those things and you more than likely won’t be poor and mooching off the American taxpayer.

I’ve said it countless times, and I’ll say it again: Beware the politician that says “It’s for the children”, because it sure as hell isn’t. It’s about them and their agenda, not our kids. That goes for both parties, by the way.

It’s not even the speech itself that’s the problem. It’s the lesson plan they wanted to send out in advance of the speech, asking kids how they can “help Obama”. Not the country, not their parents, not their communities, not themselves, but Obama. So much for JFK’s “ask not what your country can do for you” speech, eh?
