I thought it was a lovely speech and I am going to show it to my son who is having some difficulties with school and with the direction his life is taking. I'm hoping it will motivate him to buckle down and realise that the world is his oyster if he is willing to put in the time and effort.Kerreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00024190266950080861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133212717488065538.post-76325975304852224142009-09-09T20:12:26.051-07:002009-09-09T20:12:26.051-07:00I completely agree with this! Ever since the "...I completely agree with this! Ever since the "controversy" began, I wondered exactly what it was that parents were so afraid of - since when is an inspirational speech detrimental to the youth of our nation?<br /><br />I suppose that some people will find fault in our President no matter what, but that's still no excuse to keep our children from listening to his message of motivation and perseverance.<br /><br />It's a shame that there are actually parents out there who have allowed their political affiliations to fuel their paranoia, instead of making them more understanding.TwentySomethingMommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09524631787435865088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133212717488065538.post-46620469137338013402009-09-09T14:10:08.240-07:002009-09-09T14:10:08.240-07:00I have an award for you on my blog. :)

To teach their kids the exact the opposite of what Obama was trying to convey. That school is optional, and working hard is overrated.Tara Basshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909810205382317982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133212717488065538.post-68911431718698798362009-09-09T06:47:24.381-07:002009-09-09T06:47:24.381-07:00Nice job on this post!

It seems that most people that had a problem with the speech didn't like the way it was presented. Personally, I think that's a cop out. I don't understand what all the big huff was about. People are hung up on the word "serve." They're taking it out of context and twisting the meaning. It's really sad and quite frankly, embarrassing.yadda yaddahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12103181706845395076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133212717488065538.post-51714243815299997572009-09-08T14:04:15.838-07:002009-09-08T14:04:15.838-07:00I totally agree!

The explanation I got most often was that they did not agree with his policies. SO WHAT??? What does that have to do with him speaking and encouraging children? Oh well, it's done now and I'm glad my children had the opportunity to watch!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323881664284941551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133212717488065538.post-57453969379635451232009-09-08T11:44:54.073-07:002009-09-08T11:44:54.073-07:00Excellent commentary...

I refuse to believe that any one really thought the President of the United States would say anything to our children about policy, war, or any other political matter.<br />Thanks for this post!HautePinkClosethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00580138973911847063noreply@blogger.com
