Obama Speech to Kids — Why the Uproar?

President Obama wants to speak to the children of America.  Why is there such an uproar over this?  I think it’s a great idea for the President of America to speak up and say something important to American children.  There are too many bad influences in the lives of young people, and often parents are too busy doing their own thing to really give their kids the attention they need.  So many kids are doing what’s cool rather than what’s right.  Parents should be thankful to have a President who wants to say something positive to children and give them something to work towards.

Many parents are upset over this Obama’s speech to kids because they feel it is a bipartisan move to indoctrinate the children.  Some say it’s socialistic.  And of course the media is all over this and making matters worse as usual.  The media loves to get things stirred up and start controversy so they can get more people to watch their news stories.

I think it’s about time one of our leaders takes an interest in the children and tries to do his part to inspire them to work hard and believe in themselves.  What’s wrong with that?  Would it be better to have leaders who just stay out of things and keep their mouths shut because they might offend someone if they speak up?  President Obama should continue to speak to the children of this country, and other leaders should take an interest in them as well.  Parents who disagree with what they say can speak up themselves — to their children.
