President Obama's Brainwash

If anyone had bothered to read and watch President Obama's speech today, you would have found out that he's on a brainwashing crusade.

He told the nation's schoolchildren- those who showed up, anyway- that they're held accountable for their own learning. Which includes listening to their teachers, and their parents. Ooh! Listening to their parents and teachers, and doing their homework, as opposed to...say, playing Grand Theft Auto IV 24/7, or playing hooky and dealing drugs on the street. What a concept! Man! I never thought of that before! But many parents- particularly of the conservative proclivity- decided that their kids didn't need to hear about responsibility to their teachers, to them the parental units, and even to the children themselves. Oh, no. They're too good to hear about how they can become better citizens of the United States.

Imagine that! President Obama telling kids that they're held accountable for their education as well as their teachers and parents. And that same president stating that their are no excuses for failing and being a dropout. Yeah. That sounds like socialism and pushing some political agenda to me. But hey, these conservative folks know what's best for their kids, right? I can hardly wait to hear the Republican response to this (that is, if there is one...).
