FWIW, Sec of Defense Bob Gates spoke instead of Obama, so not a bad get for BVNW.

Yes, take away an opportunity to let your kids hear a president speak firsthand. That's some excellent parenting.

You may not agree with our president but he is an excellent speaker and has been all about education since becoming a politician. In fact, I doubt many people would disagree with his views on the importance of education if they took the time to actually hear and read them and not make assumptions.

Whatever. He'd probably fill their heads with commie thoughts like "study hard, and make something of yourself."

Besides, we all know that the #1 influence on young people, above rock stars, celebrities or peers, is the President of the United States. Whatever he says, they will automatically do. We must protect our children from supporting mildly expansive coverage of health care.
