The left is up in arms about this? What are you talking about? The right is up in arms about it -- or was until they were embarrassed when they read the speech -- and the left was just standing around wondering how they could be so ......ridiculous. We aren't up in arms, we're shaking our heads in disbelief on how the right can be so easily led.
Yet more right wing projecting of their behavior onto the left.
There are 90 plus posts by the left whinig about the fact that the right objects to this. More time and energy the left spends whining about this kind of stuff the better for Republicans!

Man, you sure can twist things, can't you? Unbelievable...
I won't say that America has dumbed down over the years. It is just that the dumbness is showing a lot more, as those exhibiting the traits are crawling out of the rocks they had been living under. It is that "real America" Palin once alluded to.
While honesty was unintentional here, ultimately, this is all about "elections". Nothing to do with what is good for the country and its people. It isn't about trying to unite, but divide and propagate hatred, with sight on elections.
Ah my friend but all elections are about is the good of the country. The only hate I have seen exhibited lately is by the left. biting fingers off, beating up protesters, denying 9/11. There is turmoil there oh yes there is.
That has NOTHING to do with Obamas "speech" which is all about how CHILDREN can help Obama.. Staying in school is not the topic, have you even looked at the adjenda for the speech? You can return to your liberal blogs to find the response
So you've read the text, then? Could you do me the favor of posting the parts where he talks about having the children help him?

Except 2008, forgettable elections for y'all. Elections are good, but not as an ongoing season forever until your party wins. Then, the country loses.
"Among the activities the government initially suggested for prekindergarten to sixth-grade students: that they "write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president." Another task recommended for students immediately after listening to the speech: to engage in a discussion about what "the president wants us to do."
The novel curriculum plan brought sharp criticism from conservatives, including some who complained that classrooms were being used to spread political propaganda. In response, the White House last night confirmed they were revising the lesson plan that was distributed last week by the U.S. Department of Education.
"We're clarifying that language," White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said."

Hope this helps!
That is not part of what obama stated, but part of what the DOE came up with to go along with the speech, which is well exactly the same thing as what Bush said in 1991 when he asked students to write him on how they can help.

The DOE is part of the government.
