I can just see it now. You guys will be foaming at the mouth, hunched by the tv-as soon as Obama comes on & says "good morning" it'll be chaos. "OH MY GOD!! CAN YOU BELIEVE HE SAID THAT???"

At any rate we both wasted our time with these attempts to help them learn what this may be about.
Michelle might want to do a little homework:

"On November 14, 1988, Reagan addressed and took questions from students from four area middle schools in the Old Executive Office Building.
According to press secretary Marvin Fitzwater, the speech was broadcast live and rebroadcast by C-Span, and Instructional Television Network fed the program “to schools nationwide on three different days
Much of Reagan’s speech that day covered the American “vision of self-government” and the need “to keep faith with the unfinished vision of the greatness and wonder of America” but in the middle of the speech, the president went off on a tangent about the importance of low taxes:"

Conservative media take note: Reagan preached tax cut gospel to America’s students | Media Matters for America

Thanks TigerLily, I knew other presidents had broadcast in classrooms before besides Bush I.

you obviously don't have anything worth saying, so you really don't need to respond. quit going on vacation? be a school teacher? One speech to students makes him a teacher? Find something constructive to say.
