yes i have had 6 mos in yhe last year not on purpose. obama has had more than one week.the idiot has been all over the world shopping and having fun. his wife and kids even took a seperate flight back from paris so they could shop an extra 2 days. why do you ask?
aside from some weekends at camp david and the last week at martha's vineyard, everything else has been work. Really? Do you really not know that? Do we need to find the GWB vacation stats for you?
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.
thankyou for putting me in my place. you may raise my children as you are so much wiser than me. not no politics in our schools ever
You can bet the TV's will be off in my kids school.
Even the teachers who backed him all along are now against him.
What can he say to kids that means anything when everyone knows he is using the kids to get back his popularity he once had.
Someone please tell the village idiot the kids do not trust him either!
Obama does not do something for nothing, he wants something out of this but guess what? we are not going give him a chance to screw up the kids like he has the country.
How has the President of the United States screwed up the country? The economy is getting better, it is all over the news today even Fox news. There are signs the recession is over. And answer me this, what is the issue with trying to provide health care for families who work hard, pay taxes and still can not afford decent health care?
I think most conservative that scream about the country becoming socialized have no idea what socialism means.
My fear is that these people who obviously haven't been educated correctly will be the next to run the country and then we all should be very afraid. The ignorance boggles my mind. I am from the northeast and did not realize just how ignorant the rest of the country really is.
Most of the parents that are against the president's speech claim to be people of values, so what happened to respect. Do you really think it is OK to teach children to be afraid of their president.
THE ONLY THING MOST OF THESE PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE ABOUT OUR PRESIDENT IS HIS COLOR!!!!!!!!!
So what is bad about it? I looked at the activity menu and it just says things lilke "discuss the office of President, what it takes to become the President ect". I didn't see anything in there that should scare anybody- even the rightist nutcases but most of them probably homseschool anyway so it does not really matter.
It is plain creepy. Can we say indoctrination, totalitarianism?
Maybe it would be better if Cheney gave a speech because Bush's administration was soooooo transparent. I am so tired of everyone forgetting how much the Bush administration spent. Look it up.

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:"
Of course. It's just the cheap shot antics our president uses to push his propoganda. I mean, is it really necessary to preach to children?!?! He looks like he's desperate, scheming and caniving graveling to school children. What a worthless piece of trash we have for POTUS.
zz4guy, I'm sure you remember that it's been a fairly frequent activity for presidents and other political leaders to visit schools. For example, Laura Bush visited a school in my area, and if you'll remember, GWB was visiting an elementary school to read The Pet Goat and talk to the children on the morning of 9/11.
Though I did not like Bush, I am fairly certain that he was not using his visit as a cheap-shot antic to push any propaganda other than the expected sentiments of "Stay in school" or "Get a good education." Again, hough I did not like the man or his policies, it would be absurd of me (or anyone) to assert that Bush was there to say "Waterboarding is cool!" or any other such ridiculous nonsense.
