Then tell me when the DOE suggested the question of
"how can you help the president"..
DO WHAT?

If your telling me the speech was not changed, then you or the wife beater would have no problem at all picking out from the text of the speech, what Obama needed their help to do...

Seriously, it shouldnt be difficult to find, the text copies are everywhere. What part of the speech could the question be referring to?

Parents to my knowledge didnt know about it ahead of time, and Democrats just opened up an investigation, yeah.. that sounds so much better..

It is not clear to me that the lesson plan was for a different speech. But, then, I actually read the lesson plan and heard the speech.

Help Obama? I think, as President, he needs to help the American people. It isn't ALL ABOUT HIM. He needs to do the right thing, and so far, nothing he has done has inspired me to respect him. In fact, the longer he is in office, the more untrustworthy he is proving himself to be.

Like I said, EPIC FAIL.

On the other hand, EPIC WIN for the United States, parents, and their families, for wising up to this charlatan.
Seems like somebody needs a speech about respect, no wonder many kids now have no respect for authority, just look at the parents. God Bless America! You cant win against ignorance, unfortunately its passed on to the children

Glad to see the "real amerika" showing the true colors of it and its parents. No way would I ever had walked out on Bush #1's speech or Reagan's speech, and I am a clear Obama supporter.

(...and a complete waste of everyone's time....when they should've been getting instruction/studying/working in class).
Well....if you didn't see it....and your kids didn't see it....then how can you assign it as an "epic fail"?
