Speechify

I am stupified that segments of the American public object to the notion that the President is going to give a speech to schoolchildren.

"Liberal lies"? "Socialism"? This has gone too bloody far. The far right is cornered, terrified, and lashing out crazily. Obama is not the liberal that I am, so worry more about the children that I encounter than about those whom he will address.

The President's speech is an honor. The President deserves our respect, and so do the majority of our citizens, who voted him in. I'm a pacifist, yet I'm leaning toward uprising in this climate of labeling, threatening, and hate.
