Obama's Back to School Speech

I read the transcript of the speech that Obama gave to our school children. It took me a while to get to it, but I must say that there is no mention of politics in it. It is strictly a speech about what our children must due to become successful and help our country be successful. You can read the transcript of the speech here.

Before the speech the Republicans and right wing media used fear again as a tactic to get parents to keep their children out of school and accuse Obama of trying to indoctrinate their children with his socialist message using taxpayer money. That is such load of b.s. For one thing, I don't believe that Obama is a socialist and I think they use that term loosely to instill fear in people. For another thing, they were way off base with the message they believed that he was going to be giving our children.

Fear tactics are usually only a last resort when you are debating a subject. Fear is the tool that you use when you have nothing else, including facts to back up your arguement. It seems like the Republican Party and their right wing media hacks are trying to bring the United States down to the level of a thrid world or war-torn country. They want to encite violence against the politicians across the aisle. They want to have their constituents riot in town hall meetings. They want all of this so that they can blame Obama for bringing our country to this point and then hopefully sweep in and save the day in the next election. That is bodacus!
