Greetings puny Earthlings...
The media are having a field talking about how those evil right-wingers have the audacityof hope to dare to complain about the speech President Obama made today to America's schoolchildren.
Well, that calls for a little reality check.
Sure the speech was pretty innocuous, the usual "stay in school" "wash your hands" and "don't pick your nose you little bastard," boilerplate, but remember this is Obama we're talking about. Obama is the man who never stopped campaigning for the job he already has. That coupled with the "lesson plan" crap about how the kids could help theirdear leader president change America into a land of unicorns and universal health care could only make people paranoid.
And remember one little tidbit...
Back in 1991 George HW Bush did the same thing. Now you have to remember that it was a non-controversial speech, without any hidden agendas, or even the suspicion of hidden agendas.
What did the Democrats, who held the majority in Congress do?
They held Senate committee hearings and then called for an investigation from the General Accounting Office to see if any criminal charges could be brought against the Bush 1 administration for this "outrage."
It kind of puts the whole complaining thing in perspective, doesn't it?
Personally, I think the only thing this speech will accomplish is teach a whole new generation that their President's favourite topic of conversation is himself.
Keep watching the skies, because we're watching you.
