The President's Speech to School Children

On September 8, 2009, President Barack Hussein Obama will hook up to a nationwide feed to address schoolchildren in grades K-12. In this unprecedented move, the President will speak
to the nation's children in what can only be described as a scripted attempt to garner the "hearts and minds" of our most precious treasure. The audacity and arrogance of this President apparently knows no bounds. In an incredible insult to any teacher worthy of the name, President Obama's "people' have written a "study guide" that takes teachers and students step by step through the speech. It instructs teachers WHAT QUESTIONS to ask of their students and WHAT to focus on before during and after the speech. I got a copy of the instruction manual (which any teacher with a soul should instantly burn) and took the liberty of answering some of the questions myself. I present them here for your instruction. Please put your pencils down when the bell rings.

Before the Speech:


Teachers can build background knowledge about the President of the United States and his speech by reading books about presidents and Barack Obama and motivate students by asking the following questions: Who is the President of the United States? What do you think it takes to be President? To whom do you think the President is going to be speaking? Why do you think he wants to speak to you? What do you think he will say to you?

To be president you have to have almost no experience as a politician. You DO need to have a lot of people with a lot of money stacking the deck so that you can convince people who aren’t too smart that you’re the right guy for the job.

The president will be speaking to students who have little or no political knowledge. He will do this because he thinks that by having young impressionable children think that he really cares about them, that they will become indoctrinated with his Marxist ideology.

He wants to speak to children because his ego is so huge that he feels as though he has the right to interrupt the school day to try to sell young children on the idea that he’s a very nice man who only wants the best for the country. He is banking on the fact that most small children of school age will believe him because he’s the president. He is hoping that most of the chilfren don’t have intelligent parents who will tell their children not to listen to Barack Obama because even though is IS the president, he does not have the best interests of the country in his heart.

He will probably say a lot of things that will sound very nice and he will tell the children that he just wants to make sure that this country is the best it can be. He won’t tell the children that his plan to make the country the best it can be requires him to destroy what took over 200 years to accomplish. That he ultimately wants to have the United States be a second or third rate country so that he can become the Supreme Ruler and have a say in everything that everyone does at all times. He will NOT tell the children that the word for that is DICTATOR or that he has a mental disorder that prevents him from accepting any criticism without resorting to intimidation and character assassination.


Teachers can ask students to imagine being the President delivering a speech to all of the students in the United States. What would you tell students? What can students do to help in our schools? Teachers can chart ideas about what they would say.

I would tell students that it is very dangerous to listen to anyone who commandeers the airwaves and forces you to listen to their ideas. Such people have historically been dictators and megalomaniacs and should be shunned and avoided at all costs. If that is not possible, then they should dismiss anything that such a person says as pure rubbish.


Why is it important that we listen to the President and other elected officials, like the mayor, senators, members of congress, or the governor? Why is what they say important?

It is important to listen to politicians to see exactly how far they will go and how many lies they will tell to get their way. Other than that. Listening to politicians is usually a waste of time and in some cases may liead to brain damage.


During the Speech:


As the President speaks, teachers can ask students to write down key ideas or phrases that are important or personally meaningful. Students could use a note-taking graphic organizer such as a Cluster Web, or students could record their thoughts on sticky notes. Younger children can draw pictures and write as appropriate. As students listen to the speech, they could think about the following: What is the President trying to tell me? What is the President asking me to do? What new ideas and actions is the President challenging me to think about?

It is interesting that the government document uses the term “Cluster Web”. I am reminded of another term that uses the word “Cluster” that would fit seamlessly into this discussion.


Students can record important parts of the speech where the President is asking them to do something. Students might think about: What specific job is he asking me to do? Is he asking anything of anyone else? Teachers? Principals? Parents? The American people?

The last leader of a large nation to ask young people to “do” something along the lines of what President Barack Obama is proposing was Adolph Hitler when he instituted the Hitler Youth. I find very little to distinguish President Barack Obama’s plan from the plan from the 1930’s.




Students can record any questions they have while he is speaking and then discuss them after the speech. Younger children may need to dictate their questions.

Younger children dictating their questions can get a vicarious thrill to see what it’s like to be Barack Obama who dictates quite a bit.

After the Speech:


Teachers could ask students to share the ideas they recorded, exchange sticky notes or stick notes on a butcher paper poster in the classroom to discuss main ideas from the speech, i.e. citizenship, personal responsibility, civic duty.

Citizenship , personal responsibility and civic duty are concepts that are totally alien to the current administration. President Barack Obama does not want anyone to have personal responsibility unless they are CIA officers who interrogated murderous IslamoFascists who were plotting to destroy America and kill its citizens. Those people (the interrogators not the murderers) will be held accountable for making the murderers uncomfortable or saying bad things to them to get them to talk.

The only civic duty that President Barack Obama is interested in would be to have all school children inform on their parents if they disagree with President Barack Obama or his policies


Students could discuss their responses to the following questions: What do you think the President wants us to do? Does the speech make you want to do anything? Are we able to do what President Obama is asking of us? What would you like to tell the President?

Mostly the president wants all of us to follow along and not ask any questions. He wants everyone to acknowledge that he is the smartest man in the world and follow him like a tent preacher in Mississippi. If we remove our brains, give up our intelligence and drink enough Kool Aid we will be able to do what President Barack Obama asks us to do.
I would like to tell President Barack Obama something, but I was raised better than that.


DING! TIME'S UP! PENCIL'S DOWN.

Now in the interest of helping the next generation with some clear thinking. I propose that you take this blog and print it out and give it to your child on the 7th of September so that they will be prepared for school on the 8th.
