Seriously!!! Do your homework? Study? Wash your hands to avoid getting sick? What leader would teach such craziness to children???!!!! Teaching them that ketchup is a vegetable -- now THAT is useful information for school children.

I was joking. I enjoyed the speech and am glad my 2nd grader watched it.

I keep waiting to hear the Republican response! Maybe "don't study, cut class, and drop out ASAP".

They don't know what to say now, because they either refuse to hear the speech and can't comment on it, or they know they had a cow over nothing but can't admit it.

Reaction to Bush doing something similiar in 91

The controversy over President Obama's speech to the nation's schoolchildren will likely be over shortly after Obama speaks today at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. But when President George H.W. Bush delivered a similar speech on October 1, 1991, from Alice Deal Junior High School in Washington DC, the controversy was just beginning. Democrats, then the majority party in Congress, not only denounced Bush's speech -- they also ordered the General Accounting Office to investigate its production and later summoned top Bush administration officials to Capitol Hill for an extensive hearing on the issue.

I diagreed with pretty much everything Bush stood for, but I still wouldn't have taken my kid out of class if they were going to watch him. I never heard of that. I remember watching Presidents speak in school. Its about history. Trust me, no matter how liberal or conservative a school is, usually kids follow what their parents think.

Yeah, I would have just considered it (Bush speaking) a "teachable moment."
