Left Scores One

I'm tempted to give the Obama administration credit for pulling one over on the talking heads of the right. After the administration released some details of the Presidents speech and lesson plan for school children, conservatives reacted strongly. The core of the matter was the proposed lesson plan that would have students ask themselves "What can I do to help the President achieve his goals."
Quite naturally, everyone went off on that. We're pretty skeptical of the motives of the President because he has taken this country on a wild ride to the far left. We were concerned prior to his election about his socialistic tendencies and lack of media research on his questionable associations of the past. Since his election, we believe our concerns are justified by the actions he has taken thus far. We all know that in order to change the future, you need to capture the young and the younger, the better. So, here we are with a President asking students to help him rather than pledging allegiance to the United States of America.
So here's the deal. The President's speech turns out to be totally innocuous and the lesson plan is changed to asking students to write about how they can achieve their short-term and long-term goals. The talking heads of the left are using the opportunity to make right sided heads look like over-reacting alarmists by airing clips of comments made prior to the lesson change and then comparing that to the revised speech. To the viewers of these shows (there aren't that many any more) we may have come off as looking kind of petty. So for this, I just might give Obama coo-dos for pulling off a bait-and-switch on the right!

Just as a side note: Glen Beck said that Keith Oberman was going to dig up dirt on him because Van Jones was forced to resign. I watched Keith's show to see what he got so far. Keith said, what more can we tell you, what can be worse than this, the fact that he (Glen) is "Glen Beck"! Hmm.........

  1. The question remains. What was so wrong for the President to ask "What can I do to help the President achieve his goals."? Can you give us your opinion on that?
