But it must be okay. At least he only tried to brainwash 40.

What on earth does pitching healthcare to 16-year-olds have to do with taking responsibility for education?

And it was a darn good speech, IMHO. My whole office stopped to watch it (well, we are an education think tank).but we’d never have done that without the flap. Wonder how many others tuned in.

This, I think, is exactly where the conservative counterrevolution, or whatever you want to call it, jumped the shark.
I work in a building that has a lot of political “civilians”, the advertsing, accounting and clerical folks. They are the folks who are your “undecided voters” well into October, because they don’t pay attention before then. They are’t ideologues of either side. And none of them understand why parents wouldn’t want their kids to hear a speech from the president of the United States.

I hate it when ideologues manufacture things to talk about…we’ve got more than enough worries without having to make things up.

Pretty cool that the president is taking time to talk directly with students about *gasp* personal responsibility.

Now, if we can just get that words to match deeds thing going… :)
