The issue I think most people are having has absolutely NOTHING to do with “racism” nor anything of the sort. The concern people are having is that the viewing was made private and that parents of the children were not permitted to know what it was about. That is a breach of trust. We cannot trust ANYBODY who undermines parental authority, including the President. The government is “by the people and for the people”. The government has no right whatsoever to involve American children in something so exclusive and private that even their own parents are not allowed to be involved. This is why folks are making allusions to the Hitler Youth Brigades…..

People need to respect President Obama. Period. He is PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA. Not BARACK OBAMA. Not OBAMA. He is the President of the United States and people need to act like they know!

Cute @ doing homework.

I’m cool with his speech. I still do feel that some folks wake up in the morning looking for a way to be offended.

Until President Obama’s skin color changes, there will ALWAYS be a “problem” with what he says, how he says it, what he does and how he does it!! PERIOD!!

I don’t believe this about every conservative republican…I hold to a few conservative beliefs myself. But it’s pretty despicable that a few racists in high place would jump on this bandwagon of “indoctrination.” This is just the kind of “indoctrination” our children need (and adults, for that matter).

However for those who believe the vitriolic foolishness of these folks making the republican party look so bad, all I can say is that Van Jones was right (about the 1:00 mark):
