How can I help, Mr. President?
2009-09-05
Why would anyone want to deprive impressionable school-aged children from hearing the inspiring wisdom of the president? Barack Obama is determined to impart his knowledge upon our pliable offspring via webcast across the country next week and we should not stand in his way.

This is, as they say, a teachable moment. There is nothing to fear. Naturally, teachers and parents, incapable of handling the sheer concentrated intellectual force of such a historic event, have been forwarded a detailed lesson plan by the Department of Education (sic) so that no child will be inadvertently blinded by the dazzling light of hope.

I read it and read it again. It was better each time.

#3  it is empirically evident that the more one hears his homilies, the less inclined one is to trust him.

An important lesson for the kiddies!

#2  If my son is exposed to this at school, I will have him take detailed notes of the lecture, and then we will dissect them later and compare with what he is doing. He will then examine the discrepancies between what O says and what he does.

I see this as a teachable moment on how to identify demagogues, propaganda, fluff, and BS. Good life skills.

#1  Our President appears to have an unlimited craving for public exposure. It is already working against him. I suspect it will get much worse for him. Most of us don't want our President in our face as much as he wants/needs to be.
