Ah the Furor over the Fuhrer’s Speech. Well.. no one in there RIGHT mind trusts him eh?
When he tells Parents to shut up and get out of the way then expect him to be welcome into the classrom and childs mind as a super authority figure. With a Loyalty build not to the parents, god or the constitution. But to the Democrats.

Secretary Duncan, the furor over Mr. Obama’s intended speech is just a reflection of the people’s distrust in his stance for big government control, anti-American pronouncements while on foreign soil, and his inability to understand that most Americans want to live in a free society where free markets to prevail. 9.7% unemployment doesn’t make it better for him either. Like Mr. Gibbs, the White House press secretary, you us e the word “silly” to disparage the people who feel this way. Are you jsut another political tool for the president’s agenda, or is a quality education for our children your goal?

America…are there any “adults” in “our” White House?

Words…like…wee…weeing…and silly?

They don’t talk like adults nor do they act like adults who take responsiblity for their bad actions!

Let me remind you, America, that Bilderberg Bush-Obama was pronounced the Messiah of the Nation of Islam by the one the only anti-american Louis Farrkahan!

And why did he say he was their long awaited…Messiah?

“Because he had “captured” the minds of the “youth”!

But Bilderberg Bush-Obama is not satisfied with just Islamic “youth”…he wants the “youth” of the infidels (anyone not Muslim)!

He doesn’t want to speak to 7-12th grades…because these “youth” have already formulated their opinions.

No…he wants the young, impressionable minds of 5-13 yr olds!

It is said he wanted to encourage, in his speech, their staying in school…why would you have to encourage a 5-13 yr old to stay in school…they aren’t thinking about that?

Because…America…this is just an introductory speech into the minds of our children.

I don’t care what this Arne says…perhaps he is blind, dumb and deaf like the rest of the Democratzi.

But “real” Americans…are united in this…GET OUT OF OUR SCHOOLS AND OUT OF OUR LIVES!

=========================

THE REVOLUTION OF THE SILENT MAJORITY – SILENT NO MORE!

1. GETTING INFORMED
2. GETTING INVOLVED

DON’T TREAD ON US…WE PAY YOUR BILLS IN WASHINGTON AND IN YOUR HOMES…BUT WE WON’T BE STARTING IN 2010 AND BEYOND…GUARANTEED!

IMPEACHMENT OR THE ‘ORIGINAL’ KENYAN BIRTH CERTIFICATE…IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME!

TRUST – it’s difficult to earn and easy to lose

President Obama should consider this a sobering message – parents do not trust Obama with their children. Regardless of what anyone else is saying, this should be a wake-up call for Obama. But, instead, Obama berates and smears the parents, not only calling them “silly” but having members of his cabinet and his spokesperson repeating the “silly” name-calling.
