Dear Leader to Address Students.....

Steve,

The Obama camp did considerable back pedaling on the speech saying the announcement was poorly worded. You do not know for sure what his original remarks were so you probably should refrain from doing the same thing you criticized Jim Greer for.

Personally, I read every word of it and did not find it harmful. The kiddos were off to school to hear the illustrious leader give his speech. And since I don't trust him on most other things I can only hope he didn't try to sneak something in like he generally does.

Damn it, Bernie... I am mighty proud of you!

(I heard it live...it's probably on the 'Tube by now)
It was squeaky clean and full of motivation...nothing more.

It should become an annual event, no matter who is in office.

Bernie,
They reworded a couple of minor things in the (optional) lesson plan. There was nothing considerable about it. Nope, I have no idea what the original speech was - if there even was a different version, and neither does anybody else on this forum. To assume there was a different version is not based on any evidence we have. To assume that there was not is also based on evidence we do not have. And that was why I said that the lesson plan will have to be taken in context with the actual speech rather than rushing to judgment like just about everyone else here did.
