Much adu about nothing.
I think it's great that he's apppointing Bill Ayres to lead the Obama Youth Movement. He has a back ground in elementary education theory. Plus offers real life experience with practical skills.

His speech was fine. Actually, it was a very nice, conservative values speech that any Republican could have written.
Stay in school and take responsibility; *you* are responsible for your future and *you* are the future of America. No excuses.
Now, why hasn't someone said that before?
Oh, yeah, conservatives have been saying that. On talk radio.

So he lied to America's students?

From BTS link:
Lost in all the denouncing and investigating was the fact that Bush's speech itself, like Obama's today, was entirely unremarkable. "Block out the kids who think it's not cool to be smart," the president told students. "If someone goofs off today, are they cool? Are they still cool years from now, when they're stuck in a dead end job. Don't let peer pressure stand between you and your dreams."
Too bad it takes Presidential intervention for kids to hear this.
JWs have the GB telling parents to pull kids out to Pioneer and other kids, not in the Grand Cult, are not even bothering. Kids are dropping out at rates of 50% in some school districts.
Again, Obama's message, like GWB, is fine.
Too bad parents aren't telling kids this.

I'm sorry, BTS... those were rules made up for when Dems were not in power... now they are so the rules have changed.
lol... even Saturday Night Live made fun of this double standard... both sides do it. Whoever has the majority becomes the target, and both sides take turns whining about their turn as the pin cushion, claiming martyrdom and shouting to the media that such criticism is the result of (take your pick) radical left-wingers, radical right-wingers, sexism, fundamentalists, ignorance, etc... Although, insulting voters and calling them racists does seem to be a recent phenomenon...
