He helped start the whole controversy, and then turned around over the weekend - after he had actually read the text - and said, "This is a speech any president should be giving our children," or some such. Ah, the juvenility of American politics. Of course, did you all see Rep. Greer’s comment later?

These are locally run districts. Their ought to be a separation of (Federal) state and school. The same went for W's NCLB expansion. It's a federal intrusion. Obama (or Bush) is not the "head of everything" because he is President. He "presides" over the federal government that is all. There is more to our country than that. We don't have to have little framed pictures of the Prez looking in every institutional venue in the country. This broadcast is just an opportunistic PR stunt. Why would you naively ask "What's the harm in it?" when anyone can see it will accomplish nothing, and there are lessons to do. It is like the Presidential fitness program that Reagan sponsored. Creeping do-goodism of the state. Thanks but no thanks.
