Obama controversy

I think it is appalling that we as Americans have created such drama and controversy over Obama addressing the nation's children in school. Stop for a minute and think about how ridiculous this is. Do you really think that he is going to brainwash today's youth? Really!?

I heard on the news this morning that some people are up in arms because the Obama administration had asked the kids to write a letter to the President saying what they want to see happen in the United States. That Obama is somehow trying to take advantage of these kids ideas and pass them off as his own. Seriously?? I doubt that the President is so short on ideas that he has come up with this clever scheme to target the undertapped resource of children's brains.

Whenever I first heard that Obama wanted to address the kids in school, I thought that it was a great idea. It is a tough world out here and I think that kids can use all the encouragement they can get. I would have loved to have had the President give a speech directed at me whenever I was in school. It makes you feel special and alive. It helps build a foundation that you can achieve your dreams and become successful.

Do I agree with everything that Obama stands for? Obviously not.

Do I believe that he has some corruptive hidden agenda whenever he gives a speech to the children? Obviously not.

Wake up people! There is so much drama in this world over petty things, please stop adding to the problem! A simple solution for those of you who disagree with my opinion and have children: don't send your children to school that day! Done, problem solved.
