In the eighth grade my Civics teacher, Mrs. Shoemake, assigned our homework to listen to President Johnson’s State of The Union Address. I listened very carefully or thought I did. Only after he finished did I hear the comentators talking about how he had announced he would not seak re-election the the Presidency.

Lessons: Listening to our leaders is a time honored tradition.

Actually listening is less common than it should be.

Sometimes what they say is important, other times it makes for a good sleep.

I’m enjoying the political spot in which President Obama orders us to elect Alex Sink. She isn’t running it, her opponent is. Nobody likes to take orders from public servants.

The guy gives more speeches than any other president we have ever had. Enough! Our kids need to spend their time on reading, writing, math and the other basic subjects. Keep the politics out of the schools! My grandson will not be attending if they decided to show it at his school.

I agree wiht the previous post, If I have to listen to one more word from that man, I will be sick. He will go down in history as the biggest failure of a president in the history of our nation.

Vote in November and take back control of our country!

There are so many things I like about living in the South. However intolerance and ignorance is definitely a quality that exists among many of us.

Come on Michelle – Get Real – This speech will lead your children to be come “the next generation of the new Hitlers Youth.”

If your children can be that easily influenced you have bigger problems than Obama’s presidency!

That is a very hateful statement that cannot be backed up!

I am a republican and I disagree with many of Obama’s initiatives – but there is nothing wrong with this speech.

Teaching them reading, writing and Arithmetic! Not a socialistic form of government at work. What a waste of time. Homeschool!

If it was George W. Bush or any other republican in the white house the schools would practically mandate that their students watch the speech. People in this country or going to have to learn to respect each other, whether they like it or not. Slaves didn’t have opinions and in the south as far back as the 60’s southern blacks still had a hard row to hoe. Other cultures learn how to live with other cultures.

If I have to watch that man strut across another stage I may just barf.

The best thing he has done since he got it was the first thing he did
and that sign the stem cell bill.

Now he has raise the cost of everything we buy and lowered even
further the value of everything we own.

What a joke. Congress is a joke.
AMERICA is becoming a JOKE!

I’ll tell you the only thing about us that is not a joke OUR DEBT!
