Ah, he was one of my first to be filtered.
Now you know why.

Is he trying to tell MY kids to be responsible for THEMSELVES? Is he trying to tell them to KILL THEIR PARENTS???????????

Joann DiGennaro - Gifted Minds We Need to Nurture - washingtonpost.com
Are We Failing Our Geniuses? - TIME

Fail, as it were.... He talked about perseverance, which geniuses need too.

You know, if obama had been satisfied with just the speech and didn't put out a "study guide" and that text about "helping obama", this would have been a non-issue.

Of course, it's still All About Him;

* 56 iterations of “I”
* 19 iterations of “school”
* 10 iterations of “education”
* 8 iterations of “responsibility”
* 7 iterations of “country”
* 5 iterations each of “parents”, “teachers”
* 3 iterations of “nation”

As I stated in another thread here, I was on the fence until actually reading the speech myself. After giving it a couple of reviews, I have no problem with it whatsoever, and think it is a great speech to give to the kids. It should resonate with many of them no matter their personal circumstance.

I fully support allowing kids to see and listen to this speech.

I just read about a guy who read the unedited version backwards... he put the neighborhood dogs into gulags and grew a weird little mustache. Drove him completely insane. Beck was right man!
