Yes, cameras follow the President if the U.S. Yes, there was "phot-op" aspects to speaking with the kids, just like every President does. The kids didn't seem to care, though.

So we are back to he used the children as a prop. The left has the mentality of the 6 year olds, they don't seem to care.

Education was one of his campaign promises.

He has not even mentioned the word for an entire year and now all of a sudden he cares about education?

The lie is the fact that you back him up knowing nothing good will come out of him using a grade school for his own good and take time away from the kids education.

Selfish move on Presidunces part.




Also, this is a duplicate thread, you already posted in the other thread. No need to duplicate threads because you do not agree with them.
Honestly, talk about "splitting hairs"

I suppose you were equally outraged when Bush visited schools too

Bush spoke on an aircraft carrier to say we had won the war! That wasn't a photo op?

When the first ladies tell a story to young kids, they read out of children's book. They need aids for to tell kids a story, they can't memorize it? What's wrong with them? To go after Obama for something like this is really stupid.

Bush should have used teleprompters more, he wouldn't have sounded like such an idiot.

So, Ms Hussein, you don't recall Bush (or ANY OTHER PRESIDENT FOR THAT MATTER) visiting schools or being filmed/photographed with schoolchildren?

He is NOT smarter then a 6th grader.

Wonder if he told them about himself, how great he is and how someone with all that edumuccatione can become such a failure?

Wonder if he told them not to hang out with criminals like he does?

Wonder if he told them that Michelo is proud to be an American now?

I know. No Republican President would ever "use" children that way!

A podium is not a teleprompter.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN: a new kitchen garden had been planted southwest of the White House. Receipts for the seeds show that Lincoln and his wife, Mary Todd, enjoyed an assortment of fresh fruits and vegetables


First lady Eleanor Roosevelt used the White House grounds during World War II to show support for a civilian defense program for producing homegrown fruits and vegetables.



just so you know

Good to know. Thanks!
