Children don't need to be shielded from politicians. They need to be shielded from their corrupt principles and teachers (I could tell you stories of rampant institutionalized cheating!), and a lot of the time from their own abusive or neglectful parents.
It might make some of the less fortunate children out there feel good to know that the head of our country actually cares whether they graduate or not, since their parents obviously don't. If they're the only ones helped by Obama's speech, then he won't have failed, whatever anyone else thinks of it.

That is so true. Great.

I don't no where to start. Suffice it to say that choice as to whether or not to watch is the only "public option" that holds any water.

What really made me laugh about the whole thing was people actually think school kids were going to be paying attention. I guess they forgot what school was like. I know every speech I had to sit through became background noise as I drifted off to my own little world.

power to the people!

Cool (huge fan).

Yes, it's true, kids probably will just think it's a huge bore!
thanks, 4sh and BE, and all the commenters!

I always thought the best way to ensure literacy would be to forbid reading for anyone under the age of ten. Great cartoon here!

You must have been a kid before.

No. I want my kids to grow up and think like the Neanderthal Dick and Bush. It will help to bring about the world's demise.
