The President's Address ~ September 9,2009

Ok so the presidential address to the kids in school had great potential and great intentions behind it, however, I do not think that it should have been aired in every school. I think that kids should stay in school and I believe that they will prosper from it, however I don't think it makes much of a difference if their parents tell them to do it or president Obama tells them to do it. Thought I believe that it was not really beneficial, I think it is stupid that it has been going under this much scrutiny. Obama just wanted to reinforce the stay in school success message and not take over as a dictator. Presidents in the past have done this very thing and they did not get half as much scrutiny as Obama has gotten these past few days. I just believe that basically his message was redundant to what the students hear from their parents and if they hear it enough they would just disregard the message and not want to hear the underlined message again, The underlined message being, stay in school or you will not achieve what you dream of achieving. For example, it is like your mom telling you not to drink, then your dad telling you not to drink, then the president telling you not to drink. They are all saying the same thing but in the end, you are going to do what you want to do no matter who tells you not to do it.

Thats All for now!
