    Just asked my 10 year old what she thought of it. Was too busy yesterday with 3 hours of soccer coaching in the evening- Her first words were that "there's no excuse for not trying!" I said that she already knows that, but then she raised her arms high and wide and said "but when the President Says it!" smiling... indicating potentially higher importance.

    She also asked me if I knew that He had to wake up at 4 in the morning to study with his mom, and that she was single?

    That was about it, then before she turned and left she said, "It was very inspiring." Then skipped off down the hall to do her homework.

    Can we please stop repeating the lie that the left did very much the same thing to Bush 41? The objection was in the spending of $26,000 in production costs. Though there was a little congressional negativity, it was NOTHING REMOTELY NEAR THE LEVEL OF OUTCRY AGAINST OBAMA in this case, not even remotely in the same league. Not even close. If you think it was remotely close you are lying to yourself, and trying to add a little Joe Scarborough style GOP cover down.

    though i guess if you are looking for cover you can call a shoplifter and a mass murderer both exactly the same... [​IMG]

    Well, during the first Bush's speech, I was in elementary school so I dont exactly remember the outcry or lack of one. I do remember reading that people were called into hearings about it which seems more serious than people bitching on tv.

    Anybody know how much was spent on the Obama speech?

    Great speech. I have been laughing my butt off all week watching the highlights of people over the last 2 weeks go on TV and ***** and moan about the President trying to indoctrinate the kids, etc. These people should be ashamed of themselves. I am glad I got a good laugh and now know better who these people are. All of this does though make you wonder how much Patriotism our country has if the President gets this much **** over a speech like that.
