THAT, combined with his "obama-youth" notions that he talked about during the campaign, and the indoctrination of children in leftist policies advocated by the school board he and Bill Ayers were on together back in Chicago JUSTIFIABLY worried a lot of parents. Anyone who wasn't worried wasn't paying attention or has already guzzled the Obama Kool-aid. Now he's backpedaling, changing the homework, and likely sanitizing the speech that once went along with the original homework.

You have all the right-wing buzz words in all the right places. I also like how you did REFUSED in all caps. The speech will be available on line before he gives it. There were many components to the suggested in-class and homework assignments, one of them being "How will you help the president?" A completely innocuous question unless you are of the mind that the president is a boogie man trying to steal our children from us like the Pied Piper. Only then would that question appear ominous and intimidating.
Because of protests, that question was removed from the assignments, and what is the result? He is accused of backpedaling. Sorry, you can't have it both ways.
Just out of curiosity, what do you honestly think he was going to say in his speech, before it was "sanitized"?

No.
Obama gets no respect from me. He hasn't earned it, and he has proven he doesn't deserve it.

Besides the error in Palin comment, remember all of these comments happened during an election. Clinton disrespected McCain and Obama, and McCain certainly had his digs in on Clinton and Obama. It's an election. It's what happens. When it's over you shake hands and move on. McCain did. Clinton did. Sounds like samurai007 has not.
