That’s funny. Maybe the parts of the NT that talk about the disciples living together and sharing everything should be read out loud repeatedly.

Sweet. I just got a robocall from my school: we’ll be showing the speech tomorrow after all!

Now to figure out how to finagle it: I think our class is normally at lunch during that time.

Here is the transcript of the speech:

[http://www.whitehouse.gov/MediaResources/PreparedSchoolRemarks/?source=email](http://www.whitehouse.gov/MediaResources/PreparedSchoolRemarks/?source=email)

I’m not reading it. I did a text search for “Karl Marx” and found nothing, so I’m satisfied.

And that’s exactly how their insidious plans are going to gain traction. Right there - first paragraph! - “I heart Carl Marks and you should, too!”

I read the speech. it was nice. I hope the idiots who are refusing to allow their ultra sensitive children to hear it, will read it. Then they should be thoroughly embarrassed. How many times will they allow the conservative noise makers cause them to act like fools, before they say enough is enough. You guys should feel like idiots for biting on right wing propaganda once again. Suckers.

Well, I for one am outraged. There’s _clearly_ religious indoctrination in that speech! Says right there:

[QUOTE=President Obama]  
Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.  
[/QUOTE]  
This just will not stand! How DARE he teach my kids about God! I fully expect Glen Beck and Sarah Palin to be on top of this one.  
Ok, I don’t have any kids in school, but if I did…

Bullshit, it’s demonacracy in action. If it weren’t for the teabagging patriots the speech that _would_ have been given would have been full of socialistic nonsense. Barak **Husssseeeeiiinnnn** Obama’s handlers couldn’t let him back out of the speech, that would have been too obvious. Instead, they changed it and watered it down (whew!) in a weak attempt to hide their malfeasance. Another victory for the voice of the people!!!

_scratches head_ Man, sometimes it’s hard to recognize sarcasm from brain-damage. Would someone put me out of my misery by telling me if **Rhythmdvl** is a sarcastic lefty or a brain-damaged righty?

My prediction–that Limbaugh/Beck will find some way to link this speech to Hitler, Marx, or both–stands.

I can’t speak for his political motivations, but that reads as sarcasm to me.

The giant headline on Drudge is:

> [@](#):
>
> **OBAMA LECTURE TO STUDENTS: WASH YOUR HANDS**

I guess because of this passage in the speech:

> [@](#):
>
> Maybe you’ll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn. And along those lines, I hope you’ll all wash your hands a lot, and stay home from school when you don’t feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.

Why Drudge thinks that’s an urgent headline is beyond me.

Psst. Senator Palpatine (and later Chancellor, then Emperor) was Darth Sidious. Vader was Anakin Skywalker.
