HI HATER!

"My President is black!" and his speech was GOOD! Despite the controversy surrounding President Obama's address to the nation's youth yesterday, President Obama delivered an encouraging message, explaining to them that:

"This isn't just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future" (CNN.COM).

I don't know if I missed something or if I was listening too hard, however, I didn't get the "socialist undertone" and hidden political agenda that some conservative parents shielded their school aged children from. Some even signed their children out of school early, so to miss the 20 minute speech (yes, an entire school days work to avoid a 20 minute speech...GREATNESS!) What I did hear though, was a well-spoken and meaningful note to students across the states, urging them to be their best and achieve all their goals. Inspiring.



A President has not spoken to the students of America in 18 years, there have been messages addressed to the parents and teachers, however, none to those who are effected the most. The last President wasn't exactly the shining of example of "studious" and after years of disappointment, finally, a man, a black man, that our nation's youth can look up to and aspire to be like. President Obama is to revered and respected for the greatness that he is. Like radio personality Michael Baisden said oh so perfectly, "If you don't like America's leadership, then YOU leave!"
