#1 Zero's supporters have seized on this issue to complain about the 'sudden' disrespect shown to the office of the presidency. This was pointed out to the viewers of Face the Nation by the assembled panel.

Crock of shit unless you've forgotten the Left's fondness for Bushitler, etc.

#2 I'd rather he did focus on "something silly" like this speech. The nation can't afford Mr Duncan concentrating his time and energy on bringing the rest of us to that stellar 60%+/- high school graduation rate he had at his previous job.

#3 Yeah, other than the Dear Leader Addresses the Children of the Proletariat aspect, the whole thing is pretty silly.

#5 Disrespect for the Presidency? How could anyone get wee wee'd up about that?

#6 Of his own public school experience, he appears to be quite proud of the fact that although he was a cokehead, he rejected heroin. Maybe he'll mention these tidbits from his book to the kids.

"Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though," he says.

"We were always playing on the white man's court . . . by the white man's rules," he writes. "If the principal, or the coach, or a teacher . . . wanted to spit in your face, he could, because he had the power and you didn't. . . . The only thing you could choose was withdrawal into a smaller and smaller coil of rage.

"And the final irony: should you refuse this defeat and lash out at your captors . . . they would have a name for that too. Paranoid. Militant."

#7 Arne ran the worst school system in the Milkey Way Galaxy! 47% graduation rate, gangs dealing and shooting all day long, phoney grades, they even corrupted the ACT and SAT! all for 5.1 billion in localtaxes each year.

The law that created the Dept of ED specifically prohibits the Dept of Ed to engage in curriculum.

But laws are for the peasants.

#8 It's not the first speech that is disturbing. It's the precedence it sets for the second, the third, the fourth, and however many more he deems needed to reach "his goal."

This is just one of many action steps in meeting his goals --- a Bill Ayers/Saul Alinsky type take over.
