I think this whole topic is absurd. I believe it says a lot about the political environment we are currently in, and it's not a good thing. I was hoping that Obama could bring some decency to the table. If anyone was going to be able to do it, it was him. This tells me it's *never*freaking*happening* unless there's some sort of divine intervention. I mean really, people getting this upset over The President of the United States *talking* to children because somebody put something in a memo.
So either I'm forced to believe that the political environment is nothing but a bunch of power-hungry win-at-all-cost tear-everything-down piranhas, or I'm forced to believe that our president has some ulterior egotistical motives and is too evil and harmful to the country to be allowed to speak or ask anything of the poor children.
I've obviously decided that it's piranhas and not presidential indoctrination, but no matter which it is, it's bad, and I should probably just look out for me and mine, and let everyone else go lie in the bed they've made themselves. It's only logical.
