PreK-6 Menu of Classroom Activities: President Obama’s Address to Students Across America
Produced by Teaching Ambassador Fellows, U.S. Department of Education

Before the Speech:
• Teachers can build background knowledge about the President of the United States and his speech by reading books about presidents and Barack Obama and motivate students by asking the following questions:
Who is the President of the United States?
What do you think it takes to be President?
To whom do you think the President is going to be speaking?
Why do you think he wants to speak to you?
What do you think he will say to you?
• Teachers can ask students to imagine being the President delivering a speech to all of the students in the United States. What would you tell students? What can students do to help in our schools? Teachers can chart ideas about what they would say.
• Why is it important that we listen to the President and other elected officials, like the mayor, senators, members of congress, or the governor? Why is what they say important?
During the Speech:
• As the President speaks, teachers can ask students to write down key ideas or phrases that are important or personally meaningful. Students could use a note-taking graphic organizer such as a Cluster Web, or students could record their thoughts on sticky notes. Younger children can draw pictures and write as appropriate. As students listen to the speech, they could think about the following:
What is the President trying to tell me?
What is the President asking me to do?
What new ideas and actions is the President challenging me to think about?
• Students can record important parts of the speech where the President is asking them to do something. Students might think about: What specific job is he asking me to do? Is he asking anything of anyone else? Teachers? Principals? Parents? The American people?
• Students can record a

Obama’s word is NOT gospel and responsible parents should not allow their children to be used as pawns in the Obama administration’s agenda.

Get your kids out of school on September 8, and show Obama and his minions that their attempts at indoctinating our children are not going to go on without a protest.

The liberal elite’s hypocrisy knows no bounds. Victor Davis Hanson’s article Our Angry Aristocracy captures that hypocrisy so well.

The last two paragraphs of that article:

Or is the new hypocrisy an eerie sort of psychological compensation at work? Perhaps the more Al Gore rails about carbon emissions, the more he can without guilt enjoy what emits them. The more Professor Gates can cite racism, the more he himself is paid to spot it. And the more a Tom Daschle wants to tax and spend for health care, the less badly he feels about his own chauffer and tax avoidance?

Here’s a little advice for all of America’s aristocratic critics: a little less hypocrisy, a little more appreciation of your good lives — and then maybe the rest of us will listen to you a little more.

Read it all here.

Obama denies that the health care reforms that he is touting is socialized medicine. He also denies that his health care plan, if implemented, will result in rationed care, rising costs, and increased budget deficits.

So who’s telling the truth? Obama or his critics?

President Reagan opposed socialized medicine because it does not lead to choice. It is just another means for the government to take away your liberties and to tell you what you can and cannot do with regards to your health care needs.

Reagan’s words are as fresh today as they were then.

It is simply delicious to see Nancy Pelosi writhe in her web of lies!

Was she informed, or was she briefed? Oh wait, she was misled! And the CIA lied! Yes, like they lied about the presence of WMD! She just had to throw in that zinger, didn’t she?

What a bold faced liar! She deserves to be hauled up in front of Senate hearing committee and let’s investigate, yes let’s investigate all those torture memos! Let’s find out her role in approving the enhanced interrogations techniques on those captured enemy combatants!

What say you that she had something to do with Obama doing a 180 about releasing those “torture” pictures?

With the announcement by Donald Trump today that Miss California, Carrie Prejean gets to keep her crown, the manufactured controversy surrounding her honest answers to that sodomite, Perez Hilton’s, question on gay marriage and the surfacing of nude pictures on the internet, will hopefully come to an end.

Kudos to Donald Trump for seeing the bigger picture and for seeing through the not so subtle attempts by the mainstream media and the homosexual activists, to villify and dethrone Miss California.

I love Donald Trump’s zinger about President Obama holding the same view as Miss California’s! “It’s the same answer the president of the United States gave,” said Trump. No kidding! How come Perez Hilton does not call the President on his stance on gay marriage? How come no one in the mainstream media ever said anything that Miss California’s view on marriage is no different than that of the President’s, Hillary Clinton’s and more than half of the people of California who voted for Proposition 8?

I can just picture tomorrow’s TV morning shows …. how disappointed those libtards on CBS’s Morning Show and those at NBC will be by Donald Trump’s decision to allow Miss California to keep her crown. They were so gleeful this morning when new nude pictures of Carrie Pejean surfaced! As for David Shuster of MSNBC, I wished he had choked on his vomit!

There’s one thing that is just so predictable with these liberals. They talk about tolerance and free speech, but only if you agree with them.

To many followers of Obama, he is the messiah, the Obamessiah. So is it any wonder that this false messiah, offering hope and change, would find it necessary to cover up the name of the real Messiah near the spot he is speaking to his teleprompter?

Don’t know what I am talking about?

How about this story reported by CNSNews.com – Georgetown Says It Covered Over Name of Jesus to Comply With White House Request?

If Obama objects to signs and symbols reflecting Christianity near him, he should not have spoken at a Catholic University. But then again, he has to cover up his ass after claiming that America is not a Christian nation.

So now he has to put to rest that niggling suspicion that some people have about him being a secret Muslim. Hence that speech, held at Georgetown University and making references to the Sermon on the Mount about building something on a rock …

No, of course the false messiah doesn’t want to share the stage with the name of the real Messiah behind him! There’s only room for one messiah at a time! And yes, he’s the one we’ve been waiting for!

Yeah. Right.

Someone on the radio said this morning – give Eric Holder, the new attorney general, six months, and see if he won’t be replaced.

What was all that talk about the country being a nation of cowards where the subject of race is concerned?

I agree with Rush Limbaugh today, he, Rush, is no coward. Look what his reference to race with regards to Donovan McNabe got him? Cries of racism!

Want to know who the racist is? Jeremiah Wright and ilks like him! And guess who sat in Jeremiah Wright’s church pew, for 20 years and soaked all that in? Obama, you betcha!

And when Eric Holder says we are a nation of cowards, he is actually saying we are cowards because we don’t agree with his view of how the subject of race should be treated! And that is treat minorities and their rights with liberal kid gloves, and bend over backwards to address their perceived grievances.

I like Ward Connerly’s reaction to what Eric Holder said.

The old saying, “be careful of what you wish for,” applies here.

In characterizing the American people as “cowards” for not openly discussing their attitudes about race, the attorney general seems to be be anxious to provoke a dialogue about the subject. Yet, there is no evidence, based on his presidential campaign, that President Obama wants to have such a discussion.

Moreover, it is difficult to have such a discussion when some with differing views are harshly and publicly attacked for their views. For example, when asked about my initiatives to end race preferences, candidate Obama labeled them as those “divisive Ward Connerly initiatives.” Such characterization is hardly consistent with the view that we should openly put our views about race on public display.

I also believe the attorney general is out of step with the majority of Americans when he implies that the source of and solution to most social disparities is race. I believe most Americans are no longer content with this line of thinking and its ultimate conclusion of race-based solutions to resolve these disparities.

I am sure there are lots of black people like Ward Connerly who feel the way he does about Holder’s speech.
