XActo thanks for posting the article. Mr. Mears says something very interesting toward the end.
================================================= This wasn't really about the propriety of a president speaking at a school or about what he might say that parents claimed they had to guard their kids against. It was about opposing Obama. There's nothing wrong with opposition. That's the way politics works. But the underlying tone of the most vehement critics goes past the traditions of politics to the idea that schoolchildren shouldn't be listening to this guy because he shouldn't be president. The office, whoever the man in the White House, always has commanded respect. That is eroding in the era of nonstop talk shows and angry blogs. It has been an American tradition for losing candidates in presidential elections to urge their followers to respect the outcome, to say that the winner is their president, too. Episodes like the school speech flap say something different. ================================================= Unfortunately, Obama came in at a very bad time. Two wars and an economy in the tank while billions were being doled out to wall street. He chose not to be a 'decider' and chose to let everyone play, well, that backfired. As to why people are opposing the 'socialist' agenda? This is my theory. Some people suddenly found themselves in an America that does not quiet fit their idea of what America should look like. Now we are asked to play nice on the playground and socialize with every one else. That is not sitting too well.
