WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!!!!

WE ASKED FOR A CHANGE, SO LET CHANGE TAKE ITS PLACE IN OUR WORLD FOR THE GOOD, OF ALL MAN KIND. IGNORANCE IN POLITICS WILL ONLY KEEP US BLIND.

My reply to those that opposed the Presidents Speech to School kids is;

" There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance---that principle is contempt prior to investigation. " - HERBERT SPENCER

Before the contents of the speech was made public, there was those that couldn't see beyond their politics. WHY ?

To deny a child the opportunity to hear a motivational speech based on education and the need to stay inspired by, " THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ", no matter who he is, is sad. Then again, maybe those opposing the speech have their hidden agenda. Are there still those that are that bitter, that the voters have spoken, in electing our President?

Wow !!! Isn't it bad enough that the right to establish a personal relationship with the creator of the universe was taken away because of mans laws. Now we refuse to let the elected leader of our country inspire a generation of kids that are forced to live in a world that has become a challenge beyond understanding. Politics, Politics, Politics......

The man with the Unbreakable spirit has weighed in! :::Bravo::: The children today are the adults of our future. I know the exact time that it became unheard of for children the listen to a motivational speech from THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES ... Do you recognize the politics of the hate mongers? The media seems to be scraping the bottom of the barrels for United State constituents that will find fault in every venture of this mover and shaker. When Bush was in office for TWO TERMS declaring war and having limited motivational speeches for any citizen nobody noticed. I think that President Obama also spoke eloquently w/o a monitor last night about the present condition of The USA Health Care problems --I am in FULL agreement with everything that our president revealed about the state of health care in our great country! His promise to encourage less political agendas and more acceptance of what everyone already know as the TRUTH ... The state of Health Care in the USA is sadly one of the poorest for a country so great. For a couple of years we need to become a part of the solution NOT a great part of the problem. Start with the "Man In the Mirror" RIP Michael and God bless for all of the social awareness that YOU revealed in your lifetime of MUSIC

Peace,
Ev

Very well spoken. I too, agree with the Health Care concerns for the USA. It's sad that people are looking for ways to see our President fail. Politics or injustice in hot pursuit, to see, the race card played by the masters of deceit ?
