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.
