18. I couldn't take it

I tried to listen to her talk, but her voice is very soft and was not amplified enough for me to be able to understand much of what she was reading. Something I did hear, though, puzzles me.

She said (speaking of the joys and importance of raising children): "Show me your civic lesson, and I will show you the civic leaders of tomorrow; show me your history lesson, and I will show you the political leaders of tomorrow."

Anybody tell me wtf that means?

She also said it was important to bring up our children so they would be willing to sacrifice for our country.

She should have stolen yet another one of Michelle Obama's speeches. Not to mention one of Mrs. Obama's outfits.
