Large Majority of Americans Supports President Speaking To School Children

[Joanne98]

SurveyUSA is asking about the “controversy” of OMG! the President’s address to kids about responsibility and staying in school. They are surveying cities in different states. Will the media even notice? The results are a relief to me. I was beginning to think the country had gone stark raving mad.

These are all conservative areas of the country. Nothing terribly unusual in these results. There’s that 30% or so living in fear of commies under their beds; about half of that number are the always irrational and hateful. There are those who lost the election and just can’t be civil about it. Meh.

6. Because they're organized and we're not

They've spent the past eight months pulling themselves together and they're ready when some opportunity like this or health care reform or whatever pops up.
