They were scared of that speech and rightfully so. It'll take a brazillion stained dresses,

[zonkers]

dean screams, butterfly ballots and the like to ever undo the indelible and positive impression our dear president has left on the leaders of tomorrow. (Not that they won't try)

1. Their worst nightmare has happened. Kids think POTUS is cool.....n/t

[JuniperLea]

2. +1

:thumbsup:

3. Well, not walk-on-water cool. My h.s. daughter came home, and I asked

her how the speech was. She said it was "boring." Tough crowd.

4. She's right, they had to dumb it down to monosyllabic platitudes to please the

knuckledraggers. It was of course germane to America, well presented, and contemporaneous none of which impress schoolkids.

6. My daughter said, "I'm already doing or planning to do everything

he talked about." She's a sharp cookie, and he was talking to the not-so-stellar students.

10. The irony of course is that your kid heard it and didn't need it and some who DID need it

were prevented from hearing it. The "I don't want that guy influencing my children" idiots don't even realize they're shitting in their own messkits. Or those of their kids...

7. Not in connection with this speech,

but my 19 year old daughter has commented that it is the first time in her lifetime we've had a president and first lady who are "Hot!"

[Common Sense Party]

8. She's far too young to remember Camelot.

JFK and Jackie were a hot couple.

[Ms. Toad]

11. Funny - that was my response, too. n/t

[rucky]

9. The toughest. n/t

[MineralMan]

12. Teenaged girls are genetically evolved for boredom whenever

any adult is speaking. They can't help it. Teenaged boys are no better.

[Common Sense Party]

13. Teenaged boys at least pay a modicum of attention when a good-looking

female is speaking.

(One of the reasons Faux News is so pernicious.)

[zonkers]

5. Yup. They are screwn. Every kid 15 and older who sat through that will be of voting age

next Presidential election. Everyone 17 and older will be old enough to vote in midterms.
