President Obama makes historic address to Nations Students



On September 8, 2009, President Barack Obama delivered a national address to the students of America. During this historic address, the president spoke directly to the nation's children and youth about persisting and succeeding in school. The president challenged students to work hard, set educational goals, and take responsibility for their learning.


Many schools across America denied students to hear the live address, in fears of the President's speech would somehow brainwash children politically. The speech was nothing of the sort, but simply motivational, moving and inspirational. Now you too can hear the speech in its entirety and judge for your self.

    I have no doubt that the parties involved in bashing the President's speech on education are racists.
    Many are so absorbed with the fact that there is a black president in charge rather than the principles.
    His speech was not new. In fact his agenda is not new, rather it be about healthcare or the economy; but he is!
    He is a very new face in the country as well a globally. He has been scruntinized 100 times more than any president begining with his first 100 days in office. If people could just ignore the face and the race they may be able to hear and see we are all on the same page afterall. We as Americans, no matter the race or ethnic background desire the same things, have similar concerns and share many of the same values.
    I appreciate my current president and any president, regardless of race, creed or party that has the people's best interest at heart.
