I agree with you but in principle, if you continue the policy and practice of the previous administration then they de facto become your responsibility and you have to assume responsibility for them. Otherwise you have the power to terminate them or at least make it well known that you are supporting them but want them to stop immediately.

Radar's been around. He's hardly "former." Last log-in...today!

True, he ran for the job knowing what he was facing.

Back to the non-story of Obama Obamanizing our school children:

Quote:
Schoolchildren across the nation "will be forced to watch the president justify his plans for government-run health care, banks, and automobile companies, increasing taxes on those who create jobs, and racking up more debt than any other president."

Did I hear the words Uncle Tom somewhere before?
This guy is a true abomination!
What Americans won't do to make a buck, huh.
Capitalism a it's best or worst?
I like how he uses Mack Daddy but "He" is a half breed? Whole thing doesn't make any sense. Propaganda at work again.

One of the great things about America is that you have the freedom to hate whoever you want.

Our schools are not broadcasting the speech. I think they got it right. Let the parents decide if they want their kids to watch it. It isn't up to the schools.

I don't see a problem with the President addressing school children about the importance of education. I'd have a serious problem if he was talking about policy, unless it was as part of a class on politics and citizenship and was primarily structural in nature.

When I was in third grade the President addressed school children about drug use. We not only were ushered out of class to watch it, three of us were interviewed about our opinion on his speech for the local evening news.

It isn't a problem. The problem is the right wingers fabricating bullshit lies, just to cause as much trouble as they possibly can. To create as many diversions as possible from the business at hand, by misinforming the gullible, racists, and people with selfish agendas.
