Guess what? Liberals were right; there was no harm in President Obama's speech to American school students, at least after he was cornered on his "how can you help the president?" nonsense and forced to exclude it.
Many conservatives were outraged by the president speaking to their children. Obama actually is not the villain here. Take a look at what our teachers are subjecting our children to, via Gateway Pundit:
Sick. School Children Taught to Sing Praises to Obama
"The radical left is now teaching American youth to sing praises to Obama:

From the video: This was filmed around June 19, 2009 at the B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington, NJ.
'Barack Hussein Obama
He said that all must lend a hand [?]
To make this country strong again
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said we must be clear today
Equal work means equal pay
Mmm, mmm, mm!

He said that we must take a stand
To make sure everyone gets a chance
Mmm, mmm, mm!

He said Red, Yellow, Black or White
All are equal in his sight

Hello, Mr. President we honor you today!
For all your great accomplishments, we all [do? doth??] say "hooray!"
Hooray Mr. President! You're number one!

Hooray, Mr. President something-something-some
A-something-something-something-some economy is number one again!
Hooray Mr. President, we're really proud of you!
And the same for all Americans [in?] the great Red White and Blue!
So something Mr. President we all just something-some,
So here's a hearty hip-hooray a-something-something-some!
Hip, hip hooray! (3x)'
Of course, we've seen this sort of thing before.
"And, from Michelle Malkin:
More Dear Leader in the classroom: Obamacare propaganda pop quiz!
"From my friends at Smart Girl Politics, you’ll love the propaganda quiz that one student brought home from class after watching President Obama’s joint address to Congress on health care.
Here’s an excerpt:
Check out SGP for the rest of the story."
Can you even begin to imagine the hysteria that would arise from the left if this had happened during the Bush years? Not that it would have. Teachers are overwhelmingly liberal.

You know, you're so full of BS you must have brown eyes...
You rightwingnuts got all hysterical about a simple speech to kids from the President of the United States. You hate the man so much, you didn't want to let him even speak for 15 minutes to your precious little darlings. What nonsense!
And the question about "what can you do to help the President?" wasn't ever part of Obama's spech; it was on a list of possible lesson ideas issued by the Dept. of Education. And, in context, it was a perfectly proper question, since it followed: "What did President Obama ask you to do?" (take responsibility for your education, etc etc etc).
The song, on the other hand, was clearly Socialist and Communist and Godless, right? It asked little kids to kill their rightwingnut parents in their sleep, all for the Greater Good Of The State.
And the sheet about the healthcare speech is a common device on any kind of video shown in a school. The questions are designed not to elicit "compliance" of any kind, but to merely make sure that the kids pay close attention to the video. They're cues for kids to get involved in what's called "active listening" and it's a perfectly valid educational device WITHOUT any political leanings, one way or the other.
So is this "Rightwingnut Indoctrination in Public Schools"?
"Republicans have been in an uproar recently over video footage of children at a New Jersey elementary school singing the praises of President Barack Obama. The outrage has been fueled mainly by a constant drumbeat from conservative media. But on Friday it boiled over into the realm of political opportunism when the Republican National Committee sent out a fundraising appeal calling the episode an "indoctrination of our nations... children" and "fanaticism."
"Friend," RNC Chairman Michael Steele wrote, "this is the type of propaganda you would see in Stalin's Russia or Kim Jong Il's North Korea. I never thought the day would come when I'd see it here in America."
Alas, such "propaganda" has not been limited to despots, dictators and the Obama White House. As a savvy source points out, back in 2006 children from Gulf Coast states serenaded First Lady Laura Bush with a song praising the President, Congress, and Federal Emergency Management Agency for their response to -- of all things -- Hurricane Katrina. The lyrics were as follow:
Our country's stood beside us People have sent us aid. Katrina could not stop us, our hopes will never fade. Congress, Bush and FEMA People across our land Together have come to rebuild us and we join them hand-in-hand!
The event took place at that year's White House Easter Egg Roll and included roughly 100 children from Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. President Bush, it seems, wasn't in attendance during the song itself. But he was there earlier, when the First Lady read the book, Will You Be My Friend: A Bunny and Bird Story by Nancy Tafuri, to the children.
"After the reading," the Wall Street Journal reported at the time, "Mr. Bush asked, 'Did you like this book? Does it tell you about what people can do to help other people, what bird did to help bunny? Be kind to him and give him shelter.'"
The weather that day was described as a "chilly rain" which must have seemed appropriate given the fact that the Gulf Coast children were actually thanking the administration for its feeble response to the hurricane."

You Liberals try and spin the truth so much, that you don't even know where you stand. I'm talking about the radicals of course. But the truth is evident..there is an obvious indoctrination taking place in this country..whether it's through the school system,which is sickning and makes me want to knock blocks off, you see in on mtv and comedy central and several other tv programs. But i'm a realist and I can clearly see what is being attempted. Left wingers are embarressed by their country they don't like the moral fiber it so strongly represents. So they are making a strong attempt to "change" our great nation, a change that is immoral and if it is allowed it be the downfall of capitalism and the American Dream.
