Will you keep your great great great grandkids home the day Obama speaks to schools?
I'm done communicating with people like this. In my view, President Obama's race is a factor in the concern and outrage being expressed here. I actually have more respect if they'd just admit it's a factor.
Question: Do we still have Presidential Fitness Awards in grade school? I clearly remember doing sit-ups as fast as I could to impress President Reagan.
His go-between was Stan Musial.

Musial came after Wilkinson, yeah. Ike didn't have a go-to guy, apparently.
It's so bad, that they can't allow their children to listen to the president because he's biracial.
Do they really think this making the republican party look good?
They are terrified because the minority will be the majority in 5 to 10 years.
In the very idea of losing control, they have lost their collective minds!
They know they have treated the minority in a despicable manner and what they are truly afraid of is retribution.
They assume that the minority is as hate filed and callous as they are.

In ruling on Greer's statement, we wondered whether we should give him latitude for legitimate commentary on Obama's speech.
But he crossed a line when he said that Obama intended to discuss "plans for government-run health care, banks, and automobile companies" and other policy matters not germane to education.
That is factually incorrect, and the party could not offer any support for the statement. For raising the specter of socialist ideology and indoctrination, the party takes its claim to an additional, absurd level.
We rate the Republican Party of Florida's statement Pants on Fire!
yeah, presidential fitness to be a COMMIE ! (or was that socialist...?)

Never. Especially not when hate radio is fueling the fires of racism.
They were raised to be progressive and I am proud to say their only complaint with President Obama is he might not be progressive enough.
The people who are pretending to be appalled at this (and, let's face it, this poutrage is as faux as the news on that channel) are the same hypocrites who insisted GWB be treated with the respect due the office.
Child: "Mom, why are you keeping me home from school?"
Mom: "Because the President is speaking to kids today about how they should stay in school."
It's amazing to me how instantly absurd the right's outcry has become. They have had a total and complete mental meltdown since November 4, 2008.
It's awesome, it's like them calling for an election!
And the attendance that those schools take on that day (and they all take attendance) will be the results of that election!
I love it... I predict right now that Fox and Republicans will crash and burn in next Tuesday's election, as always!
And don't be distracted by the few images they will broadcast of crazies and mental cases shouting and frothing at school officials on Tuesday... that's not the measure of how many kids are being kept from school that day, it would just be the meausure of how insane a few Fox-watchers are, that's all... the true results of this boycott, this 'election' that Fox is calling for on Tuesday, it's found in official attendance figures only...
Get ready for another crushing electoral loss Fox!
Does that sound like it is anywhere near the mark?
What's the matter? Is that all you can do? No opinion?
Just thumbs down to everything.
Man, gutless and with nothing to offer... gotta be a Republican.
