      Now all Obama needs to do is say "Don't smoke weed" and then he can rally some bipartisan reform to make marijuana legal.

        If you want to see the flip flop of the century, get President Obama to speak out about being healthy. It'll be great fun watching these reichwingers shove handfuls of McDonalds burgers in their mouths out of spite.

            Granted, limbaugh is an exception.

            But man, think of the fun we can have! Obama could give a speech about the virtues of cheating on your wife and poof! The right would all of a sudden live up to their marraige vows! I can see it now!

        God help us all if Obama ever speaks out against gang violence, though I think it might be entertaining to see the lily-white Fox crew flashing gang signs as a show of support to their brothers in oppression.

        Ah, good catch, my Prince. I didn't notice that it was during the summer.

        I was only going to comment on another part of their false comparison, the appeal of an inauguration vs. a funeral to schoolchildren, and the solid backup of "Reagan- not so much" vs. "Obama - school stopped!".

      In 1986 when the Challenger blew up, my teacher brought in a tape and played it for us. We spent most of the day talking about it. Nobody's parents called the school in disapproval or threatened to remove their kids from class. Oh, by the way, this was 2nd grade. I imagine it was much the same after 9/11. So, it is okay to let our nation's children watch national tragedies unfold but not let them be addressed by their president on the subject of the importance of good grades and staying school? We have truly stepped through the looking glass.

      Yeah Obama is now starting cults with school kids. TSK, TSK, TSK. I think your news station beat Obama to that finish line a long time ago.

      I did not see kids out of school during Reagan's funeral. OOPS! It was summer break so there was no need to stay in school so kids can get released.

      I love Fox!

      Reagan did this in order to push his tax cut philosophy in 1988. He had a question and answer time with students from 4 schools. Guess it's okay if he does it.

        The GOP is like the townspeople in Blazing Saddles when the name "Randolph Scott" is mentioned. They all take off their hats and cover their hearts. Except the GOP does it when "Ronald Reagan" is mentioned.
