Obama’s Speech to Our Children
September 8th, 2009
I didn’t vote for him, not because of his party, but because he supports abortion. The next election, unless he changes that stance, I probably will vote against him again.
Do I think he’s a bad president? No. I don’t want his job and I can’t tell him how to do it. But I pray for him (and not just for him to change his mind on certain issues) every night.
Do I think his speech to school children will corrupt them with his political agenda? Well, I just read the text, and if he stays anywhere near it, nothing much about it will go against my views.
I saw a news report featuring a young mother, in tears because she doesn’t want her children indoctrinated by Obama’s agenda. Her words. She was wiping her face, a bit incoherent. I wonder if she’ll read it online before she decides to keep her children home for the day.
I’m rather looking forward to my youngest’s reaction this afternoon. Granted, she’s not an impressionable elementary school age child, likely to fidget after the opening and begin to dream of what games she’ll play come recess. Although she might use the time to dream of something, and not pay attention. If she listens, and I sent her off this morning with the request that she does, IF she should have the chance to hear the speech, I’m hoping President Obama inspires her. She started this year with a much better attitude and a resolve to work hard, and I think this will encourage her.
Do I think she’ll turn into a Democrat? (We vote conscience, not party). I’m not really worried about that. I’d rather she turn into a thinking adult.
This speech might help her along that road.
