Yes, his ubiquity will I think be his undoing. It is becoming like background music that you eventually stop listening to. I wonder how many people listed to his speech last night; I know I didn’t. When the president is “ON” so much so that everything seems a crisis, then nothing is.

theblackcommenter: What I find interesting about Obama’s ubiquity is that as his exposure increases, his approval ratings decrease. POTUS and TOTUS are getting to be like the magician who gets hired for every kid’s party – the kids are sick of him, the parents are sick of him, and everyone has already figured out how he makes the coins “disappear.”

For every person who seems comfortable with Obama’s seeming omnipresence, I think there are several who grow sicker of his overblown promises and bromides each time he pops up on TV. I think at this point, his overexposure is more helpful than harmful to the right.

I’ll bet Mr. T didn’t use a teleprompter for his PSA.

I agree with you about the president’s address. It was innocuous feel good stuff. What is the bigger problem I think is the level of comfort the citizenry are beginning to have with the constant presence of the president. He’s everywhere. That’s unsettling. I also agree that schools are constantly indoctrinating students. It happened when I was in school so its no wonder so many kids become liberals.

Rob, I agree that there comes a time when one has to take a stand, and this is as good an opportunity as any. However, I question the timing of this speech, especially considering some schools weren’t back in session yet, and others were administering standardized tests. Is it out of the realm of possibility that this was a planned distraction from the health care reform issue? I don’t believe the Obama administration would be tone deaf enough to release lesson plans asking students how they can help Obama unless it was done deliberately to get conservatives outrageously outraged about something else.

Bam! Nice. But I think it’s also important to take a stand even with the indoctrination. Parents need to tell these semi-literate degenerates who end up as teachers (half of whom end up on crime blogs) that there is a line that won’t be crossed. Let’s try teaching some math instead of having some douche tell them they’ll get a better education if they just try a little harder, which is untrue as long as we have these piss poor teachers protected by their union thugs.

Gosh Tom, thanks so much for copying and pasting the same exact comment to my blog that you’ve left on at least a dozen others.

SUGGESTION TO THE RIGHT WING:

Just sit back and relax, folks. Barack Obama is only performing a routine presidential duty that has been performed by presidents for generations. There’s nothing to be afraid of. He’s not trying to turn your babies into mini Marxists. This isn’t the Trotsky For Toddlers program. The president of the United States merely wants to have a heart to heart talk with the children of America about the importance of a good education, that’s all. I promise you, we Progressives do not believe in evil, subliminal messages. Chill out!
