Thread: Presidential speech to our children.

When is the man going to just shut his mouth and start doing his job? That would be setting a really good example.

I skipped the american schooling system, what is the job of the president of the United States of America?

Read Article II of the U.S. Constitution: Article Two of the United States Constitution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I read article 2 and it sounds to me that his job consists primarily of talking and an occasional very brief writing.

Now, what did I miss?

Cite the section you read in the Constitution about the executive talking to our school children.

Please, I hope you spend that day doing something really valuable like reading Ayn Rand novels and studying trickle down economics.

Fight the power!

Or maybe I'll continue doing the alternative high school classes I paid $2300 out of my own pocket for so I didn't have to put up with that ****ty no child left behind bull**** and morons for teachers and peers.

And while we're at it I'd love for you to tell what is so important about listening to our current president, as the youth I am?


If I need life advice, I have parents, I have religious leaders, I have older brothers and friends, I have people here on these forums who have given me invaluable advice, I don't think Mr. Obama has any more "life experience" than a single one of the above.

I'm sorry, but not only would this speech be a waste of time that should be spent on academics, which the governmental educational system is severely lacking, it's either the President trying to impart wisdom and life advice, or it's a political play like what Hitlers administration (though to a lesser degree) applied.

Neither of which I'd be very fond of attending.

And in case you didn't know, the United States was founded on fighting the system. I realize you probably went to a government funded school and didn't learn this, but it's true. We actually had to kill people and abolish government to make the U.S. Wow, who would have thought?

Sorry, but if I want to hear Obama talk, I'll watch it on TV or the internet or I'll go watch in person, it doesn't need to be played in schools that have strict attendance standards and absence policies. Just the fact that they would TRY and do that, whether I wanted to hear the speech or not, would set me on my toes. There is absolutely no reason this needs to be played in school.

Obama wants his fingers in every pie, the ultimate government nanny.

I think Ayn Rand's character John Galt said it best: "Get the hell out of my way!"

I actually couldn't find any. I guess he is only allowed to talk to senators, judges and military. Oh and people he makes treaties with.

I very much wanted to find his work hours in the constitution, but I really couldn't. I am a bit worried when he can talk to his wife and children if the constitution doesn't list them explicitly and doesn't provide for any off-duty hours. Could you help me understand how it works?
