Obama will speak to YOUR Kids... Did you know?

I agree, that if he wants to address the school age kids, he can do it on national tv, in front of everybody, with me in the same room as my kid so that I can throw the BS flag if need be. The whole "how can I help the president" deal is the reason why I made the comparison to "Obama Youth". It's not that bad, of course, yet, but no need for that door to even be opened. Ever. If it was a "how can I help my country" essay, I would be less against it. I support the saying of the Pledge of Allegience in schools, the rendering of courtesy to our flag, and patriotism in general. I do not support oaths, essays, or anything that directs patriotism to one individual.
Chicanery is a good choice of words.
