They have this thing now in most states, it's called public television, educational TV. Most states now have TVs available to roll around to classrooms. Even us'n in the backward "crappy states". I bet some states have a TV in most classrooms. Plus there's video & radio streaming on the computers in the schools plus overhead projection that can be shown on big screens in the auditoriums, etc.
I'm sure a lot of the private schools will censor Obama.

You know what obama should go attack north korea give the rich a tax cut and forget about market reform. People it took 8 years of stupidity to get us where we at. If you expect to get out of this depression not recession in a few months you must not have pay attention to what happen this last eight years. It funny how now right wingers talk about that state we are in when this recession started back in december of 2007. The Major blow came when lehman and brothers collapse and the chinesse pull out half a trillion dollars in securitys. Before people give their opinion they should atleast know the facts not give their dumb opinion.

A four hundred thousand dollar a year salary isn't worth taking all this crap from the conservative far right loons. I say the president should've let the economy tank, as was predicted seven months ago, and let the chips fall where they may. I'm sure the wealthy would've also suffered from the collapse.

wtf happen to taking control of your kids and you being the teacher. How can someome be so afraid of a speech thats gonna be given once by the president. I can tell you this much my kids will not listen or obey anyone with just one speech. People what happen to accountability? You have your kids everyday and doctrinate them yourself to your thinking. Maybe the reason they are afraid is because they dont want them to see the truth or the argument on the other side. Now if those people wanna keep their kids home they should anyways your wacky thinking and politics already has them mess up. One day of school i guess wont hurt them right.

I think Conservatives are thinking strategy, don't give the Dems an inch, and maybe they'll win some seats next year, and maybe then they'll be able to put up a better more fact based fight.
