Some of you won't like this and will think it is off point or whatever, so save yourself some stress and don't read what follows.

The problem with Obama's speech to the schools is a problem for two reasons, one - over exposure with far too many contradictory statements. Two, people like Van Jones in his administration. Obama seems to lack moral clarity and conviction in my view. His administration immediately changed the "lesson plan" they outlined further illustrating the point and adding fuel to the fire started by those against him. Once, just once he needs to show he has a backbone and stand firm against his critics. He needs to lead. He needs to act like a President. In some other threads there are discussion about Glenn Beck, Rush, Hannity, etc., these people live for attention, the spot light and for a President to single extreme radio/TV talk show people out is beneath the dignity of his office further contributing to school systems and protesters to act against allowing the speech, they can change his behavior. The sad part is that he and others will walk away from this blaming others rather than placing the blame at the feet of the President.
