Not everyone has all of those views, and some hold those views to varying degress, but these people are out there and Obama knows it. It should not be a surprise that Obama will face opposition. He will face it in every thing, everything he does. The problem is not having opposition. The problem with Obama is how he handles it.

WTF...are you really that disengaged from reality?
Presidents speak to the American people....of all ages. One may not always agree with the speaker, but to question that the event comes with the job title, President of the United States, is nonsense. In 1988, when Reagan held such an event, I dont recall there being such a national uproar from the left to such an innocuous event.
The screaming and ranting on the right is pure political theater and hypocrisy at its finest.
Beyond the hypocisy, IMO, its another example of the intolerance of some on the right....not wanting to expose their children to an address by the leader of the country -- to focus on staying in school and studying hard to succeed - if they dont agree with his broader policies and actions.

For the record, a transcript of the Reagan event:

The President. You know, this is a real treat for me -- having you here and to have, in a little while, the chance to answer some of your questions. Let me also offer a special hello to those of you who are watching on C-SPAN and -- or the Instructional Television Network. Thank you for inviting us into your home or your school today.
This marks the beginning of American Education Week, and I'm particularly pleased to be talking to American students in this, the first in a series of speeches that I'll be giving before I leave office...
