Sorry for my lapse of reasonable response on this, but this is what comes to mind:
"I don't want my kid(s) to hear Obama's speech because....
he's an illegitimate president [birthers]
he's not my president [political obstructionists]
he's a socialist/he's driving America to communism [political ignoramuses]
he's a black man [racists]
he's ruining our country [Chicken Littles]
he's the Antichrist [religious zealots]
he's a Muslim (i.e. a terrorist) [paranoid zealots]"
...
Sorry....
