His basketball game and grooming habits are not what I was referring to.
I re-read post #121 and I guess you are referring to:
"2) A "homework assignment" was released to the districts which was written in cooperation with the White House which included the question (out of context) "What can I do to help President Obama?" and "What is President Obama asking of me?" No copy of the speech was provided, only the homework assignment."
This should not upset anyone no matter which President asks it. Obvious answers would be "I can help President Obama by staying in school and encouraging my friends to as well and President Obama is asking me to stay in school, study hard and listen to my teachers".
I can't understand why anyone would not just assume the President (no matter who he or she might be) was going to give an inspirational speech to school chiildren.
