We have heard about this speech for a long time, way too long in my opinion, and the consensus is in. Yes conservatives, you can come out of your bunkers in Wyoming and send little Jimmy back to school because there are no socialist agenda fist-pounding moments and no brain-sucking Marxist remarks. There is just one man � ��" the President � ��" giving a speech about staying in school.

Schools sent out permission slips to parents, Pinellas County offered excused absences to students and some schools just flat out refused to show President Barack Obama's speech. After all the hype, I am left wondering just what it was all about.
The speech had no socialist agenda and only the best of intentions: getting students to realize that the circumstances of their life are no excuse for not trying in school.
