Barack Obama's Speech to Students

Ain't school just full of surprises?

Yesterday, two homeroom classes- one of them being my own- all sat in the social studies room to watch President Obama's speech to students across the good `ol U S of A. I must say, it was quite interesting.
I've never been a big fan of politics, but listening to such a role model as the president tell all us students to stay in school was pretty cool! It's good to know that the president cares about our education ("Rarely is the question asked; is our children learning?"- George W. Bush. Yeah, glad he cares.). I think the speech was a very effective way to encourage kids to do their best in school, because Mr. Obama can actually relate to how we feel about school; he had to wake up at 4:30 in the morning, Monday through Friday, to be educated by his mother (he had to wake up that early because his mom had to work, or something). That makes waking up at 6:45 seem like sleeping in until ten! Anyway, he made some references to how kids dislike school, and blah blah blah.
Oh, what am I saying? I hate politics!
Anyway, I'd be glad to listen to you guys ramble on about your opinions on this speech. Comment away!

Yours in awesomeness,
