I Hope Everyone Reads This

This will be a short entry. This one doesn't need to be long.

This speech was so awesome and both simple and significant at the same time. Anyone who was opposed to the President's speech should wear a bright white T-shirt with bold black lettering that says "I am an idiot." All the crap that was being spread around about the President trying to indoctrinate students into some political agenda was just that, crap.

There wasn't a single political element to the President's speech. It was a much needed and overdue call from the rightful leader of this country to the young people who represent the future to focus on themselves for the good of the country. It's too bad the parents of this country don't provide the same kind of leadership to their children.

I applaud the President for making this speech. It may not be recorded as a significant event in the history books of the future, but it still sent a much needed message to the young people who are constantly bombarded with negativity and escapism by a sensationally addicted media. President Obama should make a speech like this every month of the school year until each student is convinced that he or she is important to the future of this once great country and that each of them can make a positive contribution toward reversing the decline that my failing generation is passing on to them. They must take responsibility for themselves and my generation must take responsibility for failing the those who will come after us with our complacency, laziness and collective willingness to embrace ignorance.
