Obama Speaks to Schools? Demand Your Right to be Stupid

CensorChild285I have commented on a lot of off-the-wall stupid things people have done in this country. The Slow Bleed is an equal opportunity opinionated site. That means I have no problem pointing out stupid crap from either side of the aisle, any race, any religion (or lack thereof), and even stupid stuff I do. For some reason, this one seems to take the cake.

Today President Obama makes his speech directly to public schools. The announcement of his speech led to a massive amount of people (and schools) condemning the man. How dare the President of this great country talk directly to American students about things like “staying in school” and “raising the bar.” – What the hell is he thinking?

“Raise the bar?” My kid is OWED a nice life. (Special Slow Bleed Alert: Your kid is “owed” a big cup-o-jack). [Read more...]

Obama: State of the Industry Address

Madame Speaker, Mr. Vice President, Members of Congress, and the First Lady of the United States:

I’ve come here tonight not only to address the distinguished men and women in this great chamber, but to speak frankly and directly to the men and women who sent us here. 

I know that for many Americans watching right now, the state of our economy is a concern that rises above all others.  And rightly so.  If you haven’t been personally affected by this recession, you probably know someone who has – a friend; a neighbor; a member of your family.  You don’t need to hear another list of statistics to know that our economy is in crisis, because you live it every day.  It’s the worry you wake up with and the source of sleepless nights.
