What is wrong with this guy? Obama announced, on the 70th anniversary of the Soviet Unions invasion of Poland, that the United States will not be building the missile shield in Eastern Europe.
Why is Obama giving in to Russia and Putin? This is after Venezuela just announced that Russia will be helping them build Nuclear plants and they are also against sanctions on Iran.
Is this man trying to make it so that we are not a global power?
This defense shield would help protect the United States and Europe from rogue nations like Iran, but Russia is trying to become the Soviet Union again and will do anything to get there.
The State of Michigan has forced day care providers into Unions. This is all due to the UAW, Michigan Department of Human Services and AFSCME.
You have to watch this video.
Loar v. DHS from Mackinac Center on Vimeo.
This is just getting out of control. The Mainstream Media is saying it. Blogs are saying it. Democratic politicians are saying it. Now Jimmy Carter?
"I think an overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man, that he's African-American," Carter told "NBC Nightly News." "I live in the South, and I've seen the South come a long way, and I've seen the rest of the country that shares the South's attitude toward minority groups at that time, particularly African-Americans."This is bullshit!
CNN says maybe 10,000. The police estimate 1.2 - 2 million. I would side with the police. Check this video out.
How come CNN, ABC, MSNBC, CBS and all the other media outlets are not covering this? Only Fox is.
The Democrats should be scared.
This protester hit it out of the park. CNN should be ashamed of itself for trying to bate him.
Is anyone else sick of their tax dollars going to these thugs? I am. Watch these videos, they will disgust you. Then head on over to a new blog that is damn good. biggovernment.com
Don't forget, this is where Obama came from
Looks like Obama is taking a play out of Hitlers play book. Hitler had discussions like this with the Ayren youth.
What is his plan? What are these goals that Obama talks about? Could it be going home and trying to change their parents minds?
These kids are not yours to mold. Politics should stay out of the class room. Does anyone wonder why people would rather put their kids in private school?
This should not be played in that class room. I would have said the same as if it was Bush.
PreK-6 Menu of Classroom Activities:
President Obama’s Address to Students
Across America
Produced by Teaching Ambassador Fellows, U.S. Department of Education September 8, 2009
Before the Speech:
Teachers can build background knowledge about the President of the United States and his speech by reading books about presidents and Barack Obama and motivate students by asking the following questions:
Who is the President of the United States?
What do you think it takes to be President?
To whom do you think the President is going to be speaking?
Why do you think he wants to speak to you?
What do you think he will say to you?
Teachers can ask students to imagine being the President delivering a speech to all of the students in the United States.
What would you tell students?
What can students do to help in our schools?
Teachers can chart ideas about what they would say.
Why is it important that we listen to the President and other elected officials, like the mayor, senators, members of congress, or the governor?
Why is what they say important?
During the Speech:
As the President speaks, teachers can ask students to write down key ideas or phrases that are important or personally meaningful. Students could use a note-taking graphic organizer such as a Cluster Web, or students could record their thoughts on sticky notes. Younger children can draw pictures and write as appropriate.
As students listen to the speech, they could think about the following:
What is the President trying to tell me?
What is the President asking me to do?
What new ideas and actions is the President challenging me to think about?
Students can record important parts of the speech where the President is asking them to do something. Students might think about:
What specific job is he asking me to do?
Is he asking anything of anyone else? Teachers? Principals? Parents? The American people?
Students can record any questions they have while he is speaking and then discuss them after the speech. Younger children may need to dictate their questions.
After the Speech:
Teachers could ask students to share the ideas they recorded, exchange sticky notes or stick notes on a butcher paper poster in the classroom to discuss main ideas from the speech, i.e. citizenship, personal responsibility, civic duty.
Students could discuss their responses to the following questions:
What do you think the President wants us to do?
Does the speech make you want to do anything?
Are we able to do what President Obama is asking of us?
What would you like to tell the President?
Teachers could encourage students to participate in the Department of Education’s “I Am What I Learn” video contest.
On September 8th the Department will invite K-12 students to submit a video no longer than 2 min, explaining why education is important and how their education will help them achieve their dreams. Teachers are welcome to incorporate the same or a similar video project into an assignment. More details will be released via www.ed.gov
.
Extension of the Speech:
Teachers can extend learning by having students
Create posters of their goals.
Posters could be formatted in quadrants or puzzle pieces or trails marked with the labels: personal, academic, community, country. Each area could be labeled with three steps for achieving goals in those areas. It might make sense to focus on personal and academic so community and country goals come more readily.
Write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president. These would be collected and redistributed at an appropriate later date by the teacher to make students accountable to their goals.
Write goals on colored index cards or precut designs to post around the classroom.
Interview and share about their goals with one another to create a supportive community.
Participate in School wide incentive programs or contests for students who achieve their goals.
Write about their goals in a variety of genres, i.e. poems, songs, personal essays.
Create artistic projects based on the themes of their goals.
Graph student progress toward goals.
