Unfortunately, it couldn't keep her attention. I think in a class room situation it would be different but having to sit on mom's lap while watching it was not as fun.<br /><br />Her school is suppose to show it to her this month but I can't remember when. They sent a form home for people who didn't want their kids to watch to send back. It is in the recycling bin.<br /><br />I didn't see anything that could offend but you know those nutters, they will find something. I thought he did a great job of trying to relate to the kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25082628.post-61591550204766554192009-09-14T20:15:54.426-05:002009-09-14T20:15:54.426-05:00Hi,

Every child watched with no Opt outs (though that could have happened) and the students were truly impressed -- the President of the US spoke with them. Most of them wrote letters to say thank you.Frank Remkiewicz aka “Tree”https://www.blogger.com/profile/00501821790434895826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25082628.post-59882139350818358122009-09-14T18:07:42.639-05:002009-09-14T18:07:42.639-05:00"Orock Obama." Ok, that's pretty ad..."Orock Obama." Ok, that's pretty adorable.<br /><br />I, too, don't understand why parents wouldn't want their children to hear what their president might say to them. On FB I asked some folks who were complaining about the speech prior to just exactly what it was that they thought the president was going to say that was so objectionable. Result - I got accused of polluting a friend's wall. Ok then.episcogalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00880107577218805616noreply@blogger.com
