Obama addresses school kids- Full Video
THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat. How is everybody doing today? (Applause.) How about Tim Spicer? (Applause.) I am here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we’ve got students tuning in from all across America, from kindergarten through 12th grade. And I am just so glad that all could join us today. And I want to thank Wakefield for being such an outstanding host. Give yourselves a big round of applause. (Applause.) I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’re a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now — (applause) — with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you’re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could’ve stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning. I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived overseas. I lived in Indonesia for a few years. And my mother, she didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday. But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning …
Obama is sensational!
President Obama, who pledged to establish the most open and transparent administration in history, on Monday surpasses his predecessor’s record for avoiding a full-fledged question-and-answer session with White House reporters in a formal press conference.
President George W. Bush’s longest stretch between prime-time, nationally televised press conferences was 214 days, from April 4 to Nov. 4, 2004. Mr. Obama tops that record on Monday, going 215 days – stretching back to July 22.
demcorates and republican are all full of bs but whose worser? whose for prolonging a war that will will raises taxes on america and weaken the economy?whose the more illusive and secretive side…who raises energy prices?
Got elected..passed everything to congress..got on his airplane..kissed foreign butt..never has landed..blamed everything on congress. We pay for your jet fuel..enjoy that Thanksgiving party? Others were hungry. I’ll be glad when your party is over. Stay out of our schools.
OBAMA ROCKS!
LOVE YOU BARACK!!!

Your writing here damages Obama and the Democratic party. Your ignorance is evidenced by your complete disregard for the rules of grammar, indefensible political positions, and misreadings of history. I love how at the end of the whole thing you dig your hole just a little deeper by referring to Obama as a monarch. Way to steal credibility from those whom you support. The party is better of if you keep your opinions to yourself until you learn how to voice them.
I believe his in him. but i don’t believe in the congress.
Barack is such a cool dude
Are you kidding me. I think he is one of the best president in the history of America. He won the noble peace prize award in just less than a year. No president in the history has won noble peace prize in this latest century. Don;t talk about those oldies who are dead and gone. He even donated $100 Million to Haiti from his pocket. No presidnet has ever given one single shit from his pocket to any country in devastating situation Obama Rocks!! He is the King of America!! Michelle the Queen!!!
this classic from Sir Bill says it all my friend. respect.
One of my english classes were showing the speech at summerschool and our class teacher told us that we had to fucking finish our math test to see. thats bullshit.
You need to give him more than just a year. It took bush 8 years to fuck up this country. It may take Obama 4-8 more years to make it better. GIVE HIM TIME.
ask the teachers what they think..
Carlin much?
I think Obama is doing well. I’m proud to have him as my president in this difficult time.
This is a slight unmeritable man, meet to be sent on errands: and, though others lay these honors on this man, to ease themselves of divers slanderous loads, he shall but bear them as the ass bears gold, to groan and sweat under the business, either led or driven, as they point the way; and having brought their treasure where they will, then take they down his load and turn him off, like to the empty ass, to shake his ears and graze in commons.
why do you still have your job?
Obama is not so great. I thought he was a superman with the way the media was talking him up but his first year just shows he is ‘normal’. He is nice guy but I don’t see anything exceptional with him.
that’s very motivating
obamas “stimulous package” turned out to be a multi trillion dollar crap sandwich. jan. 20, 2013- obamas last day
@IAmManga even though I saport Obama I agree with what your saying. I think Obama just….he had that cool new president feel to him, you know?
@IAmManga and now Obama has the government funding drilling for oil and nuclear power plant. Cause the world isnt in enough pain.
WHAT A UN-UNIFORMED COUNTRY THIS HAS TURNED ABOUT TO BE WITH THE PRESENCE OF AN AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT…fucking suck it up and STOP BITCHING @ at every peice of negative garbage about our president…i am a white male 37 years old and OBAMA has done alot in the few days he has become president I STILL HAVE MY JOB…So Fucki YOU ALL….instead of complaining behind a fucking computer find out what the fuck you can do to make the country better assholes………sighned fed up sopporter~
Obama had the most money put into his campaign out of all the presidential candidates. That’s a fact. But presidents aren’t elected by the people anymore, they are selected by real rulers of this country.
Have we reduced the number of US soldiers in the middle east?
Has the PatAct been rescinded?
Has corporate influence been lessened?
Are we more free?
Are we wealthier?
Are we healthier?
Judge a tree by its nut, not its flower.
