    What an inspirational speech. Did you all hear the kids screaming?

    You know, Rebecca, the kids are much better behaved than so called adults. One thing that bothers me, and it bothers me a lot, is the annyoing habit of people screaming and yelling when a politician, left or right, speaks. You can’t hear what they are saying. The kids here behaved politely and properly. They were listening to the speaker, which is what you are supposed to do in school.

    Fox interviewed three 10 yr olds afterwards asking them what part they thought was important. FYI, they had been taking notes. “Don’t quit on yourself” was one. “It’s important for the country that we study hard” was another.

    Why Rebecca would expect kids to scream I can’t understand.

    I think she probably meant screaming with delight. That is how I would have described it. They were very excited and enthusiastic after the speech. They were so excited when he came over to them.

    I thought they were very well behaved!

    Apparently (punny) there was a small protest outside the school.

    I feel bad for the kids.

    I think that there should now be a full blown investigation into the cost of this speech and weeks of hearings and testimony… http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/blogs/beltway-confidential/When-Bush-spoke-to-students-Democrats-investigated-held-hearings-57694347.html

    I think it is time for both Democrats and Republicans to stop with the stupidity. The independents are tired of the partisan politics.

    Hello, Do we have that much spare change sitting around?
