"Reagan Gave Obama-Like Speech To Schoolchildren In 1988"

Thursday, September 3, 2009

My god, a president speaking to "classrooms all over the country", can you imagine such a thing? Apparently, it's only ok with the right wingers if a Republican president, someone like Ronald Reagan, does it. What else is new?

UPDATE: Check out the insanity in Loudoun County, including the classic quote by a "mother of 12": "This kind of political access to the minds of our young people smacks of propaganda and Big Brotherism." Just like when Ronald Reagan did it, right?

UPDATE #2: Here's video of George HW Bush addressing school classrooms across the nation on October 1, 1991, just as the 1992 presidential campaign was kicking off.


UPDATE #3: More on Reagan's speech is available here, including his preaching the gospel of "America's revolutionary economic message of free enterprise, low taxes, and open world trade" to America's schoolchildren. Did liberals go apeshit when Reagan did this? Hmmmm...nope, didn't think so.
