What's being passed to this generation?

I hope you are keeping your opinion about President Obama (because that's what it is and all it is) out of your classroom. There are plenty who would argue that this president has made similar calls upon his country to sacrifice, be patient, and work together. Leaving aside Pres. Kennedy's assasination (which was obviously not in his control) can you tell me what Kennedy did that Obama has not? Pres. Obama overcame great odds, was--yes--a community organizer (Sarah Palin's contemptuous dismissal notwithstanding) and works every day to unite people. Moreover, it is very early yet in his tenure. I repeat, please keep your opinion out of the classroom and let our children make up their own minds under the guidance of their families.

"A man should be judged not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character" If these words by Martin Luther King are ignored, we'll wind up with a Barack Hussein Obama as president. "Sacrifice your freedom and monies to become one with the closeness and security only the unity of socialism can provide" is the only message of today. May God help America to survive this onslaught, because no one in Washington is doing a damn thing to prevent the fall of this country.

Glad to hear we've still got some good History teachers out there. Hope Mr. B is also making the point that JFK was a tax-cutter. Doubt he would recognize his own party today.

If our enemies want to ruin our great country, they better hurry because prezbho/biden and his crooked administration are going to beat them to it.

Right Hotfoot, we can't have teachers indoctrinating our kids. We save that for college and the "liberal" arts education where many professors profess and indoctrinate our youth into their way of thinking. I know I was at one time guilty but finally realized my role is to instruct and teach students what to learn and how to think, and not what to think. Pseudointellectuals like Ward Churchill made me realize how charismatic individuals can manipulate a student body into their way of thinking.

Obama has inherited more problems than Kennedy had to deal with. By the letter writer's admission, the Kennedy's were more about form than substance. The Bay of Pigs was certainly a disaster, although he was successful in the missile crisis. We'll never know what kind of President he would have truly been.

And prezbho is more about rhetoric/words than substance. prezbho knew the problems and still wanted to buy the election. Now he has to do the payback.

Hotfoot, though I was no Kennedy fan, I must say that he did far more to unite this nation than BimbObama willl ever do with his socialist agenda. We have never been more divided or a President so despised as the one you obviously voted for. Kenndy served his country and was a naval hero and knew first hand what our enemies could do to us. He faced off with the USSR to protect us which BimbObama hasn't had the gonads to do when they invaded Georgia. Kennedy NEVER apologized for being an American or for America as the current [filtered word] does daily, and certainly never bowed to some rag head potentate.

Wrong, Jack. I will put the depth of my despising of Bush right up against your loathing of Obama. He is overwhelmingly popular...just not in the cretinous South. BTW, Obama wasn't president when Russia (not the USSR, maybe you should get up to date) invaded Georgia. Your choice of words is scurrilous ("rag head potentate", BimbObama).

Article from Pravda 04/27/09. Putin warns Obama about going Marxist. Everyone can see it except the Communist Democrat party. Even Pravda talks about how fast Americans are losing their freedom. When Pravda starts publishing articles about how Marxist/Socialist America has turned in 150 days, WE should start paying attention. "American capitalism gone with a whimper " http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/107459-0/

In what way is the current president a "contrast" to those two great men? It seems to me that President Obama has spoken directly the American people, and and they have responded overwhelmingly and positively, especially young Americans. By getting the country healthy again, he intends to do what is best for Americans so that they can put their talents and abilities to use. That he is working on international peace and cooperation while trying to correct injustices and crises at home, puts him on a level with President Kennedy and Dr. King. Like President Obama, by the way, both of those great men were often rewarded for their efforts by being called "socialists" and "Communists" by contemporary ignoranti. Fortunately, the positive thinkers and doers carried out the hopes and dreams, just as our fine young generation will do today.

Mr. Barney, have you neglected to discuss/teach any of the history that has been recorded over the past 46 years. Your obvious love affair with the Kennedy administration and your apparent eagerness to denigrate our current president is quite telling. I agree with Hotfoot's 5:32AM post; and I would also encourage you to keep your personal opinions out of the classroom, please. GGpap

You've got to be kidding... prezbho says one thing and does another. He's taking over companies, telling them what to do and he's doing totally opposite. If you are happy with a dictatorship, you'll love this administration.

Interesting how southerners want to quote President Kennedy and MLK, now. Weren't these two men the most hated men in the South in the 50's and 60's?

gpap imagine you agreeing with hotfoot, hilarious--imagine that!

grouse, stop acting like Obama inherited the problems. He and his ilk were highly involved in the creation of those problems.

The mulatto mesisah has now identified his muslim heritage, training, practice, and reverence for Islam by announcing his pledge that the U.S.A. would never engage in opposition to Islam......the teachings of which are to convert Christians/Jews to Islam, and failing that to incarcerate Christians/Jews, and failing to control Christians/Jews through incarceration, the final step would be to eliminate/execute/murder all Christians/Jews. No one should ever mention the name of Prezbo in any comparison to the efforts of Rev. King or President Kennedy, whose plans were laid to unite the citizens, and to strengthen a free nation as opposed to the marxism/socialism goals of Prezbo. Pray that the U.S.A. can endure the rest of his one and only term in office and that we can repair the damage of his inane decisions.
