Taking off Obama-talks-too-damn-much hat/

It's just bad timing. His approval ratings have declined and clueless people are fighting at townhall meetings over healthcare reform that they haven't researched.

People are afraid that we've elected a socialist (we may have, time will tell) and that he is going to send some George Orwell vibes to the kids. "Stay in school so that you can pay for the healthcare of nonfamily members...and then we'll put a number on the back of your head."

The fear does not have to be well-founded or accurate. Fear usually isn't. But, I liken it to Bush giving a speech to the kids after America transitioned from thanking Bush for conquering terrorists to being pissed about the Iraq war. Did he give a speech then? I wouldn't know.

ETA: After all of this muchtadoboutnuthin, I hope his speech goes well and is well received, as other POTUS' kiddie speeches have been.
