President Obama's school speech is getting some adverse reactions from the public, conservatives are in a rage, some are also saying that it's bland and trite. Jim Greer, the chairman of Florida Republican Party said that "taxpayers' dollars are used to spread President Obama's socialist ideology." Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota said that "...it's disruptive, I don't think he needs to force it on the nation's school children." But Secretary of Education Arnel Duncan say's that the president's whole message is about personal responsibility, and challenging students to take their education very very seriously. Duncan added that the government want to see more high performance schools, more students improving their academic achievements, more students going to college and graduating. the transcript of Obama speech to kids can be found here.

Very inspirational speech I loved how he aimed for our kids of today to plan for tomorrow, its not giving them political empowerment or guiding them in the wrong direction as the media portrayed but its giving them hope that through all the struggles and storms you may cross you will come out the hero In the end way to go Mr. President.
