Was there any outrage about this guy speaking to school students? Did any of these parents cry on TV about it? Did parents have the option of pulling their kids? Oh, the humanity!!!! sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4455112

Did you expect everyone who was against Obama to look like David Spade in PCU? (Admit it, you kinda' did, didn't you? ;D ) I hadn't seen/heard of the mother you referrred to. That's fairly pathetic. Someone get Leslie Nielson to slap her. Anyone have a YouTube link? There's no crying in the PTA!! On the other hand, the moronic Broward County superintendant who made the event mandatory, even though the Education Secretary said it was designed to be 100% voluntary, also could do with a slap across the face, Airplane-style. I saw it on CNN yesterday -- interestingly enough, I found a very similar clip of the news item on CNN today, but it looks like it was edited to delete her portion. Perhaps she saw it and realized how ridiculous she sounded.

To answer the original question, I kind of hope the uniforms look like this: tinyurl.com/nlb6p8

I seriously doubt someone is tweeting "Dude, guess what our client said in his depo today..." Whatever it is, it better be less than 90 characters, because they just wasted 50 characters with that intro. As opposed to the rest of million tweets every day, which are so much more substantive

How is it appropriate for a county school superindendant to react to something -- even something designed to provoke -- said by the chair of a state party? Particularly when his "reactionary" move is in direct conflict with the policy, or at least guidelines, set forth by the Department of Education? I don't think it is appropriate. Make it optional, if some parents want to be dimwits and pull their kids out, let them, it's less of a hassle on the teachers who are going to have to deal with those parents all year long. But I also don't think they make it mandatory if the State GOP Chairman doesn't come out and accuse Obama of indoctrinating kids in a socialist agenda. It's backlash, to take a word Republicans love to throw around. In fairness to the GOP guy (I think his name is Greer), he did make two conciliatory statements. When the DOE rescinded the copy of the "lesson plan" about helping Obama, he said that it was more appropriate without that language, though he still had concerns. When he read the text of the speech, he said that he didn't mind having students participate in that and that he was encouraging his own children to watch the speech. Yeah, he lit a fuse. Maybe he shouldn't have. But he allowed himself to be corrected, and went on TV to say that he didn't have a problem with the speech. Mr. Broward County remained at DEFCON 2.

You forgot the part about how it came out that he was telling Clinton jokes to sixth grade classes.

Ed - you got that off of Drudge. Therefore it is "lunatic BS" and should be immediately discounted. You should know better. As usual, attack the messenger without addressing the substance. You do realize I was being sarcastic.

Creeeeeeeeeppppyyy.......
To be fair, you can't put this one on Obama, really...at least not directly. Something tells me though that parents in this school, or school district, are going to have some very choice words to their school board and elected officials about this particular teacher.
