Watching the President Through The Eyes of Sarah

Hi Everyone,

Well, now that I'm back at school, and going to work, I'm gonna have to start blogging in spurts, but it'll be no less good. Anyway, tonight, I'd like to share with you a short little video on President Obama's recent speech to the nation's schoolchildren. It features a 9-year-old girl named Sarah, from Oklahoma, sharing with us her thoughts on the President's speech. I thought, at first, she would be spouting some dogma about him, but it turns out she had some good responses.

She stated that her favorite part of the speech was where Obama talked about how years ago, the people who invented Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and all went to school way back when. Then he said "what will you have invented 20, 50, 100 years from now?" Also, notice how she talked about the other kid whose parents wouldn't let him watch the speech. An interesting take on the brouhaha around a fear of indoctrination. Well, enjoy; I'll have more in-depth stuff for you soon.

  1. Dear D.R.,
    Sarah is just a cute as a bug's ear. Her entuhusiastic response to Obama's speech is exactly what the president had in mind in addressing students, at least in my opinion.
