Then I see Mark Gibbs, the sneering, arrogant press secretary, calling it "silly season" that parents were a little miffed about what was going to be presented after the speech.
Hey Mark, if it's silly season then why did you guys have to change the after lesson guide?
On a side note, is it just me or does anyone else out there notice how most things emanating from the Obama white house seem to be peppered with a heavy dose of arrogance and belittlement. Politics aside, I am not comfortable with a president who always needs to be telling me that either he knows better than me, is better than me or knows that other countries do things better than my country.
The fact is that Obama has an extremely high level of education and I'm sure he does know a lot but nobody can be an expert on all things. Furthermore, not everything we are or have been doing is wrong and needs to be changed, overhauled and ran by the government.
After a while it just becomes all about him and his need to placate his ego by being in the center of everything. Bush figured out after 9-11 that his focus would be on foreign policy and that's what he did, rightly or wrongly. Yes, I can easily admit that a lot of his policies were not very good especially the Iraq war with Rumsfield in charge.

They are arrogant because they think they can push their agenda no matter what the people want. I think that they are finding that this may not be quite as easy as they originally thought. It seems that the people are waking up to the change Obama was talking about. He wants to socialize this country. So far he has made a good start. Like Hitler and others before him, he is going after the youth. He knows that he will have opposition from adults who know better. The way to gain complete control is to indoctrinate the children from an early age. Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Mao and others did the same thing. If Obama knew his history he would know that none of this has worked. Each of them thought that they had the answer to government control of the people. With their arrogance and his Messiah complex he probably thinks that his socialism will work where others have failed.
Freedom and the free market has worked in this country for more than 200 years. Our people built an empire out of the wilderness to become the greatest military and economic power in the world. Obama seems hell bent on destroying everything we and our forefathers built over the last 200 years. This country was based on Christian principles, yet he tells the world that we are not a Christian nation. He would like to change our history to reflect his godless values, if he has any. He has stated publicly that he is a Muslim when he was in the Middle East. Who knows what he really believes. One thing is for sure, he does plan on changing this nation if the people will only get out of the way. After all, Obama knows what is best for us. I think that similar statements were made by Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Mao and others. They all wanted to become benevolent leaders to the children. By getting to the children they can persuade them to do what they want. No dictatorship lasts forever. That is where Obama is heading.
