White House Withdraws Call for Students to 'Help' Obama.. President Obama's plan to inspire the nation's schoolchildren with a video address next week erupted into controversy Wednesday, forcing the White House to pull out its eraser and rewrite a government recommendation that teachers nationwide assign students a paper on how to "help the president," the Washington Times reported.

I wonder how much of the youtube pledge video was being used in the POTUS classroom segment??

Here are the facts about the "I Pledge" video - if anyone is interested.

"I pledge to be a servant of our president." - 3:54 into the embedded video.
I think our POTUS should interact with the children of this nation,, But I am also leery of the left using subliminal and back-handed innuendo to alter what I think is a basic parents job. Do all parents do well,, NO,, look at the rising crime.. That does not mean the responsibility should be usurped,, and by a dicidely Left leaning education system,, Richard and a small minority excluded..
