After carefully reading the speech, I must now publicly admit that I am convinced, as God himself is my witness, that Barack Hussein Obama is indeed going to be using his taxpayer funded bully pulpit to indoctrinate our nation's most precious asset, the youth of today, into his atheistic socialist ideology.
Two socialist themes are woven through the text. Keep in mind these two ideas; collectivism and Marx's old adage "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs."
I mean how do you explain away this paragraph as anything OTHER than socialist indoctrination? Look at this paragraph:
We need every single one of you to develop your talents, skills and intellect so you can help solve our most difficult problems. If you don’t do that – if you quit on school – you’re not just quitting on yourself, you’re quitting on your country. [emphasis added]And this:
And even when you’re struggling, even when you’re discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you – don’t ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country. [emphasis added]Did you see that?? He wants the youth of today to do their best to help out the rest of the country. Not as a free-market entrepreneur generating the profit that'll keep our economy the envy of the world but for the sake of the common good. He's saying from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs as sure as I'm sitting here. That's COLLECTIVISM, my friends. And it's a short red-hop from guv'ment ordered collectivism to the Marxist-Leninist gulag.
Because that's what'll happen, my friends. Trust me - I know better than you.
This is only the narrow edge of the wedge. The wedge being set between us and the Constitutional rights the Kenyan-borne Barry is doing his best to erase.
Keep your kids out of guv'ment schools! Resist the indoctrination! Universal Health Care is unconstitutional! Get us out of the United Nations! Don't let them fluoridate your water! Resist - none dare call it treason!

I never heard of Collectivism before today, but it sounds a lot like "Country First" to me.
Looks like the progressive's George H. Bush did it excuse is now "no longer operative"

Democrats, then the majority party in Congress, not only denounced Bush's speech -- they also ordered the General Accounting Office to investigate its production and later summoned top Bush administration officials to Capitol Hill for an extensive hearing on the issue. ...
The day after Bush spoke, the Washington Post published a front-page story suggesting the speech was carefully staged for the president's political benefit. "The White House turned a Northwest Washington junior high classroom into a television studio and its students into props," the Post reported.
With the Post article in hand, Democrats pounced. "The Department of Education should not be producing paid political advertising for the president, it should be helping us to produce smarter students," said Richard Gephardt, then the House Majority Leader. "And the president should be doing more about education than saying, 'Lights, camera, action.'"
Democrats did not stop with words. Rep. William Ford, then chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, ordered the General Accounting Office to investigate the cost and legality of Bush's appearance. On October 17, 1991, Ford summoned then-Education Secretary Lamar Alexander and other top Bush administration officials to testify at a hearing devoted to the speech.
HTTT, I don't think the progressives need an excuse particularly. The charge at the time against GHW Bush was that his speech was an attempt to drum up votes for the upcoming Presidential election. I would say that was a pretty silly charge, but a lot less silly than saying "the Obama Administration is using its power in unprecedented ways, this time injecting itself into the nation’s classrooms". Looks like the reactionary’s argument is now "no longer operative".
Never in my life has anyone told me that if I quit on myself, I quit on my country. No. They told me if I quit on myself, I quit on myself. "To thine own self be true." Not, 'to thy country be true'.
You are right. This was communist/Marxist mumbo jumbo. And it sounded so common that nobody even batted an eye.
Wake up people! Did you ever hear this kind of talk when you were in school? Is that what you live by today?
You know what I have heard a President say? "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country."
Marxist/Socialist indoctrination??
I regret I have but one life to give to ... myself?
Oh yeah, very pirate-y
