I cannot believe it that people are afraid that a president is going
to make a speech to their children. Even assuming that the president
would say something with which a parent would disagree with, isolating
children from presidential speeches is an inadequate answer.

The better approach would be to explain to the children that not
everyone has to agree with the president about everything, highlight
differences between your opinion and the president's etc.

Trying to hide the president's speech from children is similar to
sticking one's head in the sand when you hear bad news. It is not a
productive approach and leads to living in an imaginary world.

Let's wait until the speech and then we can see if it is as evil as
some are expecting it to be. If it will be the case, then I will
adjust my understanding of reality, and if it is not, then those who
expected it to be evil, should adjust theirs.

It is a parents responsibility to shield their children from input that
the parents feel may be harmful to the child. that's the reason for
parental control features on electronic media.
I think the problem here is that the Obama administration has
injected partisan politics into everything they do, to the extent that
most of the citizenry suspects ulterior/partisan motives in everything
they attempt.
If BHO had made any attempt to live up to the transparency he
promised us, we might feel differently.
