Obama Back-to-School Speech

The flaws in the Republican arsenal of stupid arguments:
  1. Lesson plans issued by the Department of Education asked students what they could do to help President Obama. As if any teacher would blindly follow a template lesson plan without modification and review.
  2. Lesson plan implies the speech would push partisan politics. PROVE IT. Lesson plans don't prove this point in any way. You're making an inference based on a personal leap of faith that Obama has bad intentions in making such a speech, which is difficult to believe or prove.
  3. Somehow Obama would convince students to submit to his policies. I'd love to see a speech where somehow your goal was to brainwash students into submitting to political ideology without being blatantly obnoxious.
