Dear Mr. Obama,
Your State of the Union address was dry as toast last night. In fact, I would rather have jumped through a meat grinder than listen to you prattle on about your ideas and what you consider our country's "handicaps." The U.S. falls 9th in the world for math and science scores? Guess what, you hosebag, we educate ALL children. I'd like to see your self-righteous, crunchy granola, liberal self get up in front of a classroom and teach kids who come to school with no winter coat, who haven't eaten in 24 hours, who don't have two parents at home, who lack the familial support to encourage them to do well and succeed. Or children who are reading three grade levels behind, haven't memorized their math facts, or have a disability/ies that may inhibit their learning. We educate them all. Mr. President? Do us all a favor and shut your pie hole about America's "lacking" education system. We do our best, and we don't suck. YOU DO.
Another thing, nice comment about how we shouldn't celebrate the winner of the Super Bowl, but rather the "winner of the science fair." You got a flipping standing ovation for that (but no one ever said members of Congress were intelligent...) What, exactly, was the intent of that comment? To touch people's emotions and make us feel all warm inside? My fifth graders could have wrote- and delivered- something more meaningful. You're talking down to us. I think it's time you bury your ego somewhere where no one can find it, start listening to the people of this fantastic country, and admit defeat at this Presidency.
Respectfully,
Emily Schmitz
P.S. No one cares that 98% of South Korea has wireless internet access. NOT RELEVANT. In fact, in regards to your speech, I'd like to file that under WTF?
