Dear Leader for 8th graders

Imagine if this was John McCain.....

Apparently a brand new literature book for 8th graders in Wisconsin comes with a 15 page section on Obama. It's a repeat of his 2004 Democratic convention speech. How convenient to have it come out just in time for the election. Once again, coincidence rears its ugly head. I mean, what other purpose would someone publish in its entirety, with pictures, Obama's speech than to get 8th graders ready for an Obama presidency. This is a really bold foray into indoctrination. You wonder why people are worried about Obama becoming president; children are now being taught the wonders and promise of Dear Leader Obama. I mean, he hasn't even been elected, and a textbook already contains 18 pages on Obama; considering the lead time in preparing and printing a text book, you think the person responsible for the book expects Obama to lose?

Seems like that book is a collection of stories, poems, articles and speeches. So it makes sense to include a beautifully written speech in such a book. Is there actually any point to this story, other than OMG PUBLISHING COMPANIES ARE IN THE TANK FOR NOBAMA!!!!!!111

The only reason it's not McCain is because he hasn't given any speeches like Obama's 2004 speech. Has he? Maybe his apology for the Keating 5, but other than that...

It's just funny, that's all. And it's not simply just a speech, it's 15 pages of devotion to Dear Leader and designed for children to get ready for him to ascend to his throne.

Surely they could find 15 pages from one of his books about sacrifice and honor and duty. Instead, they get 15 pages from a guy who doesn't care what he has to say to fool people into voting for him.

Wow, talk about cynical. And blind. With language like that, I'm glad you don't pretend to be objective.
