Subject: this article is sure making the rounds today
In reply to: Hogarth 's message, "When Bush spoke to students, Democrats investigated, held hearings" on 12:57:55 09/08/09 Tue

I will never oppose any elected president giving a speech to students on the importance of education. Period. Any fuss created will always be, in my mind, ridiculous. In regards to the article linked, I can at least understand an argument about dollars used before I will understand people throwing around words like "brainwashing."


Unfortunately for Ford, the General Accounting Office concluded that the Bush administration had not acted improperly. "The speech itself and the use of the department's funds to support it, including the cost of the production contract, appear to be legal," the GAO wrote in a letter to Chairman Ford. "The speech also does not appear to have violated the restrictions on the use of appropriations for publicity and propaganda."

I don't care what your politics, to be spoken to by the President of the United States is an honor.
