Apparently the president can wage war on a country that did not attack us, authorize torture on detainees, and tap our phones without a court order, but he better not speak to our children about the importance of education, got it.
"Flunk the Far Right" is an article from "The Daily Beast" about President Obama’s back-to-school speech. The article talks about how ridiculous partisanship has become. These days every word that comes out of the president’s mouth apparently has some hidden, dastardly agenda behind it. He compares this controversy to past presidents and asks the question, would this be an issue if someone else were saying it? However, the author does not believe this is just a far right issue. If George W. Bush had made a similar speech, the left would have caused an uproar. The real problem is that these days we focus more on the Presidents so called "motivation" rather than what we should focus on, their policy.
You should read this article because it is proof that just because you call yourself a republican or a liberal, that doesn't mean you should agree or disagree with everything the president says or does. For example, the author, Mark McKinnon, is a republican and has worked for republican presidents like George Bush and John McCain. Also, it is funny, and in my opinion anything that mixes humor and politics is worth reading.
