 Subject: Pres. speech to kids

Message:
This is supposed to happen during school on 9/8/09 and I was wondering if any of you have seen or read what this speech is going to be about. I've done a little surfing but can't find anything on the darn webz.
I do NOT want rants, speeches or the like. Links would be my choice as I have 2 school age kids, (1) high school senior and (1) 5th grader. I would like to know what the topic of his "speech" is going to be.

Thanks Kow but,that wasn't exactly what I was looking. I've seen other articles with people from both sides disrespecting the others.
I did hear on the news this morning that the Whitehouse will make the text of the speech available to the public on Monday.
If the speech is just to stress to the kids the importance of a good education I'm all for it. But, I would much rather be with them as they watch it(especially with my 10 yr old), to reinforce the idea that it is exactly what I want them to do. As if I don't stress that to them enough already.
My 22yr old son is in college now and his major is Biology w/ a minor in Chemistry. He is planning graduate school in Bio research with a program that will net him a PHD/MD.
My 17 yr old daughter grauates high school this year and will attend college for nursing. And if she's feels the necessity to go to medical school after for an MD, she will pursue that too.
I don't care what any political party says about the other. I just want my kids to get the education they deserve and have worked hard for. If that is what the President will discuss with them I do not have a problem with it. If it gets political, I will have something to say about it!
Rant OFF!

My beef was not with the speech, but with the WORKBOOK items that the kids were to do after the speech. Like the HOW I CAN HELP OBAMA letter they were to write. It has now being changed to How they plan to continue their studys and help the nation. A great improvement that would not have happened if not for the people standing up and saying the the first program was WRONG...
