Sample (unedited) comments about Obama’s speech from the White House Live Facebook page:
Stephanie Boyd would have loved to hear this as a kid. It would have been nice for someone to care enough to encourage me with my education. – Western Colorado, CO
Terri Hearne Why do you think we need a president to say this? Parents and teachers are the most important transmitters of these values.
Elizabeth Isabelle would love to see a statistic on what percent of those opposed to this speech spell well vs the spelling of those who approve… – Tampa Bay, FL
Daisy Hannah President Obama a fantastic speech – I am very glad to be a Black American…We have given a great deal to the United States of America.
Angie Montenegro I am glad to see the president of ANY country, especially our own, tell students to do their best and achieve thier goals. Sometimes kids need to hear this from more than just their parents. Who better than from someone who has overcome many difficult situations in life? Well done, sir! Thank you! – Denver, CO
Roger Banks I just think that some people are to negitive. We must be more positive to each other and out children. Times is hard for everyone so what does it hurt to hear some positive word from the President of the Uniited States.
Dianna Crane I thought it was a good speech. Give people a break, if they did not want there children to see it, does not make them idiots. – Virginia Beach / Norfolk, VA
