Environmental activism and sucking up to teachers (read: teachers' unions) — and all along I thought the President was just going to say 'Work hard, stay in school, believe in yourself, and don't do drugs.' How could I have been so wrong?...
At least the 'How can I help the President?' bit is gone from the Department of Education 'classroom activity' materials. Sheez.

But we still have an official call for poems, songs, and artwork; official vilification; and unofficial (and surely uncoordinated!*) pledges to be a servant to the president. Silly, paranoid me!
Seriously, if Bush 43 did half one quarter of this, Democrats would have gone thermonuclear!
* This spring, actor Kal Penn (Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle) suddenly, in the middle of a season, dumped a great gig on House to become Assistant Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement. Why him and why so suddenly, if not as a liason to 'hip up' the White House message through young Hollywood actors? (Note to Public Engagement and New Media: Too creepy.)
