Despite the many critics of President Obama's speech to back to school goers, the show went on. Many schools did not even allow Obama's speech to be heard in their schools. This did not stop the President, as he delivered an excellent speech that would inspire any young person. Bear in mind that these young people will be the future of America. It matters not what the Republicans and critics say, if the children had listened to his speech they would realize that there is just political rhetoric going on around them, it has nothing to do with their ideologies. To call President Obama's speech as socialism is just crazy. There is no justification whatsoever to make such a comment. But the hate for the President continues, but he shall overcome......

Key points of speech:

• "What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future"
• "You'll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment."
• "You'll need the insights and critical thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free,"
• "If you quit on school -- you?re not just quitting on yourself, you?re quitting on your country," 
• "At the end of the day, the circumstances of your life -- what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you?ve got going on at home -- that's no excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude,"
• "That's no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school. That's no excuse for not trying"
• "Where you are right now doesn?t have to determine where you'll end up. No one's written your destiny for you. Here in America, you write your own destiny. You make your own future,"
