It was one of the dumbest media-driven controversies of all time. Of course there will be no more debate after people hear the exceptional speech, but I'll be surprised if we hear a single apology.

Although, I guess I'll do some advocating for the devil and say that I would prefer if instead of saying "I’m working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books..." he could say "We're [referring to the government] working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books, equipment and computers you need to learn" This would make it marginally less partisan. However, I would imagine that students are especially inspired by an individual and given Obama's background he's probably in a superb position to inspire students. Sigh Why does everything he does have to be so partisan? What's next? "His dog is spreading socialist ideologies?"
