Obama Avoids Political Issues

In a speech that drew fire even before he delivered it, President Barack Obama is telling the nation's schoolchildren he "expects great things from each of you."

"At the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the world," Obama said. "And none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities."

The White House posted Obama's remarks on its Web site at midday Monday. He's scheduled to deliver the talk from a school in suburban Arlington, Va. Tuesday.

Obama's planned talk has proven controversial, with several conservative organizations and individuals accusing him of trying to pitch his arguments too aggressively in a local-education setting. White House officials, including Education Secretary Arne Duncan, have said the allegations are silly.

In the remarks set for Tuesday, Obama tells young people that all the work of parents, educators and others won't matter "unless you show up for those schools, pay attention to those teachers."

Obama made no reference in his prepared remarks to the uproar surrounding his speech. Nor did he make an appeal for support of tough causes like health care reform. He used the talk to tell kids about his at-times clumsy ways as a child and to urge them to identify an area of interest, set goals and work hard to achieve them.

The president acknowledged that "it's hard to be successful," but told the students the country badly needs their best effort to cope in an increasingly competitive global economy.

"What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country," Obama says. "What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future."

Obama noted that he was raised by a single mother, who made him buckle down and work harder at times. He said he's glad she did.

The president also warned students that if they quit on school, "you're not just quitting on yourself, you're quitting on your country."

Some conservatives have urged schools and parents to boycott the address. They say Obama is using the opportunity to promote a political agenda.

Schools don't have to show the speech. And some districts have decided not to, partly in response to concerns from parents.

Duncan's department has also taken heat for proposed lesson plans distributed to accompany the speech.

On Sunday, the secretary acknowledged that a section about writing to the president on how students can help him meet education goals was poorly worded. It has been changed.

"We just clarified that to say write a letter about your own goals and what you're going to do to achieve those goals," Duncan said on CBS' "Face the Nation."

Former Republican Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush delivered similar speeches to students, the White House has said.

Obama will deliver the speech Tuesday at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Va. It will be shown live on the White House Web site and on C-SPAN at noon EDT.

The Pendet Dance

A nation that is very humiliating. If not have a cultural identity. They were very confused determine personal identity. very funny, reckless and stupid. Perhaps is a word that should be spoken regrets, why in the past the ancestors of a nation, have no cultural identity. Just create a dance just unable to, really very stupid.
Recently, a work of art, a dance from the island of Bali, the dance Pendet, claimed by the nation of Malaysia. Malaysian community with easy, shamelessly using the icons of the island of Bali, as part of their culture. Pendet Dance is one of the Balinese culture which has hundreds of years old. This dance is usually in the show during the welcoming ceremony. Awards given to guests by displaying this Pendet dance.
This is what makes the world laugh, was a great nation such as Malaysia, have no cultural identity, so that the work of another nation's culture becomes the target for claims. Does this show Malaysian minister of culture of the kingdom, too smart to deceive the world or too stupid and dazed, looking, people's identity.

The real sadist


This is an image of a working woman, who experienced violence by employers. truly sadistic. Violence is one of the failure of a country that can not educate citizens. You may not call a country has a modern civilization, if in the country, people still like to do violence on other people. Do not you know, if someone is not the same with an animal? we all believe, someone is not the object of torture.

don't say this country has a high culture, do not say this country people are very polite, if we still often see the violence.What if you experienced it? Surely you will say, "surely not moral, it is cruel and, contrary to human rights!

If you are a woman and claim to have God.

Do you know, women have the same gender to men. The rights of women must be recognized and the right to life. However, in reality, we often hear about the ordeal experienced by women. Violence ..! Perpetrators of violence can be referred to as the beast, if you do not have a sense of affection to others. We are very sad. If you see on Television, the news about the torture / violence experienced by women workers. Torture / violence carried out by the employer. It is very despicable, evil and very very sadistic.How you feel, if violence is done to you? Of course, you do not want is not it? sick, sad, ashamed. But, of course, violence can only be done by people who have no God, or do not have a religion. You surely know, religion has taught us to have a sense of affection? When God sees, violence against another human being human, God will give punishment in hell later. But this applies to people who have God or religion. If they do not have God or religion, they do not recognize this.
So, very clearly. The people that violence is a person who does not know heaven and hell. They include groups that do not have a God or not religious.. They are the demons of evil. BE CAREFUL. DANGEROUS....!
