Maybe that's true for Democrats and socialists. But they are on the wrong side of history. Look at the great Republican president George W. Bush. Did he work hard in school? No! Did he work hard as governor of Texas or President of the United States? No! Did he ever work a day in his life? No! To him, work was a four-letter word. And look where that got him ... he became president of the United States!
Still, this Barack Obama " a man who can't even prove where he was born " isn't the first national leader to encourage his people to work hard. Seventy years ago, the chancellor of Germany did the same thing. But he used the phrase, "Arbeit Macht Frei ... "work makes you free . That slogan was forged in wrought iron above the gates of Dachau concentration camp. And who was that chancellor of Germany? None other than Adolf Hitler.
That should tell you something about the true character of this man, this "president Barack Obama. Now you know what he and his ilk really think of your school, and you and your classmates.
See what I mean? You can't take anything these Democrat socialists say at face value. All the time, they say one thing and mean another.
Second, the president told you to set high goals for yourself and strive to meet high standards. But when Democrats tell you to set high goals and strive to meet them, what they are really trying to do is shift the burden for your success in school to you " and away from the socialist teachers unions they pander to.
Everybody knows that how well you do in school depends on how good your teachers are. Setting goals for you and making you meet them is your teachers' job. Otherwise, you could just give yourself your own grades.
