Barack Obama’s speech to America’s students. What was your reaction? (video)

I am just getting to listen to this speech and want to know your thoughts.

Info on video shared on YouTube link…

The President gives a speech directly to Americas students welcoming them back to school. He emphasizes their hope and potential but makes clear they will need to take responsibility for themselves and their education to reach that potential. September 8, 2009. (Public Domain)

Did your child attend a school that aired the speech?  What were your thoughts?

I’d love to know if you were at Wakefield High School student in Arlington, VA that was able to watch this live.  Were you inspired?

Hats off to Tim Spicer who probably had the best moment of his life being chosen to introduce Barack Obama.
