Obama's 'Controversial' Speech

RECEIVED Mon., Sept. 7, 2009

Dear Editor,
    I just read the text of Obama's "controversial" speech to school children. Many citizens were concerned that it might contain dangerous indoctrinating rhetoric – and he almost made it, resisting the temptation to jab thought-controlling ideas into the tender gray matter of the children of America until the very last sentence … when he uttered what have been possibly the most harmful and propagandized words throughout human history (in their myriad and respective incarnations). "God bless you, and God bless America." I'm not sure Allah would agree.
