Wow. You know, I came in to this all expecting to defend Obama, and I did. But the content of his speech is *shocking*, even to someone of relatively leftist sensibilities. Here's the full text. It might as well be written in Red Ink, if you catch my drift.

Read it and weep for the future of your country.

May the good lord save you from Leninism, because your president certainly won't. "Here in America, you write your own destiny." Karl Marx couldn't have said it better himself.

Do you mean the part where he says, "The bourgeois family will vanish as a matter of course when its complement vanishes, and both will vanish with the vanishing of capital. Do you charge us with wanting to stop the exploitation of children by their parents? To this crime we plead guilty. But, you say, we destroy the most hallowed of relations, when we replace home education by social. And your education! Is not that also social, and determined by the social conditions under which you educate, by the intervention direct or indirect, of society, by means of schools, etc.? The Communists have not intended the intervention of society in education; they do but seek to alter the character of that intervention, and to rescue education from the influence of the ruling class."
