Obamarama!

Obama's speech in my opinion was ( like all of his speeches) eloquent and wonderfully. His audience was the school children across the country. That is a wide audience he must appeal to. Ages 5-18, some on the first day of school. It was quite a challenge. Given who he was giving the speech to he choose a very appropriate location to deliver it. However the students at the school seemed as though they couldn't care less. The shots of this crowd during the speech were less than steller. It showed bored children who were either taking pictures or texting. I would like to think that if he came to Henry Clay the student body would be a little more receptive. Obama's choice to speak to students was very strong one however his audience could have made his speech much stronger simply by acting engaged.
