In case you have been living under a rock, President Obama will address the nation’s children at noon today from Wakefield High School in Arlington, Va.
I first heard about the the debate that is swirling around his speech as I listened to NPR’s riveting social commentary in the car.
OK, so it was a call-in session on alternative rock station Alice 105.9. Don’t let that impact my street cred.

And then the plot thickened because I heard back from so many of you:
COME VOICE YOUR OPINION HERE. Will you be watching? Do you think everything has been blown out of proportion or do you think the government is overstepping its boundaries?
