Kids say the darnedest things sometimes. Students at Dobson High School in Mesa, Arizona, were not at a loss for words when asked their opinions on Barack Obama’s speech at their school yesterday.
Some students were flat out not impressed with Obama’s plan to jump start the economy.
“Overall I think it’s a good idea, but he’s not addressing the issues of the economic crisis,” said Senior Syna Daudfar. “The spending bill he just passed is just progressing the Democratic agenda rather than addressing the economic issues in the country.”
At one point, when Obama talked about some of the spending in his pork-filled bill, senior Maaike Albach and Daudfar looked at each other and said, “uh-oh.”
“This puts us more into debt,” said Albach, 18. “It’s a horrible situation we’re in.”
Other students thought the former junior Senator from Illinois — who voted “present” 130 times — was in way over his head.
“I just don’t believe all the things he’s telling us. His goal is just too big and broad,” said Senior Brandon Miller, 18, who wore a t-shirt with the words, “Hitler gave great speeches, too” above a picture of Obama.
