Obama reaches out to school children in scared attempt to reestablish a base (of sorts).

I think I understand the motivation of President Obama's upcoming address to school children.  It seems to be the same reason as having the Jonas Brothers play at inaugural festivities.  He is merely reaching out to the only group of voters he hasn't alienated (yet).  He made promises to radical groups, because that is where the money and vocal support come from (on both sides), and hasn't been able to follow through on those promises.  Now he has to find a way to energize a new base of voters, people who will go out and campaign for him and his ideas.  Young people almost always are more left leaning in their economic beliefs, as it is much easier to justify stealing from the "haves" when you yourself "have not", so they are the perfect new base for Obama to pursue.

Think carefully Mr. Obama, as involving young people in your socialistic ideas may backfire when they realize before the next election, that socialism doesn't work.  Then you will be left without a platform.....
