Obama to latchkey parents: Get your asses in gear

[derby378]

He just said that parents need to nurture their kids in order to keep this nation strong.

Moms and dads: this means no more of your 7-year-old kids making violent YouTube rap videos while you're out at the mall.

1. KICK/REC!

:kick:

3. Thanks for that!

:hi:

2. God save our country from bad ass 7-year-olds.

Surely the greatest threat we've ever encountered.

4. I'm sorry that was rude. My wife's mother raised her and her sister

on her own they where latchkey kids.

[derby378]

5. But she didn't neglect them or fail to give them guidance, right?

That's what I'm talking about, here.

8. No and not all latchkey kids are as you described them.

6. I think 7 year olds are more apt to be unsupervised when

their parent(s) are both working - sometimes more than one job each - trying to keep a roof over the family's head and can't afford day care.

7. Incredibly poor paraphrase.

[JVS]

9. I think violent youtube rap videos are a fine venue for self expression.

See you at the mall.

10. No, he told you to stfu n/t

[bluestateguy]

11. "Turn off the TV set. Put away the video games"

Always my favorite line of his campaign speeches.

12. ...

:eyes: oy -- was that dumb.

[debbierlus]

13. Let's put policy in place that will make it so

People are working two, three, FOUR jobs.

Struggling to feed their kids. Let's help them out, so they can be better parents.

[derby378]

15. Amen to that

This way, any mom or dad who wants to stay at home to raise the kids will have the ability to do so.

[Dennis Donovan]

14. Hopefully the economy will be restored in which parents don't have to work 2 jobs a piece...
