Are we chatting with anyone in particular or just each other?

Also, isn't holding it during the speech and inviting students to participate just asking them to not pay attention to the speech?

Each other. This is a new service we're testing for the occasion.

It will be after, too. But they're probably pretty good at multitasking, judging from all the texting they do while doing other stuff.

But wait, wouldn't it be more fun to actually attack the President and his speech before we actually hear it? That seems to be what I am reading about. I mean why actually wait until Tuesday afternoon to comment? We can attack Obama right now while at the same time professing that we are simply protecting our children from some evil person and his dangerous ideas.

You see it is easier to be close-minded and only listen to those people who share my viewpoints. It is safer.

And....so many fewer questions to answer that your children may ask of you.
