2. I
I bet by the end of the week the Conservatives will pressure the school to expel him. Obama has brainwashed the kid. I can already hear Rush making that claim.This poor kid will be the target for Hate radio and Fox for the next couple of weeks.

3. Great kid. I got in fights in high school for refusing the pledge over the Vietnam War,
So this really resonates with me. Good for him.

13. Has
Has anyone from the right spoken out about this yet? I can hear Glen Beck ranting about a Socialist society and this kid was raised by commies.Sad thing is, this kid could probably debate Beck and come out on top.

15. That would be fantastic
The current Democratic party wouldn't have anything to do with him, though.
