Washington D.C. – In a controversial move President Barack Obama is going to address a joint session of Congress to welcome them back from their summer vacation. The speech has been planned for some time to give Congress a boost and encourage them to stay in school and reach their potential but some conservative critics have attacked the President’s motives for such an unprecedented speech.

Jim Greer, Chair of the Florida GOP has been one of the most vociferous critics of the President’s planned address.

“I believe it’s an unconstitutional waste of tax payer’s money to intrude on Congress to try and force his Socialist views on our elected representatives,” said Greer.

Critics have zeroed in on Obama’s suggested Socialist mandate that was initially proposed to be delivered to both houses of Congress to encourage them to write suggestions on how Obama could best achieve his goal to make America a Socialist country in the mold of France-Russia. To ease some of the concerns about Obama’s speech his administration have changed the suggested mandate to now ask members of Congress to write letters to themselves about their own goals.

Excerpts of President Obama’s address to the joint session of Congress have been released and they appear to reflect the changes brought about by the latest uproar over an Obama controversy.

“No one’s born being good at things, you become good at things through hard work. It’s the same with legislating. You might have to read a bill a few times before you understand it, or propose a few amendments before it’s good enough to send to the floor”

…………..

“Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Your government and constituents are here to help you. Help you make the right decisions. Both myself and my wife, Michelle, learned early on the value of education and how to strive for a higher goal. If you stay in school and try hard you too can rise up and be President some day like I was able to do.”
