I personally think that the speech that president Obama gave was very good because he let everybody know that there is no excuses. When he talked about whether if you had money or not that didn't mean you couldn't do your homework. Also I think he made everybody put their head's up by letting them know that "no" wasn't the answer. Also If parents think the speech was not worth doing I think they're wrong because all them little kids or not only them but teens they're are going to look up to him.
