Comments on "Balancing Pop Culture and Governing"

On Briana McClellan's post,  "Balancing Pop Culture and Governing", she states that the president has every right to reference pop culture and even discuss the issue with the youth's obsession with the glamorous life that it is Hollywood. I agree with Briana that the president has every right to make references and or talk about other subjects that does not involve politics, as long as he has a purpose to help the nation.

There is an issue when it involves kids and idols. While there are people who actually have achieved great things and helped others in need, kids only want to be like the celebrities they see in movies, partying and basically achieving nothing in society. Children are choosing to grow up like people that shouldn't even be considered idols. This is what the President was talking about and the backlash to it seems too exaggerated. The President has every right to address this issue and I believe Briana was right on cue about it. The facts she used to back up her argument and even mentions the constitution helps her argument stand. The President was trying to reach children by warning them on their idols, which this to me seems harmless. He was doing his job, after all, children are the future.
