Alien Ideas

If an alien visitor from outer space had alighted in these United States, he could not be faulted for believing that either Russian president Dimitry Medvedev or Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, through some weird circumstance, had been invited to speak to America's unsuspecting children on what is traditionally the first day of school and that a significant amount of the populace was feverishly upset about the threat of indoctrination and adoption of socialist ideas. The visitor would be astounded to learn that the speaker was none other than the duly elected president of the Republic - Barack Hussein Obama.
