Rachel is joined by Daily Beast contributor Mark McKinnon for a discussion of the conservative overreaction to President Obama's speech to American students.

Reagan said what?!11!!?

They believe scenario A because it's Faux who are doing the indoctrination. That last thing he said about Busch doing a speech was an unnecessary snipe at the left. I don't remember this kind of faux outrage when he actually did talk to them.

3. I think there is hope approval reached as high as 60s before and support for the public option..

as high as 70+ peercent so when people get the truth and facts they do act accordingly.

4. FDR galvanized a couple of generations for progressive policy; the RW doesn't want a repeat.

They're afraid if Obama makes a searing impression on this generation's youth, the progressive ideology will carry into the next generation. So, they attempt to counter Obama by energizing the kids' undereducated and misinformed parents.
