Here’s Thomas Friedman also calling these idiots who are scared of the president speaking to school children “stupid.”  Skip to 3:54 for his rant.  I love it.

MR. FRIEDMAN:  But David, you know, you said, it’s a firestorm.  And we live in the age of firestorms.  You know, today, or this week, it’s the president speaking in school.  What it needs is for people to stand up and say that’s flat out stupid, OK?  That’s flat out stupid what you’re talking about.  The president of the United States, addressing schoolchildren in this country to study hard, work hard because that’s the way you advance in today’s global economy.  And instead of that, we kind of dance around it, you know.  It’s flat out stupid.
