Obama Scrubbed School Speech of Problematic Wording

Obama's school speech went well after the storm of controversy that he was going to 'indoctrinate the children' (Berman Post: Obama's Speech to The America's Students). Now there is word that it may have been received well because it was changed after the controversy erupted. It is not clear exactly what was changed, but this could mean that some of the criticism may have been justified.

"When critics lashed out at President Obama for scheduling a speech to public school students this month, accusing him of wanting to indoctrinate children to his politics, his advisers quickly scrubbed his planned comments for potentially problematic wording. They then reached out to progressive Web sites such as the Huffington Post, liberal bloggers and Democratic pundits to make their case to a friendly audience."
