The war of words can be framed this wise: Serving President Obama versus Obama serving we, the people. Hollywood vows to serve Barack Obama.

Middle School aged kids where shown a pro-mo film involving a number of Hollywood types and music celebs pledging to “serve Barack Obama,”  “to serve the presidency.”  Following an uproar from a number of school parents,  the principle, Dan Koch,   made this statement:

 “The ‘I Pledge’ video we viewed yesterday included some messages about serving President Barack Obama. We apologize for any part of the video that was offensive to students, their families and staff. The video conveyed a message that people serve the presidency when in fact our elected officials serve the people. We respect the Office of the President of the United States but like all of our other elected officials, that office serves each of us as well. I sincerely hope that as participants in Wednesday’s event what you took away from the experience was to choose to make a difference in your world.” 

I think he pegged it.  But we should all be concerned that Hollywood does not agree with the statement,  nor does it see the importance of pushing forward with the fact that our politicians,  including Obama,  are there to  serve us.
