Here is complete video of President Obama's school speech today, where he urged America's school children to take "personal responsibility" for their lives.

While that is a wonderful message to convey, it is at odds with what Obama does with his own Democratic voting blocks. He tells children to take "personal responsibility," but he only wants to expand government to do for people what they often should be doing for themselves.

This speech was all about Obama. The children were a backdrop to help him break out of the tailspin he's been in for weeks. But his message is not consistent with his policies.
