Is this indoctrination?

Or is it simply a common tactic used by presidents to connect with the very young.

I am going to research this and find out (if I can) a) what is the topic he is speaking about? and b) have any other presidents made similar attempts. I would make a wager that if a previous administration had done this all heck would have broken loose...it would have been the lead of every left leaning blog/news organization out there as evidence of fascism. Any takers? If you have some insight into either question I have, please do share.

On a second note, I read today how supporters of this administration are saying the alarm being expressed by some at actions being taken by the government is clearly a case of "sore losers." Specifically, this person quoted Jon Stewart. Stewart's hatred and annomosity of the things Bush did while in office are clearly documented and and he basically says that his side had to live under 8 years of Bush/Cheney facism.

Is there anything this administration could do that would evoke similar ire from the likes of Stewart and others who voted for "change"?
