Why do politicians feel it's necessary to talk to school kids ?
Do they have some clout that teachers and parents don't ?
If you knew anything about the current High school generation for example, you'd know that many of them are inspired by Obama. Historically, African Americans drop rates are extremely high.

As we all know, Obama's support in that community is in record levels. However, his support among the 18-25 age group and the younger age group is also very high. So Obama is an inspiration to many of their kids, and he gives them hope. That's why Obama should talk to the kids, if he can help at least a couple stay in school then he's done good in my book.
This isn't just some run of the mill politician as much as you'd like to paint it either.
