Channel One Reacts to Obama School Speech

Jessica: Hey there! This is Jessica with Channel One News, the only news station made for high schoolers! Like, we're here with some pretty sweet reaction and commentary from our Channel One News panel on the speech our president, Barack Obama, just gave to students across the country! First, let's introduce the panel! This is Tommy.

Tommy: What up?

Jessica: Annnnd Merisha!

Merisha: Heeey!

Jessica: And Derek.

Derek: Hey.

Jessica: Awesome. So guys, the president said some pretty incredible stuff today, didn't he?

Merisha: Oh my gawd, yes! He told everyone to stay in school! And to do work!

Tommy: I'm just glad he fit it in before lunch.

Jessica: We're just so lucky to have him as our leader. You know what I mean? So lucky.

Merisha: Fer sure!

Derek: No way. First off, because of this stupid speech, Obama totally wrecked my study hall. I had a big test this afternoon, and I didn't study at all for it last night--that's all your fault Beenie!--and when I was gonna study today I had to sit and watch him. Now I have to write an essay about how I'm going to help him do his job. Why does that guy need the help of a 10th grader to run the country?

Jessica: Um...

Tommy: I thought it would have been cool if it was like TRL and I could text in a message to the Prez.

Merisha: Totally!

Jessica: That would have been sweet.

Derek: Don't any of you find it at all weird that he took time out of his day to essentially say nothing to us... except that he was going to spend more money to make the school better. Just think about how much it cost for him to make this speech, and all the materials that they had to get made for teachers.

Tommy: I wonder what the President's favorite soda is. I'm guessing Sierra Mist, because he's from Hawaii.

Jessica: Good point, Tommy!

Merisha: You're so good at reacting, Tommy!

Tommy: That's why they let me kick the field goals.

Derek: Why did I agree to be on this dumb news show?

Jessica: Coming up after a commercial break, we're going to hear from T-Pain and Miley Cyrus and get their reactions to our awesome president's totally kicking speech today! Be back after 5 minutes worth of advertising!
