What's he gonna be on next? Intervention? Where Michelle gets him in a room to quit smoking......... Go away already.

President Obama enlists MythBusters to educate kids

By HEATHER BOSCH
Could a TV appearance by President Obama actually "boost" the science scores of American kids? That's an experiment the White House is conducting.

It's why 500 middle and high school students recently pretended to be ancient Greek soldiers, fending off Roman invaders.

In front of them an excited MythBuster's TV host Adam Savage told them, "Your countryman, the great Greek mathematician Archimedes has given you a very novel weapon to defend yourselves, the power of the sun."

Under the direction of Savage and co-host Jamie Hyneman the kids focused the sun's rays on a boat, to see if they could set it on fire.

The recent episode on the popular Discovery Channel science show was requested from the top.

"Welcome to the White House," President Obama told Savage and Hyneman, as Obama challenged the two to see if the story that Archimedes had a heat ray is myth or fact.

Clearly the President has a more far-reaching goal.

"I have a personal interest in this, as President, because nothing's more important to our country's future than getting young people engaged in math and science." "You're learning about critical thinking," says Edward Rock, associated Exec director National Science Teachers Association.

He says science promotes the kind of thinking Americans need to solve problems and stay competitive.

But a study, released this week, shows US students rank 17th in science, worldwide.

"There are classrooms in the United States were you can't find a beaker a microscope- any of those kinds of resources."

Education resources are strapped and debate is raging over how best to teach kids.

Still, Rock thinks a simple presidential appearance on a science show, is an important step, "to have it become a visible issue. To have it become something that people are thinking about. Having it become part of the national debate: Why is science, and why is science education, important to the country?"

And if getting adults to discuss science is important, it's just as critical to get the future scientists talking, too.

The 500 students, involved in the MythBusters experiment, weren't just talking, they were cheering, even when their sun-drenched mirrors failed to set the "Roman" boat on fire.

In this Presidential episode the myth was busted but kid enthusiasm was clearly confirmed.

There are a lot of things to complain and get upset about. This isn't one of them. GTFOI.

Obama's new press secretary did one hell of a good job today.

[SanJoaquinSooner]

I can already feel investor and consumer confidence growing

[Leroy Lizard]

He thinks that he has so much power in his persona that merely being on a tv show will change children's attitudes toward science, just like talking to students on tv during class will change their work ethic. It's part of the megalomania package.

Not to say that a president can't be influential, but to change attitudes toward the positive takes a lot of hard work over an extended time. Those with megalomania think that one episode will do the trick, that their very presence alone will spur on the masses.

There could be another reason: The dude is a total ham. (Basketball, anyone?)

Should be a big headline tomorrow!

Obama quits talking; saved by Slick Wille as new Press Secretary!

Gee....and i thought that the Clintons were mad at Obama for the tricks he played on them in the primaries!

I agree SicEm.....so instead of being on The View and Mythbusters why doesnt he actually take care of them


Oh, I know why. He is more interested in being a celebrity than actually being the President.

Ever notice that Clinton's nose looks like it should be lower on his body??? Maybe it's just me.

Clinton was just there to teach him how or order pizza.
