It should be a well known fact that gravity has an influence on time. GPS satellites, orbiting at 10 to 12 thousand miles from earth, register time's passage as faster than you or I standing in our driveway. True. You can set your watch to it. Without constant adjustments to account for gravity's effect, our GPS systems would be as inaccurate as......hmm.......as they are! Well, likely worse. If you're in a rut, and time is dragging, (and now you know why), then get up, stand up, JUMP! (and look at your watch.) See?
Seriously, why all the hoopla over Obama's speech to some schoolkids? He just told them what they should already know, what their parents likely told them, we hope. I didn't see it as part of any Democratic Party agenda, these kids can't vote. At most it was an exercise in a political requirement that, like Bush (who spoke to school kids in '91), or Reagan, or the others fulfilled in their day, and to me, largely, a waste of time and effort. Unless a president is capable of talking- directly to all the country's kids (and he's clearly not), he'd be better served to address the parents concerning their responsibilities toward their kids. Children today will be worse served by the politically charged battle this whole thing has digressed to. Whew!
If you just skipped that windblown paragraph, It simply says: "Waste of Time!"
