Some Reactions:
"Students and teachers discussed the president's speech in all of my classes the following day," Ashley Ronnebaum said. "Everybody had good things to say about the president. Everybody was real positive about his speech, admired him and respected his views and was impressed with his sense of humor."
Ronnebaum said she was especially impressed with his honesty and frankness in answering a student's question about the future of Social Security.
