The most outspoken opponent to President Obama's speech to schoolchildren no longer objects to the address.
Last week, Jim Greer issued a statement accusing the president of trying to "indoctrinate America's children to his socialist agenda." Now that he's read what the president plans to say, the Florida GOP chairman says he'll let his own kids watch.
"It's a good speech," Greer said. "It encourages kids to stay in school and the importance of education."
Greer says he has no regrets about what he said last week, criticizing lesson plans that called for teachers to ask how students can "help" the president.
"The objections from me, the statement from me, and the objections from many other parents was warranted," he said.
