Virginia Tech class led by “The Plaid Avenger” invites Obama to visit
The World Regions class at Virginia Tech is trying to get President Obama to stop by to talk to them about what they’re studying. Toward that end, they’ve created this You Tube video. The official caption reads:
Professor John Boyer and his 3000 person World Regions class at Virginia Tech request President Barack Obama to come to his class and discuss American foreign policy and our involvement abroad. We are not requesting a campaign stop, but a more in depth discussion.
You’ll notice the professor is rather, um, animated. He goes by the nickname “The Plaid Avenger.”
The Roanoke Times has had stories on him on several occasions:
* Why Boyers’ classes are so popular
* Tech professor finishing second edition of “The Plaid Avenger”
* The Plaid Avenger’s textbook comes with a warning label
Last fall, Boyer was involved in a similiar video campaign to get the movie “The Way” shown in the New River Valley. That one worked, and Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez came to Blacksburg to show off the film and talk about it.
Will The Plaid Avenger strike again, this time with the President of the United States?
Stay tuned!

He should be bi-partisan…invite Mr. Romney as well. Give us all a synopsis of both gentlemen’s answers.
Until this happens (questioning both, since it is an election year), this is just not interesting.
Self-promoting clown. I hope the kids are disappointed, this time.
Devino, the request is for someone to talk about foreign policy on planet earth, not planet Kolob, where Mormons believe that a tall human who is also God lives. Seriously, this is what Romney believes. Maybe a professor on planet earth who wants to question the leader of that planet about his experience leading foreign policy the last four years is more concerned with educating the students on our planet and not debating those ideas with a space cadet who counts on his temple garment (magic underwear) to protect him from the moral transgression of torturing a dog on the top of his car and calling mafia style “bust-outs” of failing companies “helping” them. Absurd as it seems, score one for the plaid avenger and his team of reality – score zero for you and “God” on planet Kolob.
#1 While I agree with you, Devino, th reality is he won’t be getting either fellow in to discuss anything in-depth. There’s an election on.
Hume FAILS to understand that obama admits to worshipping God too…
