Let's see. He's talking about how regulation was "gutted" in order to make certain parties rich. Somehow, he's also said that he doesn't believe in bigger government. Then what the heck are you doing?!?!?!

Hey, he's giving free money to college students! Woot, and more unemployment cash!

By 2020, America will have the highest percentage of college graduates. That's a lofty goal. What he forgets to mention is no one will be able to afford college by 2020 so it wouldnt be that hard to graduate the highest percentage. Or, on the other hand, the standards could be lowered so far that graduating from college is the same as graduating high school.

Yeah, but he seems to think that we need taken care of.

Holy crap, did he just say that dropping out of high school isn't an option? What if the kid just hates school and won't do good in it since he's not interested?

In our community, they are talking about raising the age to mandatory school through age 18. While this will lower the drop-out rates, it won't make kids any smarter if they don't want to learn and be there.

Here's an idea. Take away the social programs so they won't have the same crutch to lean on as their parents.

College is overrated. Some of the most creative and brilliant minds our world has seen have come from "uneducated" individuals. Also, "uneducated" doesn't = stupid.

Obama aims for sober honesty, optimism in address
Feb 24 03:22 PM US/Eastern
By JENNIFER LOVEN
AP White House Correspondent

Standing before a nation on an economic precipice, President Barack Obama aimed to balance candor with can-do Tuesday night in his first address to a joint session of Congress. Millions more anxious Americans were tuning in on TV.

Obama was arguing that his still-unfolding economic revival plan has room for—even demands—a broader agenda including dramatic increases in health care coverage and wiser, "greener" fuel use. He was addressing an ebullient Democratic congressional majority and an embattled but reinvigorated GOP minority as well as worried viewers at home.
