I give Obama points for trying and will still withhold judgment until I see the full plan and some action.

Letting this nation simply continue to slide down into educational, financial and social ruin is a very unappealing option.

On the "bearer of bad news" front - Yellowstone is getting much more active and the New Madrid Fault is also overdue. The increasingly unstable weather will be keeping the world occupied and in need of competent people to handle it.
Simply playing musical chairs on the political scene is not going to prevent the upcoming natural disasters although preparation and putting competent people in charge of the disaster recovery offices would go a long way to help.

Some of the potential curve-balls this nation could face soon are frightening and it''s going to take people with both intellect and common sense to recover.

Improving schools AND getting common sense things like civics, personal finance, and health education back on the agenda as well as the basics in math, science, literacy, history, technology and yes - VOCATIONAL training might just help prepare and prevent the mistakes of the recent past when dealing with such crisis.

I''m worried for you.
It seems you''re trying to make an important point but what you''re writing is terribly jumbled and confusing.
Please talk to your doctor and get back to writing so we can understand you.

Take care of yourself - hope things go better for you this year.

Letting these people get control of our schools is a HUGE MISTAKE! And they''''ll do it by claiming to put money in it and creating jobs, when they won''''t give the locals a damned dime, they''''ll keep the money, but they''''ll make the local schools meet THEIR standards...in other words, we''ll have little pinko commmie training camps for our KIDS!

Simple solutions to your rant -Private schooling or homeschooling - then you can insure YOUR kids get that "decent" education they "deserve".

Take it from a person that did so during W''s NCLB FIASCO - it takes a lot of your time and expenses but then again if your priorities are NOT the priorities of those in control of your child''s school at least this nation still allows options.

Now if they take away those options I''ll be one of the first to be screaming bloody murder even now when my kids are grown and doing well for themselves.

Doing away with "No (every) child left behind" would be a good place to start. All men may be created equal but by age 6 they are not. There are smart, average and dumb kids and they can not all learn at the same level. Where I live as many over achievers drop out from boredom as under achievers from it being too hard. Educate to the level a person can attain, not put everyone in a box.
Get rid of the NEA and other teacher unions, mandate 20 teachers (or more) for every administrator in school and teach math, science, personal finance, English and history first, then the "Johnny has two mommies" *** if there''s time.
These two things would do more to improve education then anything else will ever do.

You see, one of Lenin''''s foremost tenets was "To learn, to learn, to learn".

Posted by anon00 at 05:16 AM : Jan 01, 2009 *************** Yeah, Baby. Just look at all those raging intellects over in Russia now? Lenin was a putts and communism, as well as socialism, doesn''t work.

It''s just like liberal democrap Presidents. They refuse to spend "their" money on "their" dream but jump at the chance to spend "your" money on "theirs". "We know the way to govern you and will tax you enough to afford and implement our new governmental programs to pay for it".

"Just shut up. We know what is best for you."

[whatchange09]

How ya gonna pay for it, Homey? Your stimulus is far too costly for us to pay for it''s catalyst. You open your checkbook and pay for it, if it''s that important to you. I can''t afford any more political dreamer Messiahs.

[irmcvet971]

Oh yes. Obama and his ponzi scheme. Where is the money going to come from?? I know, Madoff.

Just a billion here and a billion there, then you are talking about real money. Let''''''''s see, a trillion dollars that no one knows where it is going or how it is going to be spent. Ponzi lives in the US Congress.

"A private investigator in Hawaii has uncovered the divorce decree for Barack Obama''''s father and mother, which indicates they had "one child under the age of eighteen..."

And while he''s at it, I suppose he''s going to prove the existence of UFOs and that JFK was assassinated by the CIA. I can hardly wait to read about it! Seriously, people like you who post *** like that make me sick.
