This is what I heard: "Well, it's time for them to own their failure. It's time for us to change America. And that's why I'm running for president of the United States." So it's only been a failure for two decades. That explains why he was able to go to the best schools but only the rich can go now. Even though he grew up wealthy. >> Did he say change helped him get the education he recieved and he's >> going to bring change so others can? >nope, but he emphasized that his mom was on food stamps and got >student loans and grants to that enabled him to got to the schools he >went to. He emphasized that those are important programs. Indonesia uses food stamps? Because when he lived in Hawaii he was with his grandparents. >> Did he say he's going to make it so every American can go to school? >yes Which Americans don't go to school?

So he's going to create student grants or tuition assistance if you volunteer. Wait... don't we already have that minus the volunteer part? >> Give teachers a raise?

No we don't have federal >teachers, but we do have federal programs that help out school >districts---it's ok sam, you just need to think outside the box. Federal taxes do go back to the states for education but I didn't know a President can dictate teachers salaries. So is that what you call it? Thinking outside the box? When someone makes vague feel good promises you have to use your imagination to determine how he'll achieve them? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:267038 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
