Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. Today’s education speech by the President is pretty much a snoozer in most fashions, and it’s an ode to the President, rather than an inspirational document. Throw in a few buzzwords, and you have a speech that does nothing, and will likely be heard by few of the target audience, because school isn’t even in session.

No, for the real action, you have to wait til tomorrow’s joint speech before Congress. Obama’s advisers say that he’s going to be fired up and push the health care reform along to get it done.

The problem isn’t his lack of enthusiasm. It’s the failure of persuasion. He hasn’t persuaded most Americans that we need this kind of overhaul. I don’t expect his speech to change things either.
