re: #91 Sharmuta

To me, it sounded like a campaign speech.

The president said that schoolchildren of today can study hard and solve many of America’s problems. I believe he mentioned cancer, AIDS, the environment, poverty, homelessness, crime, and discrimination. While it’d be great to fix those and all America’s problems, it sounds like a litany straight off the Democrat platform. (To be fair, I heard him mention job creation and the economy, too.)

Clearly dealing with terrorism and “rogue” regimes will be in our schoolkids’ future, too. But those are national security issues, and not what the president wants to discuss.
