How important are the issues and policies of education of each candidate in your selection of the next President of the United States?

Education is very important. It's critical. "No child left behind" has been a collosal failure. This was Bush's approach with McCain's blessing. Under Bush, innovative solutions to education are non-existent. If McCain had a better plan, he's had 26 years in the Senate to push it. You, he's the "maverick." So I guess that means he's clueless when it comes to this issue. Deer in the headlights. Asking him about the military and he gets a bulge in his pants.
I look forward to Obama's plans once he becomes privy to the magnitude of the problem from a president's perspective. Specifics are not important right now. Frankly I don't know why people expect presidential candidates to come up with specific plans. They are not privy to the level of information and resources that the president has. All we can do is look at their values, their tendencies, and if they have spent decades in positions to cause changes, what have they supported, and what plans have they originated. McCain fails miserably here.
I expect Obama to specifically address a problem that no previous president has ever had a clue about
: how to make high academic achievement paramount in the black community. McCain has not a clue on this.
