I'd much rather my tax dollars go to sending Americans to school than dropping bombs on then building schools in Iraq or the next Nation you republiKlans want to drop bombs on.

Obama has good ideas but implementing them ......... is a different story.

It would be nice if his last bit of attempting a positive legacy was to once tell us the truth.
"Obama has good ideas..." I disagree. IMO, Obama has good political sound bites.

If you give away free stuff, those that get that free stuff will vote for you every time.

Was Obama's immigration really amnesty? I thought it only lasts 3 years and it isn't offering those 5 million citizenship or a green card, just temporary work permits for 3 years? And its needs renewed by the next president?

I also thought his college community plan was a proposed plan that has to go congress, don't think it was an executive order was it?

Problem with some of his executive orders is that most of them are temporary and can be reversed by the next president by the stroke of a pen. So if his executive orders are to be part of his 'legacy', he'll definitely be wanting a democratic president in in 2016 to solidify it, if a Republican comes in, a lot of it will certainly be reversed. Obama spent a lot of his early months apparently undoing W's executive orders. In no way does a executive order mean a legacy therefore.

So far, his EOs and community college ideas are stuff Hillary will continue, no doubt.

The schools now teach a Common Core curriculum which dumbs down how whatever subject matter is exposed to them and how they process it. Modern HS graduates are as middle school grads just 30 years ago. In like fashion, a 4 year college degree is sometimes not enough; masters is often preferred.

The federal educational system is churning out mediocrity with their K-12 BS. it's soon to be K-20 as they want your kid to attend school for 14 years and top that off with another 4 years in college.
Receiving a degree doesn't teach/prepare one how to actually perform the duties required of their fields of study. They are aware they haven't really learned much then go onto get a graduate's degree; another 3-4 years.
Those who went to work with a 4 year degree will have 3 years of actual work experience under their belts They also earned while the graduate is another 3 years in debt.


If anything > than C+ average = excellence, does excellence = racist?
