And even less make it to college. Obama was involved in the Chicago educational community for over a decade, while managing a $150 million grant for improving the educational system (can you say ACORN?) The $787 Billion dollar "porkulous" bill signed by President Obama, without reading it, which had over 8,000 "earmarks", which Obama vowed to "line out" before signing any bill (he also pledged a 5 day period for the public to scrutinize before he signed any bill) had the hundred plus millions of dollars for the AIG executives bonuses, not to mention another $200 millions in bonuses for AIG in 2010. For education, we first need to learn about President Obama and his "double speak". First he is a Marxist, Joe the plumber was no accident, Obama does intend to tax people, businesses and our society into oblivion. CAP and Trade, higher taxes for all and CARD CHECK will ruin this nation. In Obama's America, we will be waiting in lines for food and medical care, while also waiting for jobs. Forget about college in the future, unless you are politically connected. President Obama comes from a community where 49% of all students never graduate from high school (Chicago, IL).
