Ocean, no comment on obama's voting record in regard to partial birth abortion? Killing infants who are viable outside of the womb is nothing less than murder...and obama and his donkey-assed wife PUSHED this agenda more than once.
How to you reconcile those votes with your thoughts of protecting children through better healthcare? Some deserve protection and care and too bad for the others?
Education. obama has NOTHING in his education plan that hasn't been seen before...many times in fact. It has been proven in study after study that throwing more money at this issue DOESN'T WORK. Unfortunately, it isn't that simple.
Consider these facts:
"CHICAGO — Senator Barack Obama learned how hard it can be to solve America’s public education problems when he headed a philanthropic drive here a decade ago that spent $150 million on Chicago’s troubled schools and barely made a dent."
Given what the United States spends on education, its relatively low student achievement through high school shows its school system is "clearly inefficient," McGaw said.
(AP) In all levels of education, the United States spends $11,152 per student. That's the second highest amount, behind the $11,334 spent by Switzerland.
"The very best schools in the U.S. are extraordinary," McGaw said.
"But the big concern in the U.S. is the diversity of quality of institutions — and the fact that expectations haven't been set high enough."
"Higher education in the United States remains strong, and the nation continues to hold an advantage in innovation based on research conducted at universities, he said.
"A lot of that has been driven by this perception that our schools are simply not good enough and they don't compare well with systems in other countries," Matthews told The Associated Press.
The blame or credit for the results does not go exclusively to a nation's schools, said the 36-page study, part of a series of "report cards" produced by UNICEF's Innocenti Research Center in Florence, Italy.
"It is clear that educational disadvantage is born not at school but in the home," said the report. "Learning begins at birth" and is fostered by "a loving, secure, stimulating environment"

Ask ANY israeli who his big enemy was, for 25 years after the pact with egypt, and he'll tell you it was IRAQ, or more specifically, the Baathist regime of Saddam. This was the regime which was implacably anti-israeli, bought the french breeder reactor (which the israelis bombed) to get nukes for use against the israelis, and made the first (unprovoked) attack with IRBMs since WWII against israeli cities during the Gulf War. It was BUSH which removed this regime. The ability of Obamabots not only to get things WRONG, but 180 DEGREES ASS-BACKWARDS is simply AMAZING.
