First, of education in general.....we really can't blame lack of education on those responsbile for the Wall Street and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac excesses that resulted in the economic crisis that has now befallen us....that occurred because of pride, greed, corruption and power grabbing.

Second, by bringing up early education at this debate, Obama was doing nothing except pandering to special interest education progressives and the unions types. If elected, on top of the spending bill just passed by COngress, on top of the $700 Billion bailout (if it passes), his plan would increase federal education by 19 billion dollars per year spending 10 billion of that by putting 4 year olds in federal schools, extending the length of school days and funding more after school programs.....(there is nothing in his education plan concerning education in math, or science or reading by 3rd grade, Zoo.) ((btw, when I was in public school we all read by 1st grade and no one passed to 2nd if they couldn't)). (((It cost $2,500 per year Catholic elementary education while it cost the town $7,000 (10,000 today) per child.))) Obama's throwing more money at education is a very tired idea.  Check the statistics....more money isn't producing educated students. The failing and drop our rate is horrendous and many schools still can't get students reading by 3rd grade.

Meanwhile Obama is all for a mother's choice to kill her baby in the womb, yet he opposes a woman's choice which public school her child can attend.    While he's fortunate enought to send his two girls to private charter schools in Illinois, he won't place himself in the shoes of parents whose children are enrolled in failing schools. Obama is an Elitist who has no problem denying the less fortunate the same options he has. 

you tell em' Lula!  Right on! 

Those big whigs running away with their millions before the collapse had very nice educations.  That's definitely not the answer!  When you educate common thieves all you produce is educated crooks and that's pretty much what's going on right now.

To me, McCain's last statement summed it up....it made me trust him even more...and now with this looming ecomonic crisis, I see McCain as a doer....while N'Obama is a smooth talker I trust  less with every day that passes.

Speaking of scoring the debate, Michelle Malkin has a good article out today about the Palin/Biden debate tomorrow.  Turns out the PBS moderator, Gwen Ifill is quite biased in favor of N'Obama.... having already written a book about him that's due to come out on inaugauration day.
