Friday, March 4, President Obama appeared on stage at Miami Central High School in Miami, Florida, with Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and ex-governor Jeb Bush to kick off "Education Month."
He spoke to the importance of investment in education, stating it as a priority even in tough fiscal times when budget cuts are necessary:
Pretty strange bedfellows, wouldn't you agree? But the fact is that education is an issue that knows no Democrat or Republican. You are either for it or against it, and doing it the wrong way has consequences that are no respecter of whatever political party you happen to support. Good to see some bipartisan action on this issue. Governor Walker of Wisconsin could learn a thing or dozen here. There are honest ways to address education without attempting to go medieval on people.
Kudos to both the President and Jeb Bush for putting their ideological differences aside, and getting involved in the education issue. Now why don't you two get married, and solve the gay marriage issue? :mrgreen:
