Obama Addresses the Nation on Education

I have posted President Obama's live stream Youtube video for today's speech for anyone to view.

President Obama's prepared remarks directly from the White House.

There has not been a speech that President Obama has done, that I have not been impressed with.  The reason why I am most impressed with his speeches is not because of their eloquence but because his speeches involve actionable items both accountable to himself as President of the United States and to us, as a people of this Nation.   Just reading the speech I felt empowered and could feel the energy, power and emotion flowing to the children that MAY be listening.   Education doesn't just mean going to college and getting a degree.  I for one, believe that the four-year institution may not be for everyone, but learning is.   I have a personal quote that simply says "your degree is only but a mere tool to help the enhancement of your dreams become reality," meaning also it is not the ONLY tool.  Education is an ongoing process but every process needs its foundation and I am elated that we have a president who is excited and fired up about the education and creating opportunity for EVERYONE to be educate, starting with children.
