Sen. Barack Obama joined a disparate panel of business, labor and education officials here today in a wide-ranging conversation on the roles of energy innovation, education and infrastructure improvements as foundations of prosperity.
"If we remain dependent on oil from dictators, we'll endanger our security, imperil our planet, pay more at the pump, and sit on the sidelines while the jobs of the future are created abroad," the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee said as he opened the event before an invited audience in the Carnegie Mellon University gymnasium.
"If we can't give every child in America the chance to get a world-class education, we'll cripple their ability to make a living in a knowledge-based economy and watch China and India move ahead in the race for the 21st century.
"If we can't control skyrocketing health care costs, we'll confront a mounting moral crisis and a major anchor on the ability of American business to compete. If we don't rebuild our crumbling roads, rail bridges and electrical grid, we'll see our standard of living suffer, while we leave our communities less safe from terror or natural disaster," Mr. Obama continued.

Why, this man is a genius.
If we can’t give every child a 10-point bump in their LSAT score...
So can we drill for our own? NO!

"Mellon"? Sounds familiar.

This guy is dangerously ignorant. He is arrogant and his followers fanatical. I think he actually believes the crap he puts forth. No solutions, just a wording of the problems.
And yet his plan calls for remaining dependent on oil from dictators. His party which he supports demands that we beg dictators to increase their oil supply for us. His plan and his party attack the free market companies that supply oil, while leaving alone those run by dictators.
Obama gets a lot of traction because he often says good things. It works because the media refuses to notice that what Obama DOES is in direct opposition to what he says. Except once in a while.
Here are just some of the recent things:
That won’t work. It releases too much Methane, a world-destroying greenhouse gas!

A Hope of Hopes to make democrats feel better as they trade away our manufacturing base.
That's the socialist solution... making everything unworkable so that government take-over is neccesary in energy production, transportation, healthcare and food production. In short, we're in a fight for the survival of the private sector.
That picture reminds me of my 1979 trip accompanying my grandmother on a visit to her ancestral home in Romania. Horses pulling carts scavenged from semi-modern automotive parts was a common sight.
So "we" are going to GIVE away world class educations? Gee, I must be the dumb one here. I worked 5 years in the Gulf of Mexico on a seismic ship and saved my money to go to college in Houston and now do quite well for myself.
My work ethic must be obsolete these days.
Suprise! That pic was from Romania.
