I bet one well used word will be ‘invest’.

[inkling]

The campaign is not releasing advance details of new initiatives Obama may announce here.

Because they don't know what they are yet.

[Coldwater Creek]

And, every sentence will contain something about George W. Bush.

[Chet 99]

Because they don't know what they are yet.

They'll hire a pollster and a focus group for that.

[BunnySlippers]

Zzzzzzzz

He;s struggling to stay relevant.

[Tarpon]

He is going to fire the teacher unions, or promise them more money so they campaign for him. hmmm tough choice.

I hope he doesn’t follow the same plan he and Bill Ayers used in Chicago, cause that was ahuge waste of money. Indocrination centers for kids, who though that was agood idea.

Women are walking out on the big Zero, got to do something quick.

Closed event?

What a coward. Shivering in his boots and soiling his drawers about real questions getting asked, with real, CONCRETE responses expected.

[johniegrad]

Hang on to your wallets.

[Nervous Tick]

>> Closed event? What a coward.

And desperate!

Ginning up some friendly unopposed coverage.

Oh, not another “major policy address”!

I expect this one will also be touted by Olbermann, Mathews et al as the “best speech since Lincoln’s Gettysburg address,” like all his other ones, but as usual no one will be able to remember a word of it an hour later.

[VanDeKoik]

When the teachers unions are pulling for you, all you can expect is half-assed accountability promises and more government money.

Sen. Obama will speak at 10:30 a.m. before an invited crowd. The event is closed to the general public. "I'm hoping to hear what changes we need to make us competitive in the 21st century," said Mark Owen, Montgomery County Democratic Party chairman. "So often we are being left behind in the competition with other countries." The campaign is not releasing advance details of new initiatives Obama may announce here. He has called for expanding early childhood education programs such as Head Start, a new accountability system for educators, providing more help to struggling schools, and improving efforts to keep students from dropping out.

By using my amazing psychic powers, I dedude it will involve throwing 100's of billions of dollars down yet another black hole and his picked audience and media will swoon.

Oh... like and Insurance Annuity Investment Seminar Sales errrr... Informational gathering.

Anybody see any "change" here? Looks like the usual political pandering to the NEA.

“Ginning up some friendly unopposed coverage.”

Bingo.

[Owen]

This is about women voters.

Sarah needs to talk about education too, but on a more personal level. Fight for the women voters. Women are a LARGER percentage of the electorate than men.

Obama's word: "There are enormous costs to that blunder. It's the equivalent of them driving the car off the ditch."

I sure hope his education policy includes plans to teach kids that you drive a car off a cliff, not off a ditch as he suggests.
