The President recommends education!
"...it is the responsibility of every citizen to participate... So tonight,
I ask every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher
education or career training. This can be community college or a four-year
school; vocational training or an apprenticeship.
- President Barack Obama, speaking before Congress, 2/24/09.
