There is no doubt that this election cycle is stirring up a lot of feelings: anger, frustration, and disappointment prominent among them.<BR/><BR/>I agree, enough is enough. In a recent television ad in North Carolina, Barack Obama promised to recruit more teachers and to pay them more. I'm wondering how he's going to accomplish that? Since when did the President of the United States dictate to local school boards how to pay their teachers or provide money to hire teaching staffs when faced with declining enrollment?<BR/><BR/>At least Hillary Clinton is offering details of substance--whe does have awesome policy experience; however she is undercutting her own strengths by pitting Americans against Americans in this kitchen sink fight to win the nomination instead of doing some inspiration of her own.<BR/><BR/>I loved Barack Obama's quote in Time Magazine: "She's (Hillary) throwing the kitchen sink at me, she's throwing dishes and the buffet is coming at me too."<BR/><BR/>It's a hilarious line, but it's very sad it that it's a destructive strategy for our nation.<BR/><BR/>In any case, Sunday morning, when I wrote the post, I definitely felt the lyrics to "The Prayer" were appropriate, and Sheila pointed me to a great new version of the song that I had never heard before.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by and taking time to read my thoughts. It's definitely going to be a rocky process.Matthew S. Urdanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15423237354496730048noreply@blogger.com
