Obama Live. National Lab Day will help students "get their hands dirty", need to recognize students

[NYC_SKP]

He mentioned the way that athletes are held in such great regard in America, and how we need to recognize other fields of achievement.

Yes, we do.

:applause:

1. I've been waiting my entire life for a President to say this.

And as usual the MSM is completely ignoring it.

[rocktivity]

2. National LAB Day? I thought the Obamas had a Portuguese water dog.

And I thought the kids were in charge of cleaning up after him!

3. I was glad I caught it! MSNBC 's Tamron Hall spoke over video of Obama and she said, "We're

watching President Obama right now. He's highlighting several initiatives designed to boost science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Again, we're keeping an eye on this event for the President to hear what he has to say. Perhaps even see if he'll say something about the healthcare vote that happened over the weekend. But, we're NOT gonna listen in live, but we will certainly monitor the President's comments and bring to you any news if it is made today." She said all this while showing video of the event. :eyes:

4. The President mentioned that he hasn't once been asked about Education Policy by Media...

...during any significant pressers.

I don't have the precise context, but the point was that they don't care.

Education isn't sexy or controversial enough.

And he aims to change that.

5. that's a damn shame.

7. Sarah Palin gets 100 times the coverage our PRESIDENT gets. n/t

8. It's up to us, then. When that video goes online, it's up to us

to make it go viral.

9. Yep! And I do want to watch it again, some powerful things were said.

And I know he means it.

He gets a lot of crap from some progressives over his willingness to promote private partnerships with schools.

I'm in education and when I was a teacher I got three grants from corporations and these made all the difference in what I could do.

:toast:

6. I saw him say that-that not one reporter asked him about Education policy YET...

and he's exactly right. They DON'T care. MSNBC covered Prince William's possible engagement to his girlfriend instead. :eyes:

10. We are doom

This is a dam shame the media is destroying this country and no one is tying to stop them exact the president, and john stewart. We need to boycott their asses before it's to late. Wake up American, Let's take back our Country from the Media. Stop watching Cnn, MSNBC, Fox, we have to make a stand, the congress is to scare to stand up to them they are to big. we the people have to. We got obama(a black man) elect, we got lou dodd fired, we can do this. Yes We Can. Get all your information off the Internet, but some one have to lead us cause we need to be organized for it to work.

11. Thanks for the reply, welcome to DU!

Yes, I think most of us trust Internet sources more than TV, but watch anyway.

Writing letters to sponsors of shows, like the Glenn Beck show, helps.

This country is coming out of a dark period of time, and I support and love our president.

YES WE CAN!
