Today's Obama's Ohio Speech and question and answers one of his best


Yesterday's was good today's is better. Concentrating on energy he was detailed and comprehensive.


On the question of how to reassert America in the world what would be his 3 top priorities during his first 100 days:


1) Call in the Joint Chiefs and give them a new Mission - End the war in Iraq


2) Bring Health Care to All Americans


3) Start a 'Manhattan' Project on energy - to cut dependency and reinvigorate the economy with green technology to replace our dependency on oil.

2. and the biggest applaus line was

"If your kid is in trouble at school, don't cuss out the teacher."


Now somehow I just can't see McCain giving that kind of advice - since we all know that he was the kid in trouble at school lol

3. he always says this. and i love that he does
it tells parents that too many of them have become complacent and, i think, some of them are willing to admit it.

5. I set records for having to spend time in the hall


yup for talking too much.

They finally gave up and gave me two desks. One inside and one outside.

In the history of grammar schools in the US probably the only one to ever be escorted outside the class on the last day of school when literally everything goes.

Man would they have loaded me up with chemicals had I been a kid now.
