Community colleges play an important role in helping people transition between careers by providing the retooling they need to take on a new career. I'm so overexposed, I'm making Paris Hilton look like a recluse. If there's an Arab-American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney or due process, that threatens my civil liberties.It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get to where we are today, but we have just begun. Today we begin in earnest the work of making sure that the world we leave our children is just a little bit better than the one we inhabit today. Money is not the only answer, but it makes a difference. The pundits like to slice and dice our country into red states and blue states: red states for Republicans, blue states for Democrats. But I've got news for them, too. We worship an awesome God in the blue states, and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the red states. We coach little league in the blue states and, yes, we've got some gay friends in the red states....We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America. There's not a liberal America and a conservative America - there's the United States of America.To the extent that we've got a fiscal crisis right now, part of it is prompted by a bullheaded insistence on the part of the president, for example, that we should extend all of his tax cuts, make all of them permanent. We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and the will, but not the money, can still get the best education possible. We need to internalize this idea of excellence. Not many folks spend a lot of time trying to be excellent. When we send our young men and women into harm's way, we have a solemn obligation not to fudge the numbers or shade the truth about why they are going, to care for their families while they're gone, to tend to the soldiers upon their return and to never, ever go to war without enough troops to win the war, secure the peace and earn the respect of the world. |
