9. Of course he does. Where do you think $100B of Obama's stimulus package has gone/is going to?

"The $100 billion in education monies in the economic-stimulus package aims to stem huge cuts by states, fund programs for special education, low-income students, and early-childhood initiatives, and provide incentive to everyone, from teachers to state officials, to think in terms of reform."

When is the last time a U.S. president invested this much in the education system? I don't recall any President in my lifetime doing so. Of course, President Obama wants to improve schooling on many levels instead of maintaining the status-quo: http://change.gov/agenda/education_agenda/
