So did Obama agree to work with Republicans to make him a one term President? If he did agree to help them what on earth could he possibly do worse to make it happen?
Wikileaks threatens to dump on two major banks in the US and now Russians are going after them? Boy talk about foreigners dong the work Americans won't do.

Don't get too excited about the graduation rates....the kids are definitely leaving without a decent education.  My grandson entered college at age 11 after attending public school (in a good district) only up until the 6th grade and passed the college placement exams for math and English with flying colors--doesn't say much for what the colleges expect a kid to have learned in 12 years.

 Please do us all a favor and continue to follow this story on rising H.S. graduation rates IN COMBINATION with your reporting on the unemployment rate.  Yes, the overall "average" unemployment rate just increased to 9.8%, but it would be some much more effective if your reporting segmented the results by education level--NOT race or ethnic background which is sometimes done.  The Bureau of Labor Statistics Website also reports for those 25 years and older, the unemployment rate is 15.7% for those without a H.S. diploma, 10% for H.S. graduates with no college, 8.7 for H.S. graduates with some college or an Associates degree, and 5.1% for college graduates.  Wouldn't it be cool if that was on a sign at the entrance to every H.S. and Junior H.S. in the country, so kids could see it every day?

Keep up the good work!
