One Trick. That's it?
Unfortunately for Bush, there was not a single question about education during tonight's presidential debate. While dodging important questions about jobs, wages, affirmative action and divisiveness in America, Bush ducked and hid behind third grade kids. No fewer than four times did Bush invoke his magical goal of raising test scores.
JOBS: What do you say to someone who has lost his job to someone overseas?
Bush: No Child Left Behind!
WAGES: Is it time to raise the minimum wage?
Bush: No Child Left Behind!
RACE: Do you see a need for affirmative action programs?
Bush: No Child Left Behind!
UNITY: Will you set a priority in bringing the nation back together?
Bush: No Child Left Behind!
That's George W. Bush's complete domestic agenda: No Child Left Behind. He signed it into law on January 8, 2002 within one year of taking office. He then did not fully fund it, teachers hate it, and still he hopes it will solve every problem facing America today.
We need a top dog that can learn some new tricks.
