At the Saddleback forum, he characterized "rich" as over $250,000 a year, not $48000.

And according to the Tax Policy Institute, people earning under $60K/yr will see a bigger tax DECREASE under Obama's plan than McCain's.

Acquaint yourself with actual fact before opening your stupid mouth.

In my hometown, here in the South, recently a high school honor student, straight 4.0 average, valedictorian of her granduating class, started college and had to take remedial courses because most of the university's freshman courses were over her head.

I saw another girl on the Oprah show, when Bill and Melinda Gates were on not long ago. Same scenario. I can't imagine how I'd feel if I was one of those girls. Depressed is an understatement.

On May 15, this past year, I was a in a panel discussion for the Regional Summit on Innovations in Education: Empowering the Grassroots with Educational Options. Part of the No Child Left Behind act. There were delegates from all the states. I represented Special Needs Education. I got there early, even though my panel was last. I sat through all of the other discussions.

I heard one black mother tell how she graduated from high school in the projects and never knew math except basic elementary school addition and subtraction. She didn't want her children to suffer that fate.

Another family, dirt poor, black, talked about how helpless they feel trying to get a good education for their children. It's a steep hill they have to climb with lots of pitfalls every step of the way.

On and on it went. Delegates got up and spoke about the initiatives they were working on to curb this basic wrong in our society. Some of them were doing a good job in their states. They talked about DC Opportunity Scholarship Program, the Federal Charter School Program, and other Federal Initiatives. It was heartening to hear of these advances, but I knew it was only a drop in the bucket of abject poverty and related lack of educational opportunities here in America.

Obama speaks to mostly that scenario when he talks about Education. His own people. Bill Cosby has spoken on this subject in depth. I grew up in the inner city in the North. I was one of about half the white sudent population. I got a good education. That was a long, long time ago. The late '50s and 'early '60s. When my younger sisters attended the same school years later, it was mostly gang-war and very little education. The neighborhood had gone down, and so had the school.

It's impossible to equate our educational system in this country with that of decades ago. It's worse. It's failing so many students. My daughter is a school teacher, along with two neices, and I have a sister-in-law who just retired after 32 years. Their stories tell a lot. My husband taught special ed classes a few years ago at an inner city school. His stories are almost unbelievable.

As a Christian, I believe there are so many issues that need tending to and radical reform that you almost have to pick the most important to you. My pastor said recently, on the right-to-life issue, every human being has the right to life, not just unborn babies. What about the men and women in Iraq? The Americans being killed and the Iraqis being killed as well. What about the people who live in desolate poverty with no way out? What about their children who will stay in the projects and never get enough education to get out? What about the old and sick who can't afford the medicine they need to stay alive? What about the people who have millions and lots of houses and don't want to change anything in the country? Hard decisions.
