How does an kindergartner earn a education?
Fighting each other to the death. You didn't hear it from me, but I know a guy who knows a guy if you want to get in on some side action.

So you're telling me you don't have 17 minutes to listen to your main man?
I didn't listen to it either, because I was at that job thing that I'm able to do because the stimulus bill prevented the economy from totally tanking. Also, hearing about how we're finally getting out of that war that we shouldn't have been driving up the national debt blowing money on in the first place (particularly while simultaneously decreasing our national intake with tax cuts) doesn't really excite me until we get out of the other war we shouldn't be blowing tax payer money on too. It's like patting yourself on the back for a job that's only halfway done.

Something given has no value; something earned will stay with you forever.
You can't "GIVE" anyone an education. They have to make the effort and put in the work,
After eight years of Bush, NOW you're going to be a stickler for grammar and implied meanings? I'm pretty sure he didn't mean he was just going to start handing out PhD's to preschoolers,
so how about this wording instead:
"If America wants to maintain our status as a world power in the future, the government must take the responsibility to give our children the opportunity to earn a world class education today."
or the bushism:
"I believe a good teaching our children is must for future generations."
