Well I doubt that Obama will do much to push some of the above items through except the hate crime bull crap. a crime is a crime. Just because it happens to someone of a classified minority group doesn't make worse. Nonsense!
He might get the non discrimination for homosexuals passed. We'll see.
As for gay marriage, Obama is a christian and I would be shocked if he cared or tried to get that through the democratically held congress. We must remember they all want to be reelected in 2010 and America is pretty conservative when it comes to this issue.
Throwing money at the school issue isn't going to fix the declining school system's science scores. Hell we fund education more than any other country on earth, and many more than many countries combined. He needs to re do the education system 1st. Starting with scrapping no child left behind. I noticed he never mentioned that. Really its been spend here and spend there. The problem isn't funding as much as it is systemic.
Repealing Don't ask don't tell=Hot men in uniform!
"Reform No Child Left Behind: Obama and Biden will reform NCLB, which starts by funding the law. Obama and Biden believe teachers should not be forced to spend the academic year preparing students to fill in bubbles on standardized tests. They will improve the assessments used to track student progress to measure readiness for college and the workplace and improve student learning in a timely, individualized manner. Obama and Biden will also improve NCLB's accountability system so that we are supporting schools that need improvement, rather than punishing them."
I would call that scrapping NCLB. NCLB isn't just filling in bubbles. Its showing students how to pass tests and if they don't they make the tests easier. And when one student falls behind the idea is to slow the rest of them down to make sure that all students achieve. Perhaps that is the punishment. "Supporting?" you mean throw more money at the problem. Again, not fixing the system unless he scraps it.
