>>I must have missed it, what is Obama going to do in order to promote HS graduates to be capable of an earning an engineering degree, or be ready to graduate into medical programs?

He has not shown any success in areas where he has dedicated years of efforts. The murder and mayhem in schools in Chicago has not changed.<<

Quehubo -

So he should have fixed all of that in his three years of work in the community? Or should have have fixed them while in the State Legislature?

As for helping HS students to get a degree, he has proposed a program that would allow students to get financial help for college if they spent x number of years doing service within their community. He has also supported legislation to reward our veterans with money for higher education.

His first bill in the Senate sought to increase the maximum amount of the Pell Grant to $5,100.
