Obama Acknowledges Education Crisis February 25, 2009

In the midst of these crazy times of layoffs and scant job opportunities, I can’t help but worry about not just our current economy but the economy 10, 20 years from now which is inextricably tied to our ability to increase access to education and create a larger culture of college-going high school students. So I was really pleased and encouraged by President Obama’s address to the Congress where he expressed his goal of of making the U.S. boast the highest number of college graduates by the year 2020. I am looking forward to seeing how Obama reaches this goal, and I hope our documentary can play some part in raising awareness.
