My personal notes/thoughts on Obama’s responses (McCain has yet to respond):
1. Innovation
Will create a service Scholarship program that pays undergraduate or graduate teaching education costs for those who commit to teaching in a high-need school.
Will create Teacher Residency Academies.
Critics will cry “How will we pay for all this education?” The answer is that education pays for itself.
Will mandate broadband Internet connections for all Americans. America’s lack of broadband access is shameful, and this statement show’s Obama gets it .
2. Climate Change
Cap-and-trade solution - the free market solution.
Will create a Global Energy Forum - based on the G8+5
3. Energy
Sets Milestones/Goals for alternatives.
4. Education
Recently introduced the “Enhancing Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Education Act of 2008″
