This one was the best for McCain, by far.
My problem is that I find all the holes in Obama's position, but never remember to write them down.
Here's one on education:
Obama wants to recruit new teachers, especially in math and science. The HUGE problem with that is that we've been near the bottom in math and science for so long that the possible teachers are so inept that they can't teach it. I've seen it. Don't get me wrong, there are some good ones out there. The problem, as I see it, is that when you allow people to major in "early childhood education" or the like but don't require that they know basic math and science. Part of that is understanding WHAT basic math and science are used for. The question of "what will I ever use this for?" stumps them. You can't teach math and science without an understanding of what all this stuff means.
NB: I know several people who are now teaching. Based on my memory, only one has a science degree of any kind.
More tomorrow.
