We is smarter than you think we is

I regularly peruse the findings at http://www.factcheck.org/ simply so I can see what kind of garbage the politicians have been lying to us about lately. It does a great job of exposing how terrible both parties are at keeping the ninth commandment. A recent post was interesting, refuting Obama's claims of the dire situation of our education system. Highlights:

1. He said the high school dropout rate tripled in the past 30 years. The DOE says it declined by 1/3.
2. He said 8th grade math scores have fallen to ninth place compared with other countries. Actually, they have risen to that level, with a low of being in 28th place in 1995. Remember, the alligator eats the bigger number.
3. He said he wanted us to have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world by 2020. Currently we are in second place to Norway, trailing by one percent.

I thought this was interesting because there is actually something good that this nation is acheiving compared to the rest of the world, among with all of the other frog spit that we churn out on a regular basis, and our president doesn't want us to hear about it! He just wants us to be scared so we will spend more. Who do you take us for, a bunch of dummies?
