      I don't think El Presidente developed fracking. And that's the whole point -- the only way a president can affect the price of oil is to launch a moronic Middle Eastern war to disrupt the supply and raise it (like Dubya) or destroy the global economy and crater demand to lower it (like... well, Dubya). Obama wasn't interested in doing either of those things.

            Mehhhh...its a little more complicated than that. Obama is 100% correct to ban oil exports for example. Why should we care about increasing world supply to make oil cheaper for the Chinese? I'd also say a President could increase or decrease fracking to a certain extent via regulatory powers.

                Rewriting 'No Child Left Behind' _ House passes easily

                WASHINGTON (AP) — After years of failed efforts, the House voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to sharply scale back the federal role in American education. But the bill would retain the testing requirement in the 2002 No Child Left Behind law that many parents, teachers and school districts abhor.

                The legislation, approved 359-64, would return to the states the decision-making power over how to use students' test performance in assessing teachers and schools. The measure also would end federal efforts to encourage academic standards such as Common Core.

                The 1,000-plus page measure was a compromise reached by House and Senate negotiators. The Senate is to vote on it early next week and President Barack Obama is expected to sign it.

                  Standardized testing is not the sole answer. I went to private school, and we used to have unannounced teacher evaluations where at any given time, the dean of academics would pop into a random classroom, sit in the back, and observe for a little while. I don't know if that was effective or merely part of the solution, but maybe it's one way to go about it?

                    The problem isn't bad teachers, it's funding schools with local taxes, which perpetuates bad neighborhoods. Fund schools equally and at the state level and treat private schools as businesses.

                    You're still going to get statewide idiocy in TX and KS, but that problem takes care of itself eventually.

                        Tough call. On one hand, it would be really good for the country if we ensured that there were minimum standards out there to help states where education is a struggle. On the other hand, I would hate to see it somehow mess up our good thing up here.

                            Missouri has piled so many unnecessary requirements on abortion providers that it’s down to one clinic in St. Louis. Newman didn’t attempt to limit the state to one gun store — her bill just requires that residents buy their guns at a licensed dealer located at least 120 miles from their homes. After cooling their heels in a local motel for three days, the prospective buyers would have to listen to a lecture about the medical risks associated with firearms and view pictures of people with fatal gun wounds.

                            Most Missouri lawmakers regard themselves as pro-life. Therefore, Newman feels, they ought to want to do something about the fact that St. Louis and Kansas City both rank in the top 10 American cities for firearm deaths.
