Bush, “We’ve increased the Pell Grants by over a million students.”
Kerry, “The reason the numbers have gone up is because more people are qualifying for them because they don’t have any money.” But they’re getting less money with each Pell Grant.
The problem, according to our president, is that we’re pushing too many people through school without making sure they’ve learned the basics. He’s right. It’s a problem. Who knows what might happen if we keep going on that track?
Bush said that Kerry’s promising health care that can’t be paid for, calling this a “bait and switch” tactic.
Hmmm….”bait and switch”…why does that sound familiar?
Bush just claimed that Kerry was exaggerating when quoted Bush as saying he wasn’t “that concerned about” Osama Bin Laden.
I’m watching the debate right now at the new UMKC residence hall. I’m logged in to both MSN and AOL IM, if you want to discuss real time.
