Oprah recently did a feature on the problems within America's educational system, focusing on inequitable distribution of resources. Bill and Melinda Gates were guests on the show, and their message was 'if we don't do something about our educational system, this generation will not have the skills to execute the jobs of the future and America will lose its status as a world power.' Time magazine worked in conjunction with the show and has done a feature on the issue. There is a focus on inner city schools and the differences between them and their suburban counterparts. Oprah's message is to 'elect someone who is going to make a difference and change this and all the other things we in America think are important.' Obama is never mentioned, but it's clear she's selling him.
Do you see the union of some of the most powerful people in America as positive, negative, or are you indifferent? Why? Thank you in advance for your opinions.
