George Lakoff wrote about President Obama’s speech on April 13 at George Washington University. Here is a President with the right message at the right time to deal with a crisis.
As Mr. Lakoff points out this moral vision of America is just what progressives need to use to deal with any topic proposed by conservatives. You can adopt these ideas to work in any state on any topic. There is a basic moral vision that can be used to address any topic. I took Obama’s speech and edited it to apply only to funding public education in Oregon. I added details about education and deleted much of the deficit talk and references to Social Security and Medicare. I added details about how teachers are not the ones to blame. Poverty levels are the primary cause of low student performance in school.
