WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says the real risk to America's future is voting the Republicans back in control of Congress.
In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama says the GOP will cut education spending and threaten the country's economic future.
Saying that a quality education is paramount, Obama suggested that federal spending on education is one area where he won't compromise. He says what he's "not prepared to do is shortchange our children's education."
Obama has spent much of the past two weeks contrasting a GOP proposal to cut spending, presumably including education, with the billions he's investing to improve learning from kindergarten through college.
