MADISON, Wis. – Pushing for a link between student test scores and teacher pay, President Barack Obama on Wednesday dangled $5 billion in federal grants to states willing to undertake a top-to-bottom overhaul of their schools in support of White House priorities.
The day after fellow Democrats lost gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia, Obama tried to turn attention to his education agenda, an area in which he has made significant progress. While the president said his first obligation was bringing the U.S. economy back from the brink of collapse, he added that long-term economic success can only be achieved by making investments in education.

BTW please nobody put me in the same category as that jackass. I know I bash a bit but there is no way I am as mindless as Bob is.

The local news coverage here for a 2.5-hour visit was nuts. So much preparation and buildup. Best story of the day though was this (and is currently the top headline on the local NBC affiliate's website):
Man Wears Cheesehead Hat to Obama Speech
Posted Wednesday, November 4, 2009 --- 2:14 p.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Liberian immigrant Mansfield Neblett told Secret Service agents if he couldn't wear his cheesehead hat to see President Barack Obama's speech, he wasn't going to come.
He made it to Obama's speech, hat and all.
Neblett says the Secret Service determined the hat, frequently worn by Green Bay Packers fans, wasn't a security risk and let him keep it.
He was easy to spot in the crowd of about 500 waiting for the president to speak in the gymnasium of a Madison middle school.
The 46-year-old Neblett says he was wearing the hat because he owes it to the state.
Neblett immigrated to the United States seven years ago from Liberia. His 14-year-old daughter Jennifer is a seventh grade student at the school where Obama was scheduled to speak about education reforms.
