Edwards pushes better education for poor

In Pittsburgh, democratic presidential candidate John Edwards called for measures to strengthen education for poor children and make schools more economically diverse in order to fight poverty.

Edwards traveled in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans, said the tour had shown him that there were different aspects of poverty across the country.
In a radio interview, Edwards said he believed President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney had engaged in "illegal behavior," but he sidestepped a question about whether Bush should be impeached.
I am glad with what he did. But I personally think that Edwards has to take action more than just pusing; he could ignore them after he becomes President.

I think that Edwards will be a great president if he gets elected, even though it is pretty unlikely. I think it is great how we have someone like him that focuses on helping the community and promoting a better education for children. That is what we really need.

I believe that most of the poor do not get or have a proper education. It is a great thing that Edwards is pushing for better education for the misfortunate.

Appealing through education development is truly a wonderful aspect. However, the words and feelings expressed by the contender may not be shown through action when they become overwhelmed in the position of the president.
