My school had him give a speech about community colleges. We stood in line for an hour, sat down outside for two hours after being searched, and finally he arrived and made the speech. I only got two pictures of him, because the entire time there was a teleprompter infront of his face from my view >.> I did however get a few, I just haven't uploaded them yet. It was just so weird actually seeing a president, not on TV. Pics: http://img43.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=1003252z.jpg

FREEZEPOP said: "What was his speech even about?" He talked about the No Worker Left Behind program in Michigan, which IIRC gives people who are laid off of their jobs 2 years of community college free. He then talked about putting 10 billion dollars into growing community colleges, whether it be the campus, the curriculum or the use of online classes. He said some mumbo jumbo about it not coming out of the taxpayers pocket, but the banks, but I can't remember exactly what he said because at that time I was trying to figure out how long it would take for me to be shot if I stood up really quick and started screaming.
