Every day families in the United States face the stark choice between a roof over their heads and food on the table. Buying health insurance owning a home and saving up for college are just too far out of their reach.

If you have a student who graduates from college and they don't have a job they are now able to stay on their family health plan.

The fact is if we do our job right if we keep worrying not about polls but about the jobs of the American people about their health care about their ability to educate their kids stay in their homes and own their homes send their kids to college the basic pillars of a middle-class life if we keep worrying about the future and building a stronger future for this country these things will take care of themselves.

One half who graduate from college never read another book.

I went to military college in Canada and graduated as an officer in the Navy but also as an engineer.

Having a college degree gave me the opportunity to be... well-rounded. Also the people I met at the university most of them are still my colleagues now. People I've known for years are all in the industry together.

Our record number of teenagers must become our record number of high school and college graduates and our record number of teachers scientists doctors lawyers and skilled professionals.

The college graduate is presented with a sheepskin to cover his intellectual nakedness.
