is seeing if we can get an assault weapons ban reintroduced.(but) in my hometown of Chicago, there’s an awful lot of violence, and they’re not using AK-47s, they’re using cheap handguns.”
Obama makes it known, he will work to ban assault weapons and handguns.

Bipartisan is still political. Everything the government does is political - all that is really implied when someone speaks of being 'above politics' or 'bipartisan' is that is conforms with the political machinery of both of the major party apparatchiks' agendas. That means they can still be screwing over the rest of us.

“Americans are faced with a choice between the stupid party and the evil party and once in a while the two parties get together and they do something that is both stupid and evil. This is called bipartisanship.” - Thomas Woods, Jr.; author of Meltdown and the Politically Incorrect Guide to American History.

Well, it is refreshing to see that its still possible for people on opposite ends of the political spectrum to come together for the greater good.

However, an instant fix to education IMO, is just better parental involvement. Most schools don't need more $$$, they just need to better spend the money they have. The only thing I could see spending $$$ on is to give teachers better pay to lure some of the top people in whatever subject to teach instead of mediocre C-average college grads.

But in the end, it still comes down to parents pushing their kids to do well and working with their child's teachers, and not against them, to help their child succeed.

The 'greater good' according to whom? Why do I have to pay for their State-run Child Indoctrination system, I didn't even go to public school.

Do you not agree that an educated populace is for the greater good?

I don't agree that what goes on is education. It's Bismarkian nationalism, turning children into fit subjects inculcated with the reigning ideology.

What's more, I hardly know what people imagine they mean when they say, 'greater good'. And I certainly won't countenance robbery for it's support, and if you think taxation is otherwise I suggest you try not to pay them.

Cute. Maybe they can also go on a "be nice to puppies" tour.
As much as I support teachers and education, I think the public school system needs the great final overhaul of being done away with.
That does it, you're cool.
