Toomey Praises Obama’s Inspiring School Speech

Allentown, PA – U.S. Senate candidate Pat Toomey called President Obama’s speech today to school children in Arlington, Virginia “an inspiring and moving speech for students across America.”

“Education is the cornerstone of our country’s future,” Mr. Toomey said, “and it is important that we relay that message to our young students.  The President’s emphasis on responsibility and the personal stories about his own education are exactly the kind of inspiring messages our children need to hear from our country’s leaders.”

“I know that I would not have had the opportunities I have today if not for the education I received as a young student.  My parents and my teachers instilled in me the importance of hard work and education, and it is a message I try to instill in my own children.  It is important that we make sure all students are similarly inspired.”
