Barack Obama proposed this bill at the end of last year, and it just passed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee with unanimous consent on Feb 13, 2008. Heres a link to the bill.

Did any of you see it? It was so wonderful for Mitt. Tim Russert HATES Mitt and he thought he would be throwing him a tough question when he asked him if he minded running against both Hillary and Bill.

I'm thinking about my kids when they get old enough to work. In the area where we live, they would benefit and have more opportunities if they were bilingual. I'm trying to decide how I feel about that.
