Charlotte, N.C.
President Obama argued that his economic policies would do more to protect the needs of students and schools than those of his Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, in a speech Thursday night in which he accepted his party's nomination to pursue a second term.
Obama's address at the Democratic National Convention stuck mostly to broad themes articulating his view of government's important role in society—a role which includes supporting a strong education system, and the needs of impoverished students within it.
