When it comes to education, we got to get past this whole paradigm, this outdated notion that somehow it’s just money; or somehow it’s just reform, but no money — and embrace what Dr. King called the “both-and” philosophy. We need more money and we need more reform.
BARACK OBAMA, speech, Jul. 17, 2009
“Of course, what we really need is less government, but I ain’t about to let THAT one happen.”
As usual, Obama’s playing both-ands against the middle.

(P.S.: beware Anonymiss’ Grammar Hammer for “we got,” Bar-Ack!)
…And we need more teachers unions and much, much more socialism.
