President Obama's blueprint, which was sent to Congress on Monday, sets forth an ambitious national standard - to have all students graduate high school ready for college or a career...
...line of attack seemed to be gathering momentum. The delayed Congressional Budget Office estimate of how the revamped bill would affect the federal deficit has created a convenient opening for Republicans to shift the narrative from the substance of the Democratic legislation to the process by which it may be passed through Congress.
