This Tuesday, February 22nd article by the Philadelphia Inquirer's Jodi Enda talks about
             President Bush's visit to Townsend, Tennessee elementary school. In his visit, the
             president got the chance to sit in some classrooms. But he was there mostly to speak more

             I'm not to sure about how many of these new ideas will be accepted by congress.
             There is no way that everyone will agree on the plan. I really hope that most of the plan
             does go through so that there will be some changes. I think now is a really good time to
