Kids aren't going to stay in school/drop out of school based on what they heard in that speech. Their teachers and parents and values have a much bigger impact in that area.
Honestly, a politician going to a school and telling the kids to "stay in school" is about as cliche and ret@rded as telling the public that he's "pro-environment" and "tough on crime." It's one of those things EVERY LAST ONE of them will do, even if he's David Duke from the KKK party.
Democrats were stupid for calling it a publicity stunt too, since Bush was getting No Child Left Behind rolled out. Obama wants to roll out billions for community colleges and regular colleges, and that's why he's doing this. It's not cliche, its' not retarded, it's legitimate only because they are walking the walk, not just talking the talk.
