US Presidency
2013

States with Republican governors are doing it just like a lot of Democratic governors are doing it. Our kids don't care about politics. We should prove that we care about them and make this thing happen. And I am going to keep on pushing, as long as I am President, until we have a situation where every kid is getting a good, healthy start in life and are prepared when they go to school. We're going to take action on proven ideas to upgrade our schools that don't require Congress. So for example, last month, I announced a goal of connecting 99 percent of America's students to high-speed Internet within five years. We're going ahead and taking steps for that to happen right now. Now, some of you may have gone to schools where you had internet in every classroom, but a lot of schools right now, they've got maybe a computer lab, but if you go in the classroom, kids, they don't have it.
