Obama: Community colleges are 'unsung heroes of American education'

"they're one of the keys to the future of our economy," Obama said 

And he's right.  ONE of the keys.  Especially if they get back to their primary mission of workforce-education (instead of trying to become little Harvard's).  Yes, credit should be transferable to a 4-year college...  but...  this is not the primary idea behind Community College's.  Let's train the bright intelligent people who are under-employed,  and give them real skills, for real jobs.
