Barack Obama Back to School



Eric Schultz? @EricSchultz
@BarackObama made a surprise visit to McKinley Tech HS here in DC to welcome back students as they start a new school year.




Barack Obama: These young people that I met at McKinley Tech today are the reason I'm hopeful about the future. To all the young people headed back to school around the country: Make us proud. You're the next generation of leaders, and we need you.
