President Bush Discusses the No Child Left Behind Act – January 7, 2007
President Bush on Monday said, “Tomorrow is the 6th anniversary of the day that I signed the No Child Left Behind Act into law. And since that day we’ve come a long way, fewer students are falling behind. People are beginning to get used to the notion that there’s accountability in the public school system. Look, I recognize some people don’t like accountability. In other words, accountability says if you’re failing, we’re going to expose that and expect you to change. Accountability also says that when you’re succeeding you’ll get plenty of praise.”

Statement by the President on Kenya
I welcome the visit of African Union Chairman John Kufuor to Nairobi
to help facilitate a dialogue to resolve Kenya’s political crisis. I
condemn the use of violence as a political tool and appeal to both
sides to engage in peaceful dialogue aimed at finding a lasting
political solution. The Government of Kenya has acknowledged that
voting irregularities have occurred, and the Orange Democratic
Movement has pledged to refrain from further protests that could
detract from reconciliation efforts. I now urge both sides to enter
this dialogue in good faith to earn back the trust of the Kenyan
people, who deserve a political process that reflects their dedication
to democracy. I remain heartened by the voices of peace that have
emerged through Kenya’s robust media and civil society. The United
States supports their efforts to continue to hold their political
leaders to account. -
