President Obama announced today his plans to again unilaterally change federal education policy as part of a new “We can’t wait” campaign, charging Congress with “obstructing” his plans to reshape education and the federal budget.

Wielding his executive authority over the Department of Education, Obama will require below-par Head Start national preschool providers to compete for federal funds. The president has already used his extensive power over the department to restructure federal student loans and waive the largest federal education law, No Child Left Behind.
