There are a lot of things I don't agree with Barack Obama. But as a parent, I applaud the decision for private school in DC.
Chelsea Clinton was in public school in Arkansas and put into private school in DC. His kids are already in private school in Chicago. Why put them into a worse public school system?
Yes, DC, one of the top 20 most crime ridden cities in the U.S. When he has to triple the security team for the girls to attend public school (where the sheer number make it much harder to control), you will argue about how much he is costing us taxpayers. If one of the children gets hurt at the school, you will argue why he was so stupid to not ensure the utmost security for his kids. He couldn't win. If you had small children that will likely experience more publicity than any children in US history (as the kids of the 1st African American president) you would want to control how much access the public and the reporters/paparazzi and general crazy people had to them. That means you would be looking at private schools or even home schooling and you know it. God knows it. Too bad you can't admit the truth to yourself.

Gee, maybe he'd like people without the $$$ for private school to STILL be able to offer their children a decent education, terrible, isn't it?

This is going to be a long four years...
Sure glad I shorted a ton of sour grape futures, bumper crop this year
You may want to take out a notepad and take notes the next 8 years on how a REAL president acts, and learn valuable lessons from your wiser liberal elders on competence and proper governance.
Open your eyes and ears and learn something. You might need it, in the unfortunate event that the American people might put you in that office again one day. By then, hopefully you will have learned something.
