He didn't need it. It was overwhelmingly supported by Dems. It was the GOP that kept trying to stop it.
I'm glad you're admitting that the DEM NCLB garbage is a disaster. And we ARE applauding it.
Ignorance is a common trait of the radical right
This was when we had a republican house that presented the bill, a split senate where more dems voted against it, and a republican president that signed it.
Keep trying to put the extreme right spin on it all you want, and I know it's impossible for the right to ever man up and admit they screwed up, but Bush signed it, he owns it.
There's also that little fact that now speaker Boner was the key driving force in the bill, here he is front and center right next to W (and appears to be crying like usual) when he signed the bill
You need to brush up on your history, son. No Child Left Behind was the darling of DEMS. All they needed was a RINO in the WH to come on board, and it happened. Yea, supported at the time by Obama.
And yes, it is a disaster.
Apparently "Bipartisan" isn't a word in some people's vocabulary.

Bush didn't just sign it - he proposed it in the first place and asked Kennedy, Boehner et al. to author it.
I wonder why some keep choosing to ignore that?

You do realize that NCLB was the product of Ted Kennedy ?
Kennedy was the initial sponsor of it. It was Kennedy who worked with Bush and the Repubs to get a BIPARTISAN bill done and passed.
And for all those lauding the waivers..NCLB is not dead. The waivers are for the 100% proficiency in 2014. But in place of that states must adhere and accept parts of RTT (Race to the Top).

Are you aware of the details of that program ?
They're not. And the **** will really hit the fan when they do find out.
