This is really sad and breaks my heart. Kids should never be political pawns, alas, Barry is putting the NEA above the children. I can't wait to see the apologists creative excuses for this one, since Obama can do no wrong. I'm really mad about this one.

It's political and racial. The voucher system was set up for poor inner city black kids to get out of their failing schools, despite tons of money being spent. Unions over poor black kids.

P.S. The video is over 5 minutes long and you responded in 3; just sayin'.

Sometimes silence on a particular topic says more then 1000 words.

The 95% of black people that voted for Obama say that you are wrong.

Sad, yes... but necessary... vouchers are not a long-term solution to the problem.

Huh? You did not even watch the video, or you wouldn't have even written what you wrote. You rushed to defend Obama, and you don't even know what you're defending. pathetic.

Why do you say that, when the evidence proves to the contrary? Watch the video, please. it's only about 5 minutes long.
