Prediction: Conservatives will politicize the Obamas choice of school for their daughters
Remember in 1993 when the Clintons were attacked by conservatives for sending Chelsea to a private school? Supposedly, this made them "hypocrites" because they did not support vouchers. Conservatives whined about it for weeks.

Look for these conservatives to do it all over again if the Obamas send the girls to a private school.

1. They already go to a private school-
this is a non issue.

2. I think the Clintons sent Chelsea to Sidwell Friends (Quaker school)
because Jimmy Carter's daughter went to public school and didn't have much privacy

I think most reasonable people understand that children need some privacy

I would guess that Sidwell Friends is where Obama's children will go
