Arne Duncan

[HelenWheels]

He should follow Rahm out the door. Duncan is one of the worst Obama appointments.

1. I disagree. I feel he was one of Obama's BEST appointments.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

4. He's wonderful!

:loveya:

7. How does he look in a bathing suit?

Does his smile light up a room full of union bashers and charter school exec?

Do we not deserve him either?

10. Oh, yeah. His failed Chicago program gone national -- what's not to like?

[mmonk]

2. Absolutely.

[northoftheborder]

3. Duncan is worst in my opinion.

[mmonk]

5. I'm surprised the Club For Growth doesn't support him.

He's cut from their cloth IMO.

[Starry Messenger]

6. Absolutely.

He's of a piece with the rest though. I'm not sure replacing him would lead to a change in the philosophies of the Administration.

8. But then who will you blame for Obama's support of education reform?

[Hissyspit]

11. It's not reform. It's anti-reform.

Union-busting and humiliation and privatizing is not reform.

[JackRiddler]

12. You and the Blue Dog crew? The billionaires club? The neoliberal philosophy? The Bush legacy?

And, of course, Obama.

"Reform," indeed.

9. Gingrich would have been a better Sec. of Ed pick.

Not that there's any philosphical difference between the two. But Gingrich is brighter.

13. I'd like to see a different face, but can't imagine much would change...

though my stomach would have a break for a day or two...

14. He's served his purpose.

By f'in waking up the NEA to the fact that it takes more than just getting a Democrat elected. Teachers should have been in the streets when Duncan's nomination was announced.
