Meg Whitman flogged ''Waiting for Superman'' in her campaign ad

Does anyone honest to god think Republicans back this kind of education reform because it's good for kids?

You know they would run your kids over pull out their fillings and sell their organs too if they could get away with it.

What will it take to get Obama to shake these scammers loose from his education policy?

1. Oh rilly?

:popcorn:

I guess this is where people pull out the "bipartisan" hat.

Obama has already had Newt Gingrich put his greasy paws all over our current education policy. I'm not sure why he would balk at Meg Whitman.

2. School deform is a bipartisan project. both the left & right wing of the ruling class favor it.

and both the republican & democratic candidates for california governor, as well.

whitman would be worse than brown, but check out brown's record in oakland.

3. yeah, I saw something on Brown. He's tight with Eli Broad, one of the big backers of it here.

4. imagine if a Democrat advocated spending money on something without

any kinds of restrictions on how the money would be used ... there'd be Republicans on every "liberal media" outlet, screaming about socialism or special (union) interest groups.

However, Republicans advocating giving money to for-profit schools? crickets ...

5. because too many Democrats are on board too.
