Gov. Scott greets Obama in Miami

Gov. Rick Scott and his wife, Ann, greeted President Obama when he landed in Miami.

A pool reporter asked Rep. Frederica Wilson, who traveled with Obama, what she thought of Gov. Jeb Bush joining the president at a high school in Miami.

"She put her hand on the top of her sequined cowboy hat, bowed her head with great drama and shook it, as if in despair. She said she had been in the legislature when Bush was governor, and they were constantly at odds over education. “He and I were like this,” she said, clenching her fists and knocking them together.

Wilson said she had been a school principal and then a member of the school board, and the school we are visiting – Miami Central – was in her district. She said the school’s demographics are changing from all white to other races. Wilson was asked about reauthorizing No Child Left Behind and she said she has some concerns.

“We have to be careful about what it is we’re doing,’’ she said. “You can’t assume that all children are cookie cutters.’’ and “You can’t just test and test, you’ve got to teach and teach.’’
