‘Puter thinks the press should rub P.E. Obama’s nose in his hypocrisy. It is fair to note that P.E. Obama’s actions belie his rhetoric. Unions, among his greatest contributors, have made the schools ineffective and dangerous. P.E. Obama doesn’t care about the consequences of his support for a failed system, so long as the campaign contributions keep coming.<\/p>\n

Rather than condemning his daughters to the educational Hell his party has created, supported and perpetuated for D.C. Residents, P.E. Obama, like most of Congress, buys his daughters’ freedom and ignores the suffering of those who remain.<\/p>\n

If you’ve got money, you get school choice. If you’re poor, you get the shaft. So much for hope and change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
