Vouching for Obama
Andrew Coulson has a good read on National Review Online on Obama's "open mind" (apparently now closed) on school choice, noting that Obama is instead using the old rhetoric that we simply need to spend more money.
“Eisenhower doubled federal investment in education after the Soviets beat us to space. That’s the kind of leadership we must show today.” ...
The trouble is, the National Defense Education Act was an expensive failure.

Obama is slick on this topic. If you watch his commercials (after saying we need to spend more money), he says we also need more parental responsibility. Sounds good, but the unions also say that as a means of blaming them for their failure to improve our schools. Not because they want parents actually involved in THEIR business.
