Loading ...Earlier this month I wrote that if President-elect Obama and his wife decided to send his daughters to a public school in the Washington, D.C. area, I’d have a minor heart attack.
Well, no worries for my ticker:
Obama spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter confirms to CNN the Obama daughters will attend Sidwell Friends school in Washington, DC.
Public schools are always good enough for your kids, but never good enough for theirs.
I don’t mind Obama sending his daughters to private school. Most public schools are terrible. All liberal illuminatis speak glowingly of the public school system, but you never see any of their children attending these schools. And yet, they won’t allow school vouchers for the rest of us who would like the opportunity to send our children to a private or Christian school. If you asked Obama that question, his response most likely would be the same as other questions that were asked of him and never answered–evade! Change the subject! And we’re in for four years of this idiotic presidency!
I can’t get too worked up over it… My folks made quite a few sacrifices so I could go to a darn good private school, and I’m very grateful for it. I would lose a lot of respect for a politician who could easily send his kids to a good school, but chose to send his kids to DC’s school system for political reasons. Yes, it’s hypocritical as you state, but screwing over (probably too strong a phrase) your kids is worse than a bit of hypocrisy, I’d say.
