Yet Another Obama Embarassment

Eventually we'll have to be able to get through a day or two without one of these. I hope.

Meet our new Education Secretary Arne Duncan:

Prior to his appointment as secretary of education, Duncan served as the chief executive officer of the Chicago Public Schools, a position to which he was appointed by Mayor Richard M. Daley, from June 2001 through December 2008, becoming the longest-serving big-city education superintendent in the country.

Way to go Brownie Arne:

CHICAGO (CBS) ― Hundreds of students have allegedly been beaten by teachers, coaches and staff at Chicago Public Schools. 2 Investigator Dave Savini continues his ongoing investigation involving the illegal use of corporal punishment.

More payback for the Chicago political machine!

When are people going to realize that Dems lie about caring for people. Dem leaders are only interested in power nothing else. We will see that in this country when thing really start getting bad.

Harvard graduate, grammatically incorrect -

He said "He gave my sister and I the opportunity to start a great school on the south side of Chicago"

Chicago schools ranking 778th out of 842 cities.

A new school will open soon in Chicago, thanks to Duncan. It is the Transportation Academy of Chicago which will have the mission statement of training the city's future bus drivers. OMG.

Frankly, given Obama's record on standing by friends and family, I can't understand why his vetting team hasn't been thrown under the bus yet.

Nancy at it again. We are all screwed.
