Last year I watched a cSPAN special on education with educators, two stood out, the rest were clearly the problem, not the solution, one who stood out was Rhee. She was making strides in DC until Obama and now the voters cut the legs out from under her by firing the Mayor who supported the change she was trying to bring. The other was the man in charge of education in NOLA after Katrina and he was basically 1000% pushing charter schools and said that is was the model they were using in the rebuilding in NOLA after Katrina. IIRC he got a job in Chicago after Obama took her buddy to DC, I thought it was a difficult fit for an innovator to be thrown into the Chicago lions-den. The rest of that education panel were full blown unionists and they are the problem. I support Sharon Angle and others running who want to undo what Carter started — Federal control over our education.
Education, energy, foreign affairs,terrorism,the economy; when you thing of all the areas that need to be rebuilt/revisited,the environmental movement, its endless.When our side takes over in 2012,it will take 4 years just to begin to take back the country and even then it will be a relentless job to get it all done.
You could tell Rhee looked like she was walking on eggs today.
That’s interesting, Carolyn. Rhee was the only one I actually tried to listen to this morning. I thought she chose her words carefully. Yes, the Mayor just lost the election. Idiot voters in DC. They never learn.
