What on earth is Obama thinking??
Obama "Open" to Privatizing Public Education
Senator Obama said this week that he is open to supporting private school vouchers if research shows they work.
"I will not allow my predispositions to stand in the way of making sure that our kids can learn," Mr. Obama, who has previously said he opposes vouchers, said in a meeting with the editorial board of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "We're losing several generations of kids, and something has to be done."
Education analysts said Mr. Obama's statement is the closest they have ever seen a Democratic presidential candidate come to embracing the idea of vouchers.
I'm a former Edwards supporter and before that in 2004 was a Howard Dean supporter. I will have problems working for a candidate that plays issues down the middle. In this case, Obama is playing it down the right.
I know candidates can't be everything to everybody but this really does concern me.
