Cal
Thomas points out the irony
of Barack and Michelle Obama practicing school choice in Washington,
DC. Excerpt:
Parents who put their children first are to
be admired and emulated. Politicians who are parents and who have the power to
let others make the choices they can make, but refuse to do so, are
inconsistent at best and hypocrites at worst.
Throughout the campaign, Barack Obama
presented himself as a champion of the poor and middle class. Poor and
middle-class parents do not love their children any less than the Obamas love
their daughters. They want their kids to have a good education, realizing it is
their ticket to a better life. But liberal politicians deny them that right. Is
that fair?
