Obama On, “Putting Children First”

"I sometimes wonder why there is not more outrage within the Black and Hispanic communities at Barack Obama for his betrayal of these two ethnic groups who voted overwhelmingly for him. I would think that this is an issue that would be of real importance to both those communities, as well as the American community as a whole. Maybe they are still under the influence of the Obama Cool Aid … and still chanting …..

"The simple truth is that this Hope and Change president has destroyed the chances of a good education for minority children in high risk areas like Washington, D.C. Barack Obama’s administration has ended the Hope for Washington, D.C. area children who were able to attend private schools, some on the verge of graduating. The Change is that they will now be back in the failed public school system.

"Some of these fortunate children who had recieved vouchers were even able to attend the Sidwell Friends School, a D.C. area private school where Obama sends his own children. Form his campaing speeches, one might have thought Obama would break the mold … step up … and maybe even lead by example by enrolling his children into the same public schools he is now condemning these children to … since those vouchers, which allowed some families to make up the difference and send their children to this $29000 per year private school, are now history.

"When Obama signed that Omnibus Spending Bill several weeks back, he put into effect legislation that had been included by several congressional democrats that will effectively end the school voucher program, and consign almost 2000 mainly Black and Hispanic school children back to the failed, violent, and poorly-performing D.C. public schools. He has, in effect, ended one of the rare federal programs which has actually achieved some success."
