Senator Barack Obama

Bad Idea

School vouchers and charter schools are great -- if we want to slowly privatize our schools and funnel much-needed public school funds to private corporations. While we're at it, why don't we privatize Social Security and the military. Blackwater for schools!

I'm glad Senator Obama enumerated how he's voted against the Democrats. It was an effective counterpoint to this tired, phony McCain attack. But it also reminded me about a couple of issues that I disagree with Senator Obama about. Vouchers, charter schools, clean coal.
