School choice for me, but not for thee

I know you’ll be shocked to learn this, but Barack Obama sends his two daughters to an extremely expensive (elite!) private school run by the University of Chicago. The tuition bill for both kids: $38 grand a year. And, oh yes, Obama opposes school choice. Can’t have people abandoning the public schools. As Obama says, we must devote our resources to improving them, not abandoning them. Like, um, he did. By “we,” he means, “you.” His kids are outta there. Yours are stuck there. Good luck to them.

Kudos to Jim Geraghty for pointing this out.

Comment from Joan Shane in Nashua: Aren`t you free to send your kids to the school of your choice if you have the ways to pay for it? That doesn`t mean that you cannot support public schools. UL is always trying to chance everything Obama says to make it look bad.
