Quote of the Day

President Obama has threatened a veto [of Congressman Obey’s plan to send $10 billion to school districts to avoid teacher lay-offs, some of that money coming from Race To The Top funds] . Keep an eye on it. If this Democratic president stops that Democratic congressman from knee-capping school reform to protect unionized teachers from the world the rest of us live in, you can mark down August 2010 as a first step back from the crack-up. That would be the kind of change Mr. Obama’s admirers thought they were getting.
