White House "Reaches Out" to DC's Troubled Schools

The White House recently announced the first internship program specifically for D.C. students, placing them in part-time unpaid positions over the summer. And on Monday, about 2,000 D.C. students from elementary schools that have seen gains in achievement earned the chance to frolic on the South Lawn, receiving coveted tickets to the annual Easter Egg Roll. It's the largest number of tickets given to local schools in more than a century, officials said.

If president obumbles and his ugly, mannish wife actually cared about students in the DC area, they wouldn't pull funding for the vouchers that have been so successful. What they're doing is nothing but window dressing, kind of like putting lipstick on a pig.

Too late, Fred

Obama's been on record since last July as saying he would dismantle that DC voucher program.

We had a national referendum called a "presidential election" last November where citizens went on record as to support or not support his position.

Your side lost.

No vouchers.

Deal with it.
