Obama's budget effectively eliminates the scholarship program that has
allowed 1,900 poor Washington families to finally have the same right as
almost all of The Arena's regular contributors: the choice of whether to
send their children to a government-run or privately-run school. Obama,
realizing how this budget has exposed him and Michelle to charges of
hypocrisy because of their persistent rejection of public schools for their
own children, lamely assured the affected families that he would support
separate legislation to continue the program. However, he said so knowing
full well that no such bill will ever come out of the Democratic Congress,
which transforms him and his wife from being common hypocrites to unusually
shameless ones.

Here we have the public option school system, and yet he rejects this system
for his own children.
Strange.
