		<description>&quot;Obama’s Only Criteria: Is There Something In It For Me?&quot;

I&#039;ll give that a BIG Amen!

C David Dent: Regarding the vouchers...are you under-informed, or are you misleading people intentionally?

The current year budget for the District of Columbia allocates $26,555 per pupil for k-12 education — up from $24,600 last year. Meanwhile, the Department of Education puts the average tuition at voucher schools at $6,620. So vouchers are getting better results at one quarter the cost.

		<description>As for the vouchers: This is $7,500 for each of 200 families.  That equals $1.5 Million.  With that kind of money you can run a summer school program for 1200 students or one-on-one tutoring for 500 students. 

I think you could beat the 3.1 months of reading improvement for more students (that being the net effect of the vouchers for those 200 students according to the article).</description>

		<description>FTA: &quot;10:15, but they say they arrived at 10:25 instead, and couldn’t get in.&quot;
also FTA: &quot;...the group was actually supposed to be there at 9:30, but they held the gates for the group until 10:30&quot;

Valuable lessons kids: Be on time, leave early enough to get there at least 1/2 hour early and make sure you know what time your appointment is for.</description>

		<description>This is not surprising at all considering he voted 4 times AGAINST the Born Alive Infant&#039;s Protection Act, that would provide medical attention to babies who were born alive from a botched abortion? Thanks to Jill Stanek&#039;s testimonies..the truth of such atrocities has surfaced..and what is our President doing about it? NOTHING.</description>
