32. What part of "Medicare and SS weren't giveaways to the private sector" don't you understand?
You just repeated the DLC talking point that I refuted up-thread. Gotta come up with a new talking point, DLC strategists. That one isn't working.

As far as education bills are concerned, Obama supports No Child Left Behind and has appointed an education czar who supports vouchers. When is NCLB going to be improved so that it doesn't force teachers to teach to the test instead of inspiring students to become truly educated and intellectually curious?
