Michele McNeil has the skinny on the Obama campaign's apparent NEA-Two Step. The campaign put out a statement suggesting that candidate Obama's seemingly thoughtful, measured comments on the subject of vouchers before the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel last week were actually just the same old, tired type of response that people have come to expect from politicians.
Michele notes:
The Obama campaign maintains that the news reports have been "misleading." However, perhaps what the campaign should be doing is emphasizing Obama's statement that he would do "what's best for kids" if the research supports it, regardless of any "preconceptions" he might have. Isn't that what we would like our candidates to say?
Exactly. What was at first a skeptical, cautious, but refreshing response now seems to the same old, same old from a Democratic candidate for office.
