The response from the DNC about wild-eyed Republican furor over Obama's education address is pretty funny (via Washington Monthly).
“What this absurd episode shows is that the GOP can in fact come up with new ideas. For example, it’s now clear that the new Republican education platform will argue against personal responsibility, hard work and staying in school.”
Cheeky it may be, but very appropriate for opposing a President who wants to talk to kids directly and encourage them to do well in school. It helps that it would have come from a President who didn't descend from a legacy or a well-heeled family.
Remember when having the President as a messenger of the positive effects of school was a widely accepted notion?
