I was listening to POTUS on SiriusXm radio and it sounds like Harold Ford Jr.

[JRLeft]

wants to be Secretary of Education if Hillary is elected president. What horrible choice if she wins. More charters and tests.

Wall Street wants full control of our education system. Another way to make a profit.

1. I would love to be her Secretary of Education

I don't think I will be either.

[montanacowboy]

2. You get what you vote for

Stinking DLCers, bastards and corporatist a more of the same all over again

Harold Ford what a POS

[JRLeft]

3. To her supporters he's probably OK.

[Hoyt]

4. He won't get it, but thanks for the concern.

[JRLeft]

5. You know this how?

[saltpoint]

6. He would be a monstrous choice.

Especially when there are so many other much better choices out there.

[JRLeft]

7. He works for Merrill Lynch, maybe he's the choice for funding her

campaign.

[saltpoint]

8. Yep. Ford's words over many years are

way too the right for the elemental Democratic platform.

I set him next to Joe Lieberman on the far right side of the bench.

I hope he is not considered by anybody for a Cabinet post.

[JRLeft]

9. Remember when he tried to run for the Senate in New York?

All of sudden he was pro choice.

[saltpoint]

10. I came across this piece from

the Daily News. Not my most bestest favoritest newspaper, but I take a glance at it once in a while.

I hope Ford's itch to run for the Senate in New York is a thing of the past, although with him you never know.

[JRLeft]

11. He's the definition of DLC. He wants into her cabinet because he will use it as a

launch pad to get back into office.

[saltpoint]

12. I think you've nailed it. I fear the

same.

[JRLeft]

13. Maybe he runs for Governor of New York next time.

14. In Ohio, charter schools in one year, spent $1 Billion to educate 120,000 students

And they're complaining it isn't enough. They say they're going to start asking for corporate $$$. Those corporate donors can then help shape the curriculum.

This of course doesn't include our fracking high school. They're already completely funded by Big Oil. http://www.uticashaleschool.com/

Thanks Hillary!!! (Another of her many, many, many changes in policy stances.)

I stand behind the charter school/public school movement, because parents do deserve greater choice within the public school system to meet the unique needs of their children. Slowly but surely, we’re beginning to create schooling opportunities through the public school charter system-raising academic standards, empowering educators. When we look back on the 1990s, we will see that the charter school movement will be one of the ways we will have turned around the entire public school system.

15. Wall Street knows what's best for us.

16. Pretty much every industry will be sold off if Clinton or some other Republican gets in the

White House. Roads, schools, healthcare, the drug business, parks, drilling rights, prisons, and everything else.
