  • public schools are dogshit

    obama supports socialized education monopolies but he himself went to private schools his whole life and his two daughters currently go to $40,000 a year elementary schools.

    can you say hypocrite

  • LETS ALL DO SOME SIMPLE MATH!! NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND = DEATH, RAPE, AND IDIOTS + MONEY, THE DRAFT, AND BRAIN WASHING + BANNING OF FLAGS AND ARTS+ HIRING N.AZI DIP WAD RELATIVES = THE BIGGEST CON IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!! =Duhhhhhhhhhhhh!

  • @VelvetWind8 private teaches better

  • What's the difference between public and private?

  • Haha at 3:05 till the end the guy keeps saying "alright, alright. thank you. alright." xD

  • Money doesn't make schools better, competition does, better teachers do.

  • For those who think that you have to be filfthy rich to go private school, that's not exactly true. Not to mention not all private school students are snobs. I mean, I'm not a snob and my family is pretty low-class, but I will say that there are a bunch of sluts there.

  • haha, you can make more money sending box tops in to nickelboxtops com. It's sweet

  • Democrats are the ones who brag about how great public schools are...yet their kids go to private schools.

  • What is the big deal with having their kids in private schools? If I was one of those rich bastards I'd tell them the truth. That I don't want my kids going to a public school because we don't fund schools enough in this country, and private schools have a higher performance overall.

  • Yeah, it is a bit stuck up of them to send their kinds to private school, but in their defense, public schools do suck.

  • obama's kids will never see the inside of a public school-and they will rub elbo's with the elite children and probably run for some kind of public office after which obama will teach them to lie-private schools--lie learning--disconnected from society--filthy rich--he will have them so corrupt they will be ready for the presidency by age 18--just like their dad--they will be corrupt and actually think that they are for the poor people--all on this stage are clowns and are not qualified for pres

  • Lol, yeah, your kid's went to public school in kindergarten lol. All of these idiots will send their children to private school. You would be stupid not to if you could afford it. If these idiots advocate so much for public schools, then they should send their kids to the schools that are heavily subsidized and run by government bureaucrats and teacher unions.

  • PRIVATE SCHOOOOOOL! public school sucks monkey balls.

  • Obama Likes Private Schools :O Im Voting For Him!

  • All schools should be private. Government gives school voucher for all students. Parent decide what schools get voucher. Then all schools would want the voucher and make teachers compete for jobs in the schools. 1 bad teacher gets fired and someone good replaces them with good salary provided by the vouchers. Simple as that. Then schools would be pressure into making kids learn or be out of business.

  • HMMM only one candidate in only private schools.

  • Public Indoctrination centers rock.

  • Ah yes, Chicago. What a bastion of political and social enlightenment! :D

  • obama is gettin it ! YES

  • @prittylady72793 getting it coming to him..

  • The host gives Oboma alot of talk time, or am i the only one that notices that?

    Oboma's great & all but he makes alot of publicity appearances and i dont think he should be doing that, like if we were gunna pay for him to be a be all on Opera we would have voted for Hillary. He needs to focus more on bettering America in education, finances, environmental, and foreign affairs.

  • OBAMA YOU SHITHEAD LOOK AT THE GOD DAMN CITY ITS FUCKING DISGUSTING

  • @omghai2u amen

  • Goddammit, Obama sure is a great speaker.

  • there are loads of rubbish teachers in public schools. teaching should be a prestigious job (which it is in some countries), but instead it's almost an embarassment for some people. I have had some brilliant teachers in more challenging classes but some of them do not belong around children

  • @TrueNegro There are also rubbish children who don't want to learn. And the parents of these kids aren't much better half the time. You can't blame the lack of education problem in the USA solely on the teachers, they try their best with what little funding they get to reach what children they can.

  • omg feel so bad for the old guy who's wife and daughter got killed.

    kinda weird, cause since they have children they've had sex

    ...I'm immatue like that

  • If all schools were privatized it would actually be a good thing. First of all, prices would go way down, since every child would attend one. If the kid can't cut it or never goes to class, the parents would most likely take them out, because of the money, most likely to getting them into the workforce earlier or learning a trade; stop wasting time and energy. Secondly, schools would have to compete with each other, individually. Good schools get more students and money, the bad ones go broke.

  • public schools are not "crap". many people had a succesful career just find with a public school. but if you want to go to a private, you have to have the money, 'smartness' haha and a good one.

  • i graduated from high school...but im left behind cuz of shitty paperss..and shitty parents who couldnt get shitty papers..shitness all overr

  • There's an old saying "What's good for the goose is good for the gander!" If its good enough for a Senator, Govenor or congressman's son or daughter to go to, then it's good enough for everyone else's sons or daughters. Simple!!

    School Vouchers!!

  • I went to both a private and public school growing up, the material was essentially the same. Though I feel that the teachers were better at getting me to understand the material at the private school, though that could just be individual and not based on private vs. public.

  • UC Berkeley, UCLA and many other schools around the country beat most of the Private schools in academic excellence and job placement. Proud to be heading to one of those two soon!

  • We'll 90% of public schools are all right to go to, if your not an idiot and mess around with stupid children.

  • Being in public school isn't dangerouse if your not stupid. If your stupid, than yes, because you'll be hanging out with the wrong crowds.

    idiots. .

  • private schools r for pussies

  • If i could do it all over again i would choose public school everytime.

  • I went to public school from K-12 and everything was fine until I got to middle school after leaving high school I told myself that I would never send my kids to public school. There was a gang rape and stabbling in my middle school and the high school had fights daily. We had food fights and everything would be thrown including chairs and lunch trays. It was awful. This is just some of the problems. lol

  • @yvette789799 Sounds like a fun school to me.

  • @LBTennis Maybe you should have went there. I know it has gotten 10 times worst since I went there. One girls was slashed in the face with a box cutter about five years ago it was on the local news. I know all public schools aren't like that but there are some that are horrible.

  • @yvette789799 Again it depends where you live, I've been to schools in NY, NJ and FL never saw anything to that extent. Most of america's private schools are actually really good and I would actually recommend you to 1) move out of that HORRID place (at least from what you make it sound) and 2) send them to a public school and if you're too scared to honestly at least send them to one of those schools that are public but with auditions.

  • @RetartedWaffles Well I left that area years ago and they actually have my old school on youtube showing kids fighting. lol But I'm not going to put the school's name on here.

  • Public schools are very dangerous places. I cannot trust the teachers, principals, supervisors and the chancellor. That is why I will not send my child to a public school in NYC.

    With an eraser, any teacher can change the wrong answers and bubble up the right ones and change the grades to support the statistics.

    Standards and tests are great, but the secrets behind the assessment and evaluation are alarming and you will never understand.

    Long live Public Schools, I will take care of my child.

  • Keep the answers the same and change the question to, will you deny the fact that our public schools are shitty.

  • why is everyone keep saying public school is crap and we take drugs that is not true everyone does that not just public schoolers why does everyone keep saying that we are just lucky we are getting a education private school public home school anyone can take drugs it doesn't matter what kind of school u go to wait drugs u guys are so mean ur crap gosh u think we get pregnat and take drugs all the time just cuz we're public school wow how would you know anyways u never been to a public school

  • I was accepted to both private school and public school (college, major - art). I notice that private school, you start at the beginning at the easiest basics you know and learn in high school and they seem to take advantage and choose the courses for you. I didn't like the fact that i must start from the beginning up and just wasting my time doing it. So i decide to go to public instead. I can take any other courses and learn more instead of one major thing.

  • obama is goood.

  • Who's the guy on the far left?

  • A private school is a PRIVATE school. It does not necessarily mean it is religious.

  • What does it matter if they send their kids to private or public schools?

  • Largely seen as a refelction of their belief in the public school system.

    Also weedles out if they're elitest (no idea how to spell that word-maybe I should of gone to private school)

  • @radconserv86 To be a "practicing Catholic" one has to hold exactly the same views as those currently held by the church? I think our friend Jesus Christ would beg to differ. Whether or not the pope agrees with abortion, the bible never says a word against it.

  • Obama wants you to stay in schools, just not in those PRIVATE schools!

  • @ntn1987 Look he just says he sent his kids to a public schools its like saying "Kids go to a public school and see how the government work it" Why do people look for EVERY SINGLE mistake and flame Obama with it?

  • 0:28 Edwards should have mentioned the more recent kid he had!

  • Hahaha I was thinking the excact same thing.

  • Biden: "I'm a practing Catholic...". Really. That is an absolute lie. If Mr. Biden were a "practicing catholic" , he would fight against abortion. Conversely, he is SO for abortion. Liar.

  • I know and obama gave the most BS answer of them all. I've being going to private school my whole life. You wouldn't guess how many parents that I've met would like to have there kids go to private, but they simple can't afford it. The public school system is a disgrace and it doesn't give the kids and parents enough control. We need more private schools and less government. Or else your just going to get more teens drugged up,pregnant, and out of work after school.

  • Public schools are crap. We need a voucher so you kids can get out of them. That will get grades up and fix the public school system. Also obama answer is total BS. He knows public schools are crap.

  • @cpblackangel88: That's not true, I live in Switzerland and the public schools are better the the private schools and public schools aren't crap...they're still schools and alot of kids in public schools do graduate to be famous and shit...so i'm sorry but your wrong.

  • @cpblackangel88 Actually as little as I agree with Obama usually, I agree with his answer. Except for the, "I will fix that problem as President of the United States,".

  • @cpblackangel88 Obama's answer is always crap.

  • @cpblackangel88 Your comment is complete crap. Public school, however, is not. Public schools do what they are intended to do: teach. Many great, successful people come out of public schools, and that's what so many people forget. The fact that 70% of kids are stupid enough to drop out has nothing to do with the quality of the school they dropped out of.

  • and other random stuff.

    FUCK PRIVATE SCHOOLS!

  • I've been to both, and I prefer public school. At private school, you have bible study class twice a week. They also push you much harder (more homework, assignments etc) and the classes are very boring.

    Also, there are WAY more bullies. About 1/4 of the entire grade 8 were bullies to me. There are also lots of spoiled little rich kids who diss people who can't afford the latest iPods, phones and shit like that.

    There are also far more rules and restrictions (detention for untucked shirt)

  • governments school yaaaaah

  • lol, why are they clapping? Public schools are a disgrace

  • lol yeh i know

  • no they are not i go to a public school it is very ice and we dont talk about god everyday like you might we have funny teachers not racist teachers :)

  • "we don't talk about God everyday like you might--- racist teachers :)" ehh? I go to a public school as well, and before that a private one, private >(10x) Public.. Public schools really fail their students and they are more expensive than private schools and have lower quality

  • They were going to FAIL me in kindergarten in private school because i wasn't social. So i chose public school.

  • Six months studying one book? What book was it? How many pages?

  • at public schools kids take drugs by the time they're 13! BAD!

  • WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!

    You obviously never went to a public school in your life.

    And having been in both, even in public schools were kids do drugs, they do just as much in private, they are just more open about it in public schools

  • and also kids who go to public schools say it would be easy for them to get pot if they wanted some. COMMERCIALS!

  • I think a big factor in all this is the grading standard differences between public and private schools. There was a study done at my University of several elementary, middle and high schools in the state that were public and private and it showed that the only reason private schools had higher "pass" rates was because the standard for a passing grade was lowered to 45%, whereas a "pass" in the public school system was a minimum 60%. Private schools just boast numbers, not good education.

  • i've gone to a private school from pre-k to 10th grade. i hate it so much. it's so depressing. there's hardly any kids there at all. 267 total (pre-k to 12th) i was lucky to find one good friend. but everyone i knew left as soon as they could. it's terrible. the curriculum is terrible. my class spent SIX MONTHS studying one book. i found out today that i get to go to a public school and i almost cried i was so happy =)

  • The big major problem with no child left behind is that while they are making sure that no child is being left behind that they don't let kids who show the need to be challenged excel! The smarter kids get neglected because they want to make everyone at the same level, so our country's IQ is going down more and more and no one is saying anything!

  • ... but the vast majority of kids were the exact opposite. I'm middle class, not rich at all, my dad's in the military and my mum is a teacher (in a public school), and a large number of kids who attended were middle class as well. I dont think the actual education itself is streets ahead, but I think the environment is easier to learn in as the facilities are much better and the resources available to teachers are greater.

  • I've attended both public schools and private schools in my scholastic career, and think that private schools get an unfair amount of generalized hatred and dislike directed towards them. I attended The King's School in Sydney, Australia and it is arguably one of the best/most prestigious private schools in the country. Most people think that private schools are full of stuck up arrogant pricks, but this is not true at all, at least it wasn't at King's. Sure there were the odd few..

  • hey, I go to a private school and I hate it there, I am a strong Catholic, (because of my church, not my school) and I see most kids don't believe in their faith because we HAVE to learn it, I want to be in a public school because the kids at my school are way harsh. Also I want to be in a public school because you aren't instantly marked a "poser" when you try to express yourself, (sorry, I like to feel free) I feel that private is good for some, but not all.

  • The school that I go to is a public charter school that was designed for the children with interests in the arts and of very wealthy backgrounds(I am not rich at all. I am on the border of lower and middle class.). I just to say that the academics suck and I am a bigger outcast here than I was at any other school. This school has a *cough* exspress yourself atmosphere as well and I am frequently called a bandwagon and poser guy because I like what I like and not what isn't mainstream. It's lame

  • I currently go to a Catholic high school and it is not really better than Public school.I went to two middle schools one public the other private.I felt at the Catholic middle school was easier than the Public middle school.

    Not all students all dumb at Public school and not all are smart at Private school

  • so true!

  • The children who know how to think for themselves spoil the harmony of the collective society which is coming, where everyone would be interdependent.

    - John Dewey

  • hey everyone, as a kid i went to a private school. Private schools are so much better you get a good education.

    MY PARENTS CAN AFFORD TO TAKE ME AND MY BROTHER TO A PRIVATE SCHOOL

    PUBLIC SCHOOLS FORCE U TO SUCK COCKS AND LICK SHIT

  • how would you know if you never went?

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • ur right im in private school too mummy and daddy afford it so im happy yay were rich

  • ur rude

  • Senator biden is lying, his children are home schooled.

  • Private school is good but many parents cant afford it.

  • I went to a private Catholic school for two years and it was so awful that is was a contributer to my current Atheist status. PBS actually did a better job at teaching me to read than my teachers at that school.

    I am currently attending a public charter school that was designed for the rich kids and not lower middle class people like me and I ain't learning shit. Send your children to traditional public schools or charters with more orthodox teaching methods like Segerstrom High and Godinez.

  • i go to a private school and its much bettter than public

  • You can know this for sure....have you even gone to a public school? What do you base your oppinion off of? Stories that your parents tell you? You can only compare wether 2 education systems are better using statictics not your prepubescent experiences.

  • I hate private school. I regret going there and I regret graduating there. That's why I'm choosing a public college or university. I will lead a happy, free life finally.

  • I'm a girl who went to both of private and public. I went to a private school for 8 years, and I absolutely hated it.I didn't learn a lick.The teacher's method of teaching was akward, and so boring. It was like living with rich spoiled kids and their parents. Soon, I went to a very good public school. The teachers were motivated, more diversity of kids, I made more friends. I even got straight A+(Not that it was easy)Public school work was harder, and it pressured me to take more responsibility.

  • You are basing your views on public/private school on experience. This experience based on a private school is very specific to the school, different private schools perform differently. Public schools work mostly on the same ciriculum but use different teaching methods than one another. In the end, if you want to compare the public/private schools you need to use statistics NOT anectdotes(short stories).

  • Private school is the only way to get a REAL education. at state school teachers try to make it seem like getting bad grades is okay but its NOT

  • I am at university now, but have only been to state schools. State schools are so much better because it actually opens your eyes to the real world, the diversity, poverty etc...

    Also private school kids are mainly upper class kids who think they are better then the rest, and have lived their whole life with their heads in the sand and dont know what real life is.

  • wow you think you're open and tolerant but you're acting like a bitter child about children who didn't get something you wanted.

    most privately schooled children do not come from rich families but mainly middle class ones. furthermore their parent's prefer the discipline at those schools because if a child is a bully or disruptive he can be expelled. it is far more difficult for a state school student to be expelled because then where is there left for him to go? another state school?

  • How am I bitter, I went to the type of school that I wanted to...!

    Most private school students are from the upper class, as most schools charge at least several thousand pounds a year which no proper middle class family can afford to pay. Upper middle/upper class can, but not normal middle class.

    Bullying is not as common in state schools as the media would try to make out, they need stories to run and just bash vulnerable targets.

  • well actually i have found that a lot of poorer families work really hard and even go into debt because they want to give their children the education they choose for them.

    your comment about private school students being intolerant of others is just ridiculous. people from all ethnic groups go to private schools and students have friends from all different types of schools.

    discipline at public schools is a far less then private because it is so hard to expel students.

  • A lot of poor families just cant afford to send their kids to private school. The average grammar school is around £6000per year, which would be £42000 in total, and then they will have to pay for university as well which costs another few thousand pounds a year.

    there is no way anyone else who earns the average wage, or even a fair bit above the average wage could find that £42000 plus university fees whilst also paying the mortgage, putting food on the table and other living expenses.

  • i think australian and english private schools are different because in oz the government subsidizes private education.

  • I don't go to a private school. It's a public charter that makes your parents pay. The students there, while there aren't any cliques, are incredibly unaccepting. I always eat lunch by myself and my education isn't as good as the education I got a the completely free of charge state charter schools.

  • i agree COMPLETELY. my teacher would gay bash in front of the glass (christian private school) and make racist jokes. they're very unaccepting. plus the education was bad. we had bible every day and chapel 4 times a week. i really hated it.

  • how very christian.

  • Private school is so much better

    all you get at state schools are chavs and emos..

    great

  • private schools are much better.also, some kids are poor and are good kids, but dont have money to go to a privatte school. i go to a private school, and it is awaesome. we dont wear uniforms, and everyone there is really nice and christian like. if you have the money go to a private school for a better education and christian influences

  • lol are you serious? i went to a christian school and 99% of my year 12 grade were atheists :P

  • thats so sad for joe biden

  • Go Independent education!

    STATISTICS: The average British 16 year old is just as, or even cleverer than the average 18 year old in America!

  • Let me guess, your one of those students who claims to be 'cleaverer' than an American. Let me give you a little heads up, 'cleaverer' is not a word. Learn some English.

  • And this is where the American system is failing - they make false accusations due to poor lack of reading skills (I have in fact spelt cleverer as cleverer, not 'cleaverer')and cannot accept that they are wrong!

  • *more clever..

  • Really dum  why is the presdient doing thier

  • i hate private skewl cuhz i use to go to private skewl in thailand im 8th grader and u have to pay go private skewl

  • Clearly you should have stayed at private school... maybe they would have thought you how to spell? you think???

  • a public school is another term for a private school ass.

  • Why should anyone feel guilty about sending their kids to private school. If you can afford it, send them. I went to private school from K-12 & I have no regrets. A private school education doesn't guarantee your kids will turn out to be doctors & lawyers & not all Private school kids are smart. The environment is more sheltered because these schools carefully select kids & you rarely worry about school violence. Suceeding in school depends on the student, whether in private or public school.

  • But that shoves all the bad and poor kids into the same schools. It creates huge class gaps.

  • public schools are dangerous

  • yes i conquer public schools are utterly dangerous

  • @gilbertvaio Thats stupid. I went to public school my whole school career and never once was i in some sort of danger.

  • @gilbertvaio not if u no how to fight

  • @gilbertvaio I would reply to you differently, public school are not dangerous a majority of the time unless your child is looking for trouble, in which case can make it just as much dangerous and private schools. I think public schools can give you more important life lessons since they are much more of a replica of the real world rather than a confined world in which what is private school. Besides there's alot of REALLY good free public high schools, like art schools or tech schools.

  • @gilbertvaio Did you go to public school? Or are you just stating an opinion based on readings? (Not to be rude. Just asking why you think they're dangerous.)

  • @gilbertvaio i disagree. it depends on what type of public scool you go to,

    and you have to choose the right one. if you

  • i go 2 private school

  • lol hey look at shockawenowsucks I have a fan following me...or should I say a "stalker" he he

  • I think your doing pretty good at 1:40 being an outspoken christian.

    TOP REASON ATHEIST HATE SHOCKAWENOW: He causes them to have doubts in their closely-gaurded beliefs.

  • Children who attend private schools test better and christian schools teach morals and encourage worship rather than tamping it down like we're in red china or somewhere Behavior isn't addressed in public schools until someone causes trouble Punishment for bad behavior is logical but children go further on encouragement and rewards. It cost us a fortune to send my daughter to a good private school but the results outway the cost. It would stun you to see the public school test-scores in our town

  • Hey nice seeing you here donotresussitate! lol

    from SHOCKAWENOW

  • hey go suck some southern man balls?

    and tell your kids not to suicide, and wait till they get out of your house, because you're a FUCKING MANIAC!

    the ration of the people who like you to the people that think you're a worthless piece of shit, is 1:40, go figure, does that mean something in the bible? it means you're a religious nut who is obviously a fucking retard@@@@@@@@@

  • Setting up an account to mock someone is admitting a lot of things about yourself and about that persons intellectual athourity over you. Sad...

  • People are nuts to have their kids go to private schools now a days. Guns! teachers molesting kids! Kids shooting kids! No way is it safe to allow kids to go to public school. Not to mention they lie to kids and tell them there is NO GOD and they are apes that have evolved. Thank God for Christian private schools.

  • I am a "typical ordinary parent who can not work the system. I tried enrolling my kingdergardner who can read very well and is coming home telling me he is learning one letter everday into a maget program. I was advised that the better schools in the public school system known as magnet schools where some children are learning a different language has a waiting list. I also was advised that the system is based on a lottery. I am so disgusted with the public school system.

  • I loved the way Mr. Obama answered the question. My son is going to public school and and last week the school'school report card came out. The school's attendance rating was higher than any other in the state and district but the test scores were lower than any other in the state and district in all cateogories. Something is not adding up the school scored lower across the board!!

  • ah the ghetto in public schools i like privates schools better you get out earlier!

  • I don't think it's a bad thing if all of their kids went to a private school. As a parent you want the best for your kids and there is nothing with that. I do think obamas response was the best and hope he is elected president.

  • People should be able to send their kids to any school they want wether it be private or public. Why should they (the canidates on this video) have to send their kids to a public school when they can send their kids to a better one?

  • For the record Public schools in white class society are a major hell of a difference to those in the city or lower income middle class neighborhoods

    So they may as well be considered Private

    They have access to books, supplies, and technology people in lower income schools could only DREAM of...

    If anyone watches Oprah often she did a show on this very notion

    I knew middle class whites had it good, but when I saw their schools the amount of luxury I almost swallowed my tongued!!!!!

  • Yes... that's true. But even though they have money, books, technology, etc., The actual QUALITY of the education is still crap. Every bit of that money is wasted. (which pisses me off) So nobody wins in either case... XP It really sucks.

  • @ ebonifragaria, you are absolutely right about public schools being HELL and I am proof of that; I went to public school all my life and I was teased, tortured, and threatened and have emotional scars and baggage that will take years to work through and overcome...(ya'know it definitely deflated my self esteem and imaage)

  • good point.with a private school voucher you're parents could've sent you to the private school of thier choice.each respective private school wld have thier own

    criteria and wld either tolerate bullies or discard them.the teachers union is a VERY powerfull member of the democrat party coalition and it will b very difficult to get

    any change on the voucher issue.and i wouldn't

    expect all the DEMOCRATS in the DOMINATE LIBERAL MASS MEDIA to shed any objective light on this issue.

  • public school is so watered down. They allow everyone in and that includes the deadbeats that start trouble like gangs. Can anyone wonder what logic their is to let gang bangers into school. Would you let just released ex-cons walk around the campus? Around your kids! Thats what you are doing when you let thugs into the school system.

  • Lol Private schools aint perfect either. No matter where you go, there are always gonna be assholes.

  • same thing duz happen in privite scools. i know. it happens everywhere

  • In theory there should be some good public schools. My parents were told that the elementary school in my area was top notch, but it was terrible. I'm a sophmore in private school now. Kids at public school..I'm really sorry for the crap they have to deal with. Public education (very sadly) is terrible. that and school officials are fascinatingly stupid. ask any kid at public school.

  • it depends on what private school or public school u talkn about. my public school is well known by all of our county has one of the toughest public's around. VERY few strict private school. I would like to say that a 90 gpa in our school is NYU and such, Cornell. I got a 95 gpa i can go to UPenn where I want, well not really harvard or yale. Im only a 9th grader and I do allnighters because of work. so all u lame private school kids. so STFU

  • they all act as if private schools are somehow shameful. I don't understand.

  • It's a sensitive issue. They don't want people who can't afford a private school feel bad.

  • "chelsea wouldn't of been left alone by the press"bullshit!!the secret service couldn't

    of set something up to keep the press out?it

    pay's to be a rich liberal politician,you can

    have the best for you're kids and let the poor

  • "But at least she cares." :)

  • did you go to public or private school? Your grammar sucks!

  • public school of course!my grammar does suck!

    libs and con's should make a deal.libs can teach grammar in high school,college and

    write fiction for tv shows,comic books.and when it comes to real world problems (not the

    borg on star trek mind you)but psychotic terrorists and brutal dictators libs can shut

    the fuck up and get out of the way.you tube is

    a step up from writing on a bathroom wall you

    pedantic knitpicker grammar isnt necessary.and

    start youre comment with a capital D dumbass

  • Obama escaped the question, what a shame! Vote Edwards!

  • no he didn't. He answered the question: whether your children went to public or private school, what else is their to answer.

  • I wonder why no one's picking up on the fact that the only politician who took the question away from just talking about him(her)self to about the future of the nation was Obama. I mean honestly, who wouldn't want a candidate who focuses the issue on the country and not solely on excuses for why the sent their kids to private schools (...which obviously, duh b/c they sound better...)

  • ok, I really do not get it private schools kids usually in my county usually go to like NYU at the most and some IV leagues. While last year 5 kids got into harvard from my public school..

  • Interestingly enough, two candidates on the stage have kids who went to Quaker school, Biden and Hillary.

  • Biden said his kids go to Catholic school.

  • Biden was mistaken. He said Wilmington Friends, which is a Quaker school. Then later he says it was Catholic school.

  • Actually it sounds like they went to both...sounds like they started in a Catholic school and switched to Willington after their Aunt started taking care of them because she works there. Thank you for clarifying that for me.

  • GIVE THEM HELL GRAVEL >=P

    fuck Hilliary i know why bill cheated on you CUZ YOUR SUCH A BITCH!! i bet u didn't give him chonchon 8) so Monica did the work

  • aw man... his wife and daughter were killed...

  • Whenever I look at half of the democrat's faces, I feel like I'm going to throw up.

  • wow. so u think bush is hot? lemme just say he's got war fever. and he's the worst fucking president in the history of the U.S. i'd much rather have a democrat president that wouldnt fuck up our country so bad

  • good one by obama

  • Dodd is so horrible. I don't care what you think about NCLB, just shut up.

  • well the problem with him was that the question asked did NOT deal with NCLB...he should have responded during that question, not whiz thru this one so he had time to go backwards.

  • i like gravel's answer most
