Interesting that Senator obama voted for EVERY spending increase proposed or implemented by the Bush administration and sent two letters to the W.H. criticizing the President for not spending enough (obama interview with Chicago Tribune) yet he continues his hypocritical blaming. Blaming G. Bush is only a distraction from all the LOSSES and FALIURES of OBAMA and his administraion, to date!

So what? Corporations fund almost everything. Who do you think funds Obama?

And Murdoch's company, News Corporation, is but one of myriad large media conglomerates such as Walt Disney Co., Viacom, Time-Warner, General Electric, etc. You're entitled to your opinion, but get your facts straight and don't abuse hyperbole.

Yeah, I'm guessing we'll see a lot of rioting and throwing of feces at police cars amidst mewling cries of "Unfair! Unfair!" from the entitlement-minded O-suckers...well, maybe their children! BTW, I was actually looking for Cato vs. Clouseau (Pink Panther) scenes, lol.

We are, absolutely FUCKED in-between and beyond our ears, Too much money has been spent and in the next 30 years we are all going to realize the result. In 20 years, all of the misty eyed, Obama suckers are going to be asking themselves why they are 40 years old and paying off debt incurred 20 years prior..........

He's a liar, but so are all modern Presidents.

All of this stuff about blaming the teachers, unions, and administrators need to stop! When I went to school the children didn't learn anything because we had parents who did not make educating their children a top priority and my father was included! All my teachers had a BA and a MA or working on one. If the principle is over a school that is falling apart should they spend the money they need to repair things or leave it as is effecting student performance? YOU CHOOSE!

@discountninjuh Thank you. Everyone thinks the grass is greener on the ohter side of the fence, but it's actually greener over by the septic tank.

Cato Institute scholars? What a freaking laugh. That whole libertarian schtick sounds great except the facts kill it dead in its tracks. Why is almost every European country a better place to live than any place more dominated by completely free markets? You can listen to the lies told to you by Cato and Rush visit these countries and see for yourself. To think that capitalism alone is capable of building a just society is almost comic except that a lot of idiots truly believe it.
