Obama's children are already in private school.Why is Obama choosing to send his children to private school?Because people would try to hurt his kids.



I am SO glad Michelle did not abort those beautiful girls....aren't you?
Better security from Right Wing Nut Jobs. Why is Obama choosing to send his children to private school?Well he does have the constitutional right to raise his own children as he sees fit.



He's not poor and he can afford it. So what?



I don't frankly give a damn about what he does to raise his children. We have an economy in tatters, we have a future administration that's still running around like a chicken with its head cut off and its a wonder that Bush kept things going as long as he had.



Need I say more? How relevant is where his children go to school? About as relevant to me as a dead leaf.Why is Obama choosing to send his children to private school?
yeah that is true but too bad the american people won't here this story because the media is to busy talking about sarah palin's shoes
He is another liberal elitist in a long line of liberal elitists who want you to " do as they say not as they do".Why is Obama choosing to send his children to private school?
Vouchers are such an ignorant, stupid idea that only the most pathetic support them.

I'd send my kids to private school if I could afford it. Thanks federal government.
Because the public schools are ran by liberals. Can you blame the guy?
Because he can afford to and why shouldn't they?
Who in theri right mind would send their kids to DC public schools?



They'd learn more and be safer in a dog pound.
Obama opposes vouchers because he knows the are a scam, and a waste of taxpayers money.



Obama sends his kids to private schools because he is free to do so.
I don't blame Obama for sending his children to private school...

He's already gotten death threats, it would seem stupid to send his children to his public school because they are at risk.



So, before you say it's hypocritical, think of the view of a parent who is now in charge of a government office. (And that people want him dead.)
its for security reasons you can't be a leader of a country and have your kids in some public school use a little common sense man
Wouldn't you send your children to private school if you could?



I think if you can afford it, then go for it.



What about poor white people who want to send their children to private school? We just get shat on? That's fair.
would you suggest they go to a non secured environment for their schooling.

i bet you and your ilk would love to see that....for whatever sick reason you can dream of
It is no secret that a private education is a better educations.

he wants his kids to have the best future possible and he has the means to do it.



(not to mention I wouldn't send my kids to public school in DC, especially if they were unarmed)



I oppose private school vouchers for many reasons, the foremost being when government money get involved in private education it is no longer private education.
It's a little problematic sending Presidential children to public school. I believe Jimmy Carter's daughter Amy did it, and it was something of a circus to provide protection. And that was back in the days when the world (not to mention the Red / Blue divide) was at relative peace.
Security.
Yes, it is hypocritical, however children get the best education in private school. My kids go to St. John the Apostle.
poor black people still can't afford the private school, even with vouchers... not that the private school would take them, as they can and will turn most away...



you provide transportation, vouchers large enough to pay it in full and not allow private schools to screen their kids... maybe we'll talk...



of course, we'll probably have to raise your taxes by 10 percent to pay for your program...



it's hypocritical that cons use poor black people as an excuse to get money from the government to send their kids to private school, even when they can afford it...
Because his kids are too good for the socialized government public schools.



Double standard you say?



If you think about it, all those people making over 1 million a year and in government, to them, all of us down below are the ni**ers.
Obama is an elitist in reality. His kids went to private school in Chicago too. He only comes down to play with the "regualr" folks when he needs somethign from us...or to use us.
He wants to eliminate that choice for ordinary Americans.

Yes. He's a hypocrite.
He and his wife know what is best for their children and it is none of anybody else's business. His kids are in private school now and that was their decision for their family. This question makes me wonder why people are always trying to impose themselves and their opinion or total strangers. My question to you would be why is it your business.
He is throwing a bone to all the conservatives to give them something to carp about - looks like it is working.






No ,but his poor aunt is good enough to live in the slum,illegally

I do not get it.
What? He's sending his punishments to a private school?
Common sense, His children can be easier protected in private school, public school would be a secret service nightmare.
Stop trying to make something out of nothing.
OF course the Obamabots are giving himn a pass on this too. "He is the president" after all answer is typical kool aid.



THen there is the leave his kids out of it. (they are not named Bush)



His kids have always gone to the BEST private schools. It is the true elite and his backers will not even question the double standard, that is so evident.
