08/22/12 - Obama knocks Romney education policies as ‘foolish for our future’
By Amie Parnes - http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/244789-obama-knocks-romney-education-policy-as-foolish-for-our-future

blasted presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney on his education policy, saying his opponent sees teachers as “nameless government bureaucrats we need to, in his words, ‘cut back’ on."

Appearing at a high school gym in Las Vegas, Obama lambasted Romney and his running mate Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) for wanting to slash the number of teachers and education programs by nearly 20 percent across the country as part of their economic proposals.

The president, on a two-day trip through swing-state Nevada, called the Republican plan “foolish for our future.”

4. So far,

it seems that Mitt has supplied the DNC all kinds of material for commercials. I figure the teachers union one should just about be done by now. The way it looks to me is that unless Obama does something incredibly stupid, he's' got this. He is getting a little snarky though, should probably dial it back a touch. It's just not him.

Among her talking points, this:

I've been a First Lady of the State. I have seen what happens to people's lives if they don't get a proper education. And we know the answers to that. The charter schools have provided the answers. The teachers' unions are preventing those things from happening, from bringing real change to our educational system. We need to throw out the system.

10. "I've been a First Lady of the State"

Sounds like Ann Romney feels entitled to a crown.
