I wondered why no one else mentioned that. It was recalling "White Flight" from the cities in earlier decades so the kids could "get a better education." That she used that example really shows what her mind set is. Or, it was her campaign's dog whistle to the RW'ers to garner the Conservative female vote she so covets.
We are to assume she probably strongly favors Arne Duncan and Rahm Emmanuels view of how our children should be educated, also. Privatization of Public Schools and Vouchers. Our taxpayer dollars to pay for schemes for more to get rich off the backs of our taxdollars while their kids attend the elite Private Schools and Colleges.
Was surprised that DU'ers here didn't pick that up. Even her supporters had to have questions.
I also thought it a bit ott about "I've been home with my children for five years and it's time to go back to work." (paraphrase)
Who decided "Five Years" was the appropriate amount of time to use in a campaign commericial? How old were the kids that they all could be ready for Mom to go back to work after that length of time. Did she assume the Nanny would take over the care or that it would be time for Day Care...and the salary of the job would take care of the extra cost?
Oh..well.. she is what she is. But, seems really out of touch, which probably should be expected, given here lifestyle since she was First Lady in Arkansas. I wonder if she will take a visit to WalMart with the cameras rolling to buy an outfit for her new Grandaughter and to pick up a few groceries to show how comfortable she is with the way the average American shops, these days.
Oh well...enough.
