GREAT QUOTE - AT 7:18 A.M. ET:  From David Frum, former speechwriter for President Bush, on the Obama administration's support for a scheme to destroy a great voucher program for D.C. students:

It’s impossible to invent any justification for this abandonment of students struggling to overcome the already steep odds against them. But there’s no mystery as to the motive. Called upon to choose between the demands of politically active unions or the life chances of the most vulnerable citizens, the Obama Education department put the unions first. That is tragic news for those needy kids—and an ominous revelation of the new administration’s priorities.

COMMENT:  Underplayed, of course, by the media.  This is a sickening story, and could provide a major GOP campaign theme, if anyone notices.
