Nothing scary?
Like teaching kids ( kindergarden age) sexual education?
Teaching kids how to recognize predators ("If a stranger puts his hand
here, tell Mommy and Daddy or the friendly policeman on the corner"), which is what the bill did, does not equal sexual education.
On the same board as Annenberg. Ayers and his wife, Bernadine Dohrn are big wheels in Chicago, for better or worse. Bill Ayers was a pathetic scumbag forty years ago (and yes, if you look at the Weather Underground, "pathetic" is a far better description than "evil"), and is still not a sympathetic character. But are you willing to vouch for all of your friends' actions?
No comment.
Eh...he worked with
Tom Coburn on an ethics reform...though as a rule I'm leery of most goo-goo measures like ethics reforms and campaign finance reform, Senator Obama clearly believes in them. I'm usually leery of goo-goo because they're hypocritical measures by people who don't understand how things work preventing things from working...Obama's a pragmatist, and Rahm Emmanuel understands how things work. If Obama can be a good-government type who actually cares about a real "good government" and reforming the things that actually don't work, rather than imposing byzantine unworkable ethics code on his underlings just to look good in the press, I'll be all for it. As far as bipartisanship, Senator McCain disavowed much of his own record on the subject, even bashing McCain/Kennedy, his own legislation.
