Time Magazine: Duncan should worry about his mess in Chicago before messing with Texas


Another Obama Administration official, that is, who is nothing but an empty-suit political hack from Illinois.  In this case, it's his Education Secretary Arne Duncan, who formerly ran the Chicago Public Schools, which are scandalously bad, perhaps the very worst urban school system in the nation, a union-dominated quagmire of criminal nonfeasance.  But that seems to be news to Arne, because he turns out, somehow, to know nothing about achievement levels in the Chicago school system he left behind. Clearly, this guy has the right level of incompetence to fit right into the Odumbo Administration.

Obysmal looked at Duncan and saw the pluperfect choice to run our U.S. Dept. of Education.  In other words, just the right guy to get the teachers unions into harness for the 2012 re-election campaign. Priority One!  But Arne is already fumbling the job with this (below) lame-brained misfire of an attempt at an attack on Perry's education record in Texas:
