My problem is that I believe Charter schools are just another way to privatize public goods and suck the money out for sheer profit. They are not good for public education or education in general.

He instituted a health care plan that was actually a Heritage Foundation idea that conservatives once promoted as an alternative to government run single payer, and then the Right took a hard right turn in response and denounced what they had previously promoted b/c Obama co-opted it.

Willie Herenton most certainly equals hack by any measure, but the 44th POTUS...are you kidding me? He may not be the reincarnation of FDR that many of his want-to-be "white overlords" desire, but he certainly does not deserve to be called a political hack.

I say Kennedy-esque or Regan-esque, but absolutely not Wilie-esque!!

Many black folks rushed (and even now continue to do so) to Willie's defense, clinging to the illusion he benefited them (he had to, right?--he was, after all, black, like them), much the same way many blacks rush to Obama's defense, in spite of all the evidence that contradicts their fantastic belief either of these hacks act(ed) in their best interests.

Your point is taken; however, the fact that someone was elected (repeatedly) only speaks to popularity, and competence and actual performance are something else entirely. Witness, HItler (elected) Tammany (elected-for decades), Loeb, (elected), Ray Blanton (elected), George W. Bush (selected, then elected).
