As a Democrat I am so very dissappointed in these two “blog” posts. Principles? How about a specific policy or two? You have free rein of a great website to talk details and you give more platitudes. You just reinforce the perception that BHO doesn’t have any real plans. And the request for support? Give me a detail or two. Sad, sad, sad.

Yawn. More press release posting. This is a waste of time to read. The Obama people are as bad as the McCain people.

Last year visiting a student in the hospital, I asked if she had heard Michelle Obama’s criticism of NCLB testing. She replied so sweetly, “Oooooh. She cares.” My student then cooed to her newborn, “Michelle Obama cares for you.”

My student approves of this message.

Mike and Jon, glad you are guestblogging. Could you address Sen. Obama’s take on special education issues at some point, or at least point me to his position statements on special education?

Some of us have been asking the campaigns for statements on special education and have basically received nothing in reply. Perhaps one of the nights of Sept. 18-25 will be devoted to special education, as it is a large percentage of the federal education budget. If so, could you at least let us know which night? We asked the McCain counterpart on this blog to address special education, and we have heard nothing. I am hoping we will get a different response from the Obama campaign. Thanks much.

I stand corrected (Erin). This is disappointing, it’s not really a blog, just as Virginia Walden Ford’s entries were not blogs either. I fear that by continuing to post advertisements on this site you will not help Obama’s chances at all.
