You know, someone cited the safety of the children at public school. Do you they think they go to private school without bodyguards? Three or four Secret Service agents sitting in class with Obama's girls would provide plenty of safety along with a security detail located at the school. Shoot, it would probably elevate the quality of education for the kids in that school and all would benefit.

I understand your point.

If I was a parent, I'd do all I could to provide the best I can for my family.

With that in mind, what would you do in his case?

Well of course. All the more reason to grant choice to everyone else. But it wont happen. The teachers unions have the Dems by the proverbial family jewels, and he will not be able to betray the loyalty they demand. There's a lot of campaign money at stake here.

I agree, but logically I know there are more things to think about than security.
