Ah, Photo Ops

One of my favorite blogs (and from my homestate to boot), PowerLine, had this to say about this great little photo taken yesterday of our newest Mr. & Mrs. Messiah:


It's a fantasy, I know, but wouldn't it be nice if the President had called on one of those kids, and she had said: "Why is our school good enough for a photo-op for you and Mrs. Obama, but not good enough for Sasha and Malia?...Why is that?"

School choice is one of several conservative ideals that remain almost wholly unrealized after a couple of decades. (Emphasis, mine.)
