The sad part is that If you took out the one Hope & Change naysayer and the couple of mentions of voter disenchantment, you couldn’t tell the difference between this and any run-of-the-mill MSNBC story about Obama’s re-election campaign: Obama Begs Voters Not To Make His Daughters Switch Schools (h/t Chicks on the Right)
