D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty, Health Care And You

Commentary from Blanche Africa Reilly Dark:
All right people! Get it over it! I’m hearing all this fuss over Washington, D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty’s decision, with his wife, to send his children to a so-called “good” public school; one that is better than his neighborhood school.
Will someone explain to me why this is a problem?!
The man has kept his campaign promise to send his youngsters to a public school. Fine! Let’s give him an atta-boy for keeping his promise. He’s the mayor. There are certain privileges that come with leadership positions. Why else would anyone run for public office? Satisfying personal ego demands are part of what makes Adrian, or Mike or Barack or Nancy or Hillary, anyone run.
I see this camflamma as simply another distraction from the issue of health care for citizens who are at risk without it. Lack of health care for 47 million citizens is disgraceful. The mayor of Washington D.C. sending his children to the best public school to meet their educational needs is not in the same category as the great nation we say we are leaving the people who make it great without access to proper medical care.
So local D.C. folks get over the moral outrage about the mayor’s kids issue, and direct some indignation toward this health care legislation.
DEMAND health care reform NOW!
