Romney Feigns Concern for the Children

Won't someone think of the children? That's the question Mitt Romney is asking today after nearly a year of demonizing the citizens of Chicago.

The Republican nominee said he was “disappointed by the decision of the Chicago Teachers Union to turn its back on not only a city negotiating in good faith but also the hundreds of thousands of children relying on the city’s public schools to provide them a safe place to receive a strong education.” [...]

The Obama campaign accused Romney of being disingenuous in claiming to side with students while proposing major budget cuts that would likely come out of national education funding.

President Obama needs to take his anger and hate back to Chicago! He needs to take his Chicago-style politics back where they belong! But will someone please think of Chicago's children?

The children most adversely effected by the situation are poor minority children. Do you think Mitt Romney really gives a shit about them? Hell no. You don't have to take my word for it though. Just examine his proposals and campaign rhetoric.

The Romney campaign would like nothing more than for the Obama campaign to get involved in the situation. It's the perfect setup for another round of race-baiting. It would make the welfare-for-nothing lie seem small-time.
