Obama Repudiates Pro-Voucher Interpretation Of His Interview

Filed under: Education by Leo Casey @ 9:54 pm

Obama’s campaign apparently reached the same conclusion we did below, and issued the following statement:

Senator Obama has always been a critic of vouchers, and expressed his longstanding skepticism in that interview. Throughout his career, he has voted against voucher proposals and voiced concern for siphoning off resources from our public schools. The misleading reports that have been circulated about Senator Obama’s position took excerpts of an interview out of context.

There’s no joy in voucherville, tonight. Get ready for Whitney Tilson’s fourth flip-flop on the Obama candidacy.
