The Obama's pick a school

The Obama family enrolled their children in the DC public schools today.

No, I'm sorry, I thought Sidwell Friends School was a DC Montessori but no it's actually a really expensive private schools only rich republicans can send their kids to.

President-elect Barack Obama and his wife have chosen Sidwell Friends School for their two daughters, opting for a private institution that another White House child, Chelsea Clinton, attended a decade ago.

"A number of great schools were considered. In the end, the Obamas selected the school that was the best fit for what their daughters need right now," said Katie McCormick Lelyveld, a spokeswoman for Michelle Obama.

She said Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, "bring with them a number of security and privacy concerns that come with being part of the new first family - and the school they've selected is positioned to appropriately accommodate that."

Sidwell is a private Quaker school with a campus in northwest Washington for grades 5-12 and another in suburban Bethesda, Md., for kindergarten through fourth grade. Malia is in fifth grade and Sasha is in second grade, suggesting that the girls would attend schools at different locations.


Just remember when you're a liberal "what's good enough for thee is not for me".

They're worried about security concerns in DC schools. Why? I thought all the students there were armed.
