No drama: Obama gets 2012 endorsement from NEA

Vice President Joe Biden was in Chicago two days ago, piling on the demagoguery at the National Education Association's annual convention. Biden, who has worked for the government for almost entire adult life, derides Republican efforts to control costs and offer school choice.

Hey, Biden, how do you suggest we pay for the largess of high teacher salaries and overly generous pensions? And remember, it's almost impossible to fire a tenured teacher working for a government school.



And in what had to be the least dramatic election since Saddam Hussein last "faced" Iraqi voters, the NEA overwhelmingly voted to endorse the Obama/Biden ticket in 2012.

But will Biden be on that ticket? Doug Ross speculates that he could be dumped.

Hat tip to Illinois Review for the Biden video.
