Duncan is still one of the worst education secretaries this country has ever had.

"So he's right about one thing. BFD"

...imagine if the entire Democratic Party, including the President, agreed with him on this "one thing."

I think this is the Obama campaign letting people know that the administration is going to support marriage equality in the next term, but without saying so directly. I could be wrong, but that's my take on it. They're still hedging on this issue, mistakenly, I think. They should just come out and say it directly.

Unfortunately they were running right wing propaganda at the place where I ate lunch. Anyway, the CNN hag is claiming that Obama will remain anti- , while members of the adming are pro- , and so the campaign can claim to be both. Very sad, IMO.

Edit: Sad "triangulating" by PBO, and sad shit-stirring by ConNN.
