and I agree - he is everything you called him!
I was after him heavy before voting for DeVos. You should have seen his response (yes, he - well, probably some lacky working for him)! I pointed out that she had virtually NO background or experience in public education, and yet she was to be the head of the Department of Education?
Toomey's own background is Wall Street and Big Banking (surprise!). I asked him if he would hire someone at one of his "money" places if the person could not count or add 2+2.
Again, no response!
So, after every idiotic move she makes I keep sending more to him.
Funny, no more responses!
I also sent a note after he had a questioner thrown out of his "town hall" meeting because the questioner had asked about Toomey's daughter being kidnapped. It was a poorly worded question but certainly not a "jailable" offense. After DeVos eased up on the "campus sexual harassment" program that President Obama had instituted, I asked him (Toomey) if he was feeling comfortable about his own daughter getting harassed and how well DeVos would be "defending" her.
Again, no comments.

What a waste of a "political" official - and we get to keep him for 5 more years!
