Obama re-election campaign co-chair uses her position as a public school counselor to steer students into volunteering for the Obama campaign in order to earn class credit.

Well I guess it’s okay to get paid one way or another so where do I sign up on the R side?

We got to get with the game.

I called the school and was actually connected with Ms. Harper. I questioned the practice. I asked several different questions and she answered all with the same answer, which was that there is a community service booth where students could, at the beginning of the year, sign up for community service requiring parental consent.

She wouldn't comment on her own promotion of a political position and student activism as part of the school curriculum.

I asked if there was a program offered for students to support opposition candidates. She stated that if students requested to assist with Republican campaigns they would be provided with the appropriate phone numbers. Of course, no conservative political options are automatically offered.

As I pressed her further, asking how it is a service to the community to reelect a man who is opposed to the U.S. constitution. She said that was only my opinion. When I quoted Obama's own words about the constitution being a deeply flawed document, etc. she became frustrated and repeated the previous answer. I asked about conflict of interest, she would not answer but continued with the aforementioned talking point, then said she was ending the call and hung up.

In other words, the typical "debate" with a lefty.

After those pics there has to be a RUSH-ism somewhere.

Please read kcvl’s comment #12, this was obviously political use of kids for promoting Obama.

Find out who the brown shirts are and ridicule them and their commie parents. That will take the cool out of it real quick.
