No, since no new families can be admitted to the program, he'll continue to harm the families and children right now that COULD benefit but were not yet in the program.

$12 Million for one school year? How many kids are using the voucher program? I’m all for it but that seems like someone is putting some in a pocket somewhere....
Vacillator in Chief bows to polls.
I stand corrected - 1700 kids at $7500 a pop....I apologize.
Barack 0bama doesn’t like black people.

All he’s done is keep the program going until all the students have graduated, which is great. Then the program will be discontinued completely.
Imagine having one kid in the voucher program but having to put your younger ones in the DC Public School System. This would be a great research project, comparing the siblings that were grandfathered in and their younger siblings. I think I already know the results of this study.
Vouchers are very effective. This is what really galls the Rats because the teacher unions don’t care a rats ass about really educating the children. They just care about power, control and federal $$$ (our tax dollars). Public school money has never been spent well for the purpose of educating our children. Vouchers permit these same children to receive a good education and sadly needed discipline and moral values education. And, because the majority of these voucher children in DC are black, Obama is concerned now about the dissatisfaction coming from blacks about canceling this voucher program and putting these kids back in their old unsafe school environment. So he is doing the right thing now for the wrong reason as it is still all about him and his personal popularity.
ONLY UNTIL THE CURRENT STUDENTS GRADUATE!......THEN, BACK TO THE LOUSY PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN DC......................

Another chance for him to come in with his measured ‘Solomon act’. He’s still killing a good program, but he looks less radical than those rabid Democrats in Congress.
The kind of political game he keeps getting away with so he’s going to keep playing.
Good point.
Rush was all over this today. Thanks for the post.
Sure it does. Democrats need votes and money from radical socialist teacher unions. They don't give a wit about the students who benefit from the vouchers.
The next step should be to parade the younger siblings of program participants, showing how the little brother or sister is getting shafted.
I hope you're correct
I fear his coalition of racial politics, illegals, union members, wealth transfer recipients, and vote fraud keeps him in office Chavez style.
I know. Most of us here knew what obama would do last year. We were informed and we researched. When I spoke to many of my friends and acquaintancesthey said NO WAY can he do those things. This is why we have two party system and the house.
Now they say, I don’t know what I was thinking.
We can’t give up. If I did not have children I would not worry so much. But I can’t leave this world to my children in communism and no hope unless they serve obama’s thugs.
