Melody Barnes, Obama's domestic policy advocate on education reform. The President shows courage in taking on the teachers' unions, but not on DADT

Watch Melody talk about Obama's education reforms, which offends the Democratic Party's biggest financial contributors, teachers' union. That takes guts. (You don't see the GOP voting to rein in Wall Street, the greedy and reckless bankers who the U.S. government had to bail out to avoid another great depression.)

I am encouraged by the President's "Race to the Top" program and the favorable advance reaction to the documentary, "Waiting for 'Superman'". Too bad Obama doesn't show more leadership on marriage equality and DADT. But I will keep pushing him on these issues.
