Speaking Truth to Power–
Special Report discussed Barack Obama’s latest universal boondoggle he’s promoting in his latest campaign tour across America. Charles Krauthammer had this to say,

“It’s failure and yet he wants to double down and to make it universal. That’s probably a definition of a liberal.”

From your lips to God’s ears, Charles.

Krauthammer: I find this amazing. First of all, just hearing him say every first grader in America has to be prepared for a high-tech economy, that is a bit early, I think. The other part of this is here we are with $16 trillion in debt, a trillion dollars a year of deficits. We have created already, with under Obama, the biggest entitlement in 50 years. And now he wants to create a new entitlement for preschool for every 4-year-old in the country.

The worst part of this, this isn’t just any new entitlement. This is an entitlement in an area where we know the $7 billion a year that we spend on Head Start doesn’t make any difference after the third grade. There is a study that HHS has done that showed that. So it’s failure and yet he wants to double down and to make it universal. That’s probably a definition of a liberal.

For the record…
In January 2010, the Obama administration released its first grade evaluation of the federal Head Start program. The results show that the $7 billion per year program provides little benefit to children – and great expense to taxpayers.
