This Administration is Hard to Believe!

"Department of Re-Education"

ABC News tells us of the Obama administration's latest triumph of political oratory:

'With a number of polls showing a sustained level of opposition to the Democrats' health care reform efforts more than five months after passage, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the Obama administration has "a lot of reeducation to do" heading into the midterms.'

Great, so we'll get death panels and re-education camps! Meanwhile, the Washington Examiner reports that Education Secretary Arne Duncan "urged government employees to attend a rally that the Rev. Al Sharpton organized to counter a larger conservative event on the Mall":

"ED staff are invited to join Secretary Arne Duncan, the Reverend Al Sharpton, and other leaders on Saturday, Aug. 28, for the 'Reclaim the Dream' rally and march," began an internal e-mail sent to more than 4,000 employees of the Department of Education on Wednesday. . . .
Although the e-mail does not violate the Hatch Act, which forbids federal employees from participating in political campaigns, Education Department workers should feel uneasy, said David Boaz, executive vice president of the libertarian Cato Institute. . . .

Education Department spokeswoman Sandra Abrevaya defended Duncan's decision. "This was a back-to-school event," she said.

At least "a back-to-school event" doesn't sound as creepy as "re-education.""


UNBELIEVABLE!!!
