Joe Klein‘s latest TIME column makes the case that the vice presidential choices prove that Barack Obama is conservative and John McCain radical.
Finished chuckling yet? Good. At least Klein exhibits some sense when he offers his latest advice to the Obama campaign:
It would be nice if he, say, challenged the teachers’ unions, which didn’t support him anyway and whose work rules choke out any chance of creative experimentation in the public-school system. Or if he stood against the atrocious Farm Bill, which spreads unnecessary fiscal fertilizer upon an already profitable industry.
It’s nice to see Klein join other left-leaning major magazine columnists in dissing the dysfunctional teachers’ unions.
