The narrator for this Obama campaign commercial states that Sen. Obama 'understands what it takes to make American education #1 again.'

Interestingly, in Obama's hometown of Chicago, less than 55% of public school students graduate from high school.

No wonder the Obamas send their children to the University of Chicago Lab school, a prestigious private school with an annual tuition of between $18,000 - $20,000.

Someone should ask Sen. Obama what successful actions he took with regard to improving Chicago's public schools during his eight-year stint as an Illinois State Senator, and whether they are part of his plan.

Perhaps it is to send kids to excellent private schools like the one his kids attend.
