School Choice Even Obama Supports
By RiShawn Biddle
As a presidential aspirant last year, Barack Obama gained the support of the National Education Association -- and the scorn of school choice activists -- when he declared his skepticism of the school choice and accountability measures in the No Child Left Behind Act. Then in the early months of this year, the newly-elected president further pleased teachers unions when he tacitly allowed congressional Democrats to shutter the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Plan, the school voucher program that helps 1,716 Washington students attend private schools -- even though he avoided sending his own children to D.C.'s abysmal public schools.

Wearing a strapless purple-tiered gown, Michelle Williams joins costars Catherine Keener and Samantha Morton at the premiere of their new movie, Synecdoche, New York, at the Palais des Festivals during the 2008 Cannes Film Festival on Friday in Cannes, France.
“It actually does feel kind of special to have two films at the same time,” Michelle said. “The film [Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island, which she’s currently filming in Boston] was sweet enough to let me come here and enjoy it.”
The 27-year-old actress added: “[It’s] something you can look back on at the end of your life and think, ‘That was a cool thing I did when I was 27.’ ” What do you think of her outfit?
