Beth over at MVRWC points readers at the GOP’s new “Can We Ask” website, where interested citizens can post questions that they would like Barack Obama to answer. I dropped by a short time ago and posed this one for the candidate – one which I suspect the news media will avoid asking him at all costs.

You support education policies that mean that most children in Washington will remain trapped in failing public schools. Will you commit to sending your daughters to those same schools rather than hypocritically sending them to private schools that your education policies place beyond the reach of every other child living in government housing in Washington?

I’m sure we all know the answer to that one. He’ll most likely emulate Bill and Hillary Clinton and Al and Tipper Gore, rather than Jimmy Carter – or George Bush, for that matter, whose daughters attended public school in Austin, Texas while he was governor.

But it would be interesting to know how he can support sentencing the children of Washington, DC to some of the worst schools in the nation – especially if they aren’t good enough for his own children.
