Philly Mayor, DA Join Anti-Romney Protest

By Wyatt Earp | May 24, 2012

So much for representing all the people of Philadelphia, eh, guys?

As Gov. Romney spoke this morning inside the Bluford School at 58th and Media Streets, outside, about two dozen supporters of President Obama chanted, ?Four more years.? Mayor Nutter said Romney would cut Pell Grants, let college tax credits expire, and allow student loan interest rates to double.

You mean Romney is going to cut out of control spending? Oh my stars and garters!

?If you?re going to talk about education, it?d be nice if you had an education record,? Nutter said. ?It?d be nice if you had an education platform. It?d be nice if you seemed to know something about education. You can go wherever you want to go ? that?s the beauty of America. But the man?s got no record to run on.? (H/T ? Becky)

Did the spokesperson for education just say, ?The man?s got no record to run on?? Apparently, Nutter murders grammar as often as his citizens murder each other.

For those of you not from the area, here are the facts. Philadelphia?s public schools are among the worst and most violent in the country. The school district is looking at a $218 million deficit for the coming year, and has already decided to close 40 schools, and another 6 each year until 2017. Only 25 percent of school district students make it to college. Twenty-five percent. Now please, Mayor Squidward, regale us with the fanciful tales that make up your ?education record.?
