Your understanding of the issue has nothing to do with my questions;
unless it prevents you from answering them, presuming you are willing to
but you show no indication of doing anything except muddying the water and
getting huffy over things you dislike.

What "fact?"  How do you figure that wanting to find true facts is a
"sleight of hand?"  There were no facts listed in my post or the one I was
replying to.  I am merely curious about whether there is a true
correlation between the current president and the graduation rates of
Oakland like the person insinuated, and not just a blase sentiment.

Frankly, it sounds like you are afraid that getting to the causal factors
will not show a negative relationship between Bush and Oakland high
schools, and you are trying to squirt a cloud of black ink and hide like
an octopus.

I'm all for a cathartic "bitch-fest" on GW Bush, but it shouldn't be
masked in insinuations and likely false arguments.
