That is pathetic. I hate to say it, but it is the ignorant people like her that put Obama in office.

At what point did McCain ever say anything like that? Case in point, ignorant. No teacher should be aloud to do what that woman did. Especially to kids that are below that age of even comprehending the differences between the candidates.

"During a town hall meeting in Derry, New Hampshire last night, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) told a crowd of roughly two hundred people that it ?would be fine with? him if the U.S. military stayed in Iraq for ?a hundred years?:
Q: President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years ? (cut off by McCain)
McCAIN: Make it a hundred.
Q: Is that ? (cut off)
McCAIN: We?ve been in South Korea ? we?ve been in Japan for 60 years. We?ve been in South Korea 50 years or so. That would be fine with me. As long as Americans ?
Q: [tries to say something]
McCAIN: As long as Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed. That?s fine with me, I hope that would be fine with you, if we maintain a presence in a very volatile part of the world where Al Queada is training and equipping and recruiting and motivating people every single day."
Yeah, really, at what point did Mccain say anything even remotely resembling that it would be “fine with him” if we were in Iraq for “make it a hundred” years.
…I’m sorry, you were saying something about a case in point?

She said McCain would be fine with troops staying in Iraq for 100 years if necessary…then she told the girl that her daddy could be stuck in the military for 100 years…completely different meaning.
I agree, this “teacher” should be shit-canned and stripped of all benefits.
