Obama Readies Election Season Swing State Slush Fund

First note that HHS is spending $20 million on PR to improve the image of ObamaCare.  Next note that HHS is demanding that any refunds coming to health plan enrollees from the MLR provision cite ObamaCare in a move of election year propaganda.  Now, check this out:
President Barack Obama will offer school districts the chance to compete for awards from a $400 million program by designing plans to individualize classes and improve student achievement.
The awards, of as much as $25 million each, will target districts that “focus on transforming instruction so that it meets all students’ learning abilities,” the Education Department said in a statement today. The department will take comment on the criteria for the awards competition through June 8, according to the statement.
Hmmm, let me guess.  I'm willing to wager that some lucky quite deserving school districts in Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania are going to be recipients of very generous grants right about the September-October time frame.   

I can even see the headlines:  "Hey, waddyaknow, Allentown, PA, Jacksonville, FL and Youngstown , OH each just got a completely merited, totally non-political $25 million dollar grant FROM PRESIDENT OBAMA (who aside from giving $20 million grants, also killing Osama bin Laden) because this President is totally committed to education in these special places that, like, totally earned the money and are totally not swing states or anything."
