18. That's a pattern for this administration.

To speak in support of something, while working against it. In this case, teachers.

To "advocate," to me, would mean more than words. It would mean to propose action, and to act on those proposals.

The Obama administration is not going to dismantle RTTT. RTTT IS a nasty continuation of NCLB. It's also the Obama administration's version of education "reform."

Obama owns it. It's his.
