I think Rhee is more clever than a snake. She is stingy with teacher contract negotiations and teachers’ pay (even though this money is tax payer money), however she takes home one fourth of a million per year + bonuses as well as the people she has hired to help her “exit” those that she does not like or do not agree fully with her own system of operation, which is kinda like this” Hmm! I do not like your face or your attitude!! Out!!. I do not understand why African Americans are allowing Rhee to do what she is doing in DC. She is an outsider and she does not follow protocol, she is very authoritarian and honestly I think she should be professional in all her affairs which she lacks. It seems that she is dealing with machines instead of persons. Rhee needs to remember that Fenty is not going to be the Mayor for ever especially now that he can not even control the crime in DC.

Best moment from the segment: Rhee accepting the title of benevolent dictator. I have to say that John Merrow has done some really interesting work with this series and last night’s was among the best. Would have been nice to hear more from Parker or those in the union who think Parker’s been too soft on her, but, overall, nice work.

I would love to see Michelle Rhee become a President of the U.S. someday and turn the nation around.

I think the whole series has, for a national program, done a pretty good job of capturing what is going on there… but then again, I would say that.
