President Obama’s speech at Rhode Island College today flew under the media radar for the most part, but the folks at Breitbart did catch an interesting statement from the president on the lack of public pre-school. “Sometimes, someone, usually Mom, leaves the workplace to stay home with the kids, which then leaves her earning a lower wage for the rest of her life as a result,” the president told his audience. “That’s not a choice we want Americans to make.”
Difference between saying "that's not a choice we want Americans to make" and "that's not a choice we want Americans to have to make."

As the president said, that’s not a choice “we” want Americans to make. After all, public pre-school is not only “good for families” but “good for the children,” he explained.

'Not a choice we want Americans to make' are perfect words from POTUS' lips on how Dems really feel about women & families. #FlipTheSenate

Where are the “feminists” on this one? What about a “woman’s right to choose”? Freaking hypocrites… http://t.co/LUhp5asR5a

Is being a stay at home Mom for every woman or family? Nope. But to discourage that choice is deplorable. http://t.co/WPoQ6IzwIN
