Kerry supported outsourcing jobs, goes to school overseas.

American schools not good enough for democratic presidential hopeful.

"Among the array of relatives who looked after John, none was more important to his education than great-aunt Clara Winthrop, who had no children of her own. She owned an estate in Manchester-by-the-Sea, complete with a bowling alley inside a red barn. Winthrop offered to pay for much of John's prep school education, an expensive proposition far beyond the means of Kerry's parents. ``It was a great and sweet and nice thing from an aunt who had no place to put [her money],'' Kerry said. Such a gift today might be worth about $30,000 per year, given the school's typical annual cost before subsidies.

``We weren't rich,'' explained Kerry's sister, Diana. ``We certainly had some members of the family we thought of as rich. We were the [beneficiaries] of a great-aunt who had no children. My father was on salary from the State Department, and my mother had some family money but not major.'' "

Sounds like good family values to me! Father is assigned to Germany by the US State Department and takes the family with him. An aunt is willing to help pay for the childrens education. Family puts children in a Swiss school so they are closer than they would be if shipped to the states.
