President Barack Obama on Thursday will free 10 states from the strict and sweeping requirements of the No Child Left Behind law, giving leeway to states that promise to improve how they prepare and evaluate students, The Associated Press has learned.Five of those states could be considered swing states that Obama would like to win in November. Six if you count New Mexico. Imagine that.
The first 10 states to receive the waivers are Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oklahoma and Tennessee. The only state that applied for the flexibility and did not get it, New Mexico, is working with the administration to get approval, a White House official told the AP.

Mark Levin said a couple weeks ago that we're living in a post-Constitutional America. If the President does what he wants with no regard for the Constitution, like he did here, then Levin is correct.
It's become a pattern of behavior.
