This is Arne Duncan, the Secretary of Education. The honcho. The frommage so to speak.
He took at little swipe at Texas - which needs a big deal swipe with a big stick - and the misery that is their education system. From top to bottom it is in shambles - essentially zooming toward dead last and fighting to stay there.
In taking a pot shot, he said this: "....feel very badly for Texas schools and the kids who attend them (under Gov. Perry)".
Now this fella is the secretary of education; as noted the grand frommage, the hancho. I would think that he knows better, not that we didn't get the core of the observation, but the phrase should have been "feels bad" for Texas schools.
Not to be a nit, but badly is an adverb describing "how" people felt now "what they felt like". I feel bad means I don't feel good about something. I feel badly means that his fingers are fumbling and he can't feel anything with them. He feels (things) badly or poorly but the things aren't necessarily bad, he just can't actually feel them.
Clear?
