CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Kicking off a two-day, swing-state tour focused on keeping student-loan rates from increasing, President Obama told an arena full of college students that he can relate to their struggles paying off loans because he has had his own tuition woes.
“I just want everybody to understand: I didn’t just read about this,” Obama said as the audience at the University of North Carolina crescendo from gradual applause to a full cheer. “I didn’t just get some talking points about this."
He continued, referring to himself and wife Michelle, “We didn’t come from wealthy families. We paid more in student loans than we paid on the mortgage when we finally did buy a condo.”
He noted the length it took for him to pay off his student loans, even though he now holds the nation’s highest office.
“We finished paying our student loans. And check this out -- I’m the President of the Untied States -- we only finished paying off our student loans about eight years ago.”
Obama criticized Republicans, who he said pay “lip service” to the concepts of student aid, a day after presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney said he “fully support[s] the effort to extend the low interest rate on student loans.”
“You’ll hear people say, yeah, education, it’s important,” he said. “That requires not just words but deeds.”
Romney spokesman Ryan Williams, who attended the event at UNC, responded to those remarks saying, “Governor Romney has made his position on this issue clear. He feels that we need to help college students during these tough economic times when they’re unable to find a job under this president.”
The House Republican budget, trumpeted by Wisconsin Republican Congressman Paul Ryan, would not increase funding for Pell Grants, and keep funding for them at current levels for the 10 years of the budget, Politifact notes. Romney has embraced the Ryan budget, saying the two are "on the same page."
The president was speaking to students and recent graduates here ostensibly to gin up awareness that student loans will double on July 1, from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent, unless Congress votes to extend the College Cost Reduction and Access Act, signed into law in September 2007.
As his administration has done frequently when it wants to generate buzz over a certain policy initiative, the president urged his audience to get involved through -- in addition to phone calls and email -- social media and in particular, Twitter.
“Call your member of Congress,” Obama urged. “Email them, write on their Facebook page, Tweet them… we have a hashtag.”
He introduced the hashtag as #dontdoublemyrate, and seemed to feed off the enthusiasm of the rally-like atmosphere by telling the audience to repeat the phrase after him.
“Everybody say it so you can remember it!” he urged.

It would of been nice if MSNBC ran the ENTIRE speech instead of Andrea Mitchell cutting it off.
Her interview with SOS Albright was taped anyway, why couldn't it have waited until tomorrow..?
Can't show America the 'youth vote' is fired up & ready to go now can we?
It goes against the MSN trying to portray Willard as having a fighting chance! lol
"Amen"
I completely fail to see how any Republican got elected in the first place with their just say no attitude.
The only thing they're for is whatever is the opposite of the President. The sky is blue, just get over it finally. Start believfing in something instead of believing against everything.
Who can blame Mitchell for cutting off Obama telling more lies.
I feel your pain? He sure as hell didn't care when he was a Senator!
What's changed? Oh, yeah his job is on the line!
That report seems to link two separate ideas made by the President.
President Obama's comment "I didn't just read about this" was made in reference to a quote by Virginia Foxx:
"I have very little tolerance for people who tell me that they graduate with $200,000 of debt or even $80,000 of debt because there’s no reason for that."
The President read out part of this quote, made by the out-of-touch Virginia Fox (R-NC).
Feisty,
It isn’t Andrea’s call – it’s the producer’s call.
He introduced the hashtag as #dontdoublemyrate, and seemed to feed off the enthusiasm of the rally-like atmosphere by telling the audience to repeat the phrase after him.
“Everybody say it so you can remember it!” he urged.
*********
Message is being sent all over the world.
OBAMA truly connects with the student's on their level .Unlike Mitt who cant even make the Bishops believe what he is saying ! The church still isn't buying it after seeing Mitzi in a " PRO ABORTION tv Ad" Then there was that Romney Care ad they also saw !
He connects with students who actually bother to come see him ..... because they already liked him or would not have come to see him anyway. "F" in logic.
Exactly how many threads are you planning to pollute with the same regurgitated chatter DumbFux?....lmao
We get it....Andrea really pissed in your Cheerios today
I wonder if Feisty DumbFux were to knock off a chunk, will she be in a better mood tomorrow? Or are the looney left ALWAYS pissed about someone something?? lol

Justice for Zimmerman!
I suppose Michael1969 get's it. After all, he's here vommiting all over these boards everyday.
Nice goatee buddy.
Is that a gay libral thing or something? Just curious because you're the third or fourth flaming loney lib here to comment on male appearances.
Weird. Must be a homo thing that I'm not in touch with.
I bet Lavender is your fave! LOL
For Fisty Dumfux (Great that you advertise your name on your Avatar. If he feels so much pain...how was it he missed the vote on this TWICE while he was Senator. Did he suddenly start to feel pain now that he is scrambling for his life? Yes, excuse this as petty like you do every time you are confronted with facts.

Bryan E. - Leave it up to Michael 1969 to go the gay route. It's all he has!
Bob & Jim - it's amazing how you jealous little boys always show up to put down a man that you know is way better than you in intelligence and integrity.
Obama/Biden 2012
BrianB must of been giving him 'tips' - funny thing is, the biggest homophobes are gay themselves!
Go figure!
Seeking,
I serously doubt that Bob & Jim are jealous of Barack. In fact, I don't think anyone is jealous of Obama. The fact that he missed votes TWICE leads me to believe that he really doesn't share their pain. Just more pandering to the youth of America...
JK1963 - and he is of course the only one to ever miss votes. Grow up! He is a good President and will do even better in his 2nd term when he has a Democratic house to support his proposals. And, Clearly Bob and Jim - and you - are jealous. President Obama is successful, smart, attractive, compassionate, and can run circles around Romney any day of the week!
And Romney - pandering to anyone stupid enough to listen to him.
My god...with drooling like that over Obama makes you make it sound like you want to date him...does Michelle know? For once, why don't YOU grow up! It's just more irony that he claims to "feel the pain", but yet couldn't make himself available to vote on a subject that was near and dear to his heart. Please...
As for jealousy, you are truly delusional if you think that there is anyone jealous of Barry...

JK1963 - I can admire a man who is smart and has great qualities and not want to date him. What are you - 6? Your posts are so adolescent you are totally embarrassing yourself. Please - you are so jealous of this man you are pathetic! Seriously, grow up!
Seeking,
You are the one that said he was "attractive"! As for being childish, you clearly sound like want to write him a love letter professing your undying love.
I believe it's you that should GROW UP! Perhaps in your little deluded world people like yourself want to be like Obama, but out here in the real world, it's a much different story. You remind of the all the young girls back in the '60's that saw the Beatles for the first time that were screaming and crying.
JK1963 - again, what a juvenile post. You seriously are only a child, right? I respect President Obama and the work he has done. And, since I work in the real world - you'll understand when you grow up - I know everyday what people are facing - much better than you do.
I see his opponent who stands for nothing and never has. I see him try to put thoughts together and contradict himself at every turn - when he's not making stupid comments (like you) and turning his audiences off.
Your post is totally absurd but it fits you.
Obama/Biden 2012
Seeking,
As usual you want to live in your little world. Unlike you, I work for living...perhaps when YOU grow up, work, contribute, then you can get past your teenage schoolgirl admiration for Obama and concentrate on things in the real world. I see Obama as someone who says one thing and then does another. I see Obama who makes promises and then doesn't deliver. At the end of the day, Romney is no better or worse than Obama.
ANYONE BUT OBAMA!
JK1963 - oh my - pretending again, huh? Dear I work and have been for quite a while. I make a nice living for myself. And, your fixation on one comment says it all about you. Romney has never said a word he hasn't changed his mind on. I'll take President Obama over Romney any day. He has intelligence and integrity - something Romney is sorely lacking.
Obama/Biden 2012
Whaaaa; Whaaaa; Whaaaa. Typical Obama reaction to something.
The bill was sponsored by 31 democrats in 2007. The democrats controlled both houses of congress at the time.
It is obvious that the democrats once again put forth a bill that isn't working for America.
When they authored it with complete control of congress, why did they do so at the peril of students in the future? They wrote the bill and now it is set to go where they designed to be. Now the president is once again whining like a small child that it is the fault of the republicans if they don't extend the bill at it's lowest cost factor. The true fact is that the democrats should never have included a provision that would have allowed dramatic increases, but they did.
This is typical of democrats doing something that comes back to bite us in the a*s and trying to make the republicans look like the bad guys. The only thing I don't understand is why the republican party isn't standing forefront and screaming about this. They should be telling every college student that it is the democrats who have done this to them and let them see how the democrats act in typical fashion.
Seeking Sanity, your name would be more applicable if you chenged it to "Seeking intellegence". You have about 10 posts above where you change the subject and start referring to "drooling" (which I am sure you do when you are writing" and worrying about looks instead of the issue. Are you going to acknowledge the hypocrisy of your man Osama in missing the vote twice as Senator (oh, the passion he has for the weak and poor students) and how now before the election it is his new hot button. Will post again for you, just ask us if you don't know how to get there and we will walk you through it. Then tell us again that we are jealous that we are not hypocrites? You and Fisty love to gloss over the facts.
http://www.politico.com/politico44/2012/04/as-senator-obama-missed-votes-on-student-loan-bill-121386.html
Bob-1136191- As I've indicated over and over, I'm seeking sanity in the GOP but none to be found. I have not changed my posts and I have never referred to drooling. But, I don't expect anything other than lies from you Bob. As I've said from the beginning - Senators do miss votes. I have no idea why he missed those so I can't comment on his reasons. But, he is stepping up to the plate as he has for so many and that's a good thing. I'm not glossing over anything and, again, no drooling. What a pathetic group that has to grasp at one word - attractive - and blow it totally out of proportion. But, I expect no better from the likes of you. You really are jealous and hypocrites at the same time. Now, go back to playing with your toys and hopefully someday you'll actually grow up.
You're right about one thing - it should be seeking intelligence in the GOP but, again, I would be disappointed as there is none to be found.
Thank you Bob! It's funny how they always seem to change topic. So let me ask the Obama fans on here...was Obama collecting a paycheck when he wasn't voting? I mean isn't that what we pay our representatives for?? To represent us working citizens and vote on legislation??
Seeking, oh, so we are "blowing it out proportion"? Really? I see Obama as doing nothing more than Romney...pandering to voters in an election year, nothing more... So if this was such a near and dear issue to Obama, he waits until an election year to bring it to light?
In Palm Springs Ca -- Agreed. But what an amazing response Raul Ryan made to the Catholic bishops about his horrendous plan. Ryan did this before when questioned about why he wants to increase defense spending beyond what the Pentagon asked for. Paul Ryan basically called the generals liars. To the right-wingers in here, do you not see the disconnect with this crap?
RE: The USCCB and the Paul Ryan plan:
"USCCB has been a leading advocate for debt relief in Third World countries because the bishops believe debt has to be relieved in a way to help the poor, not simply to placate bankers and rich people.
So Republicans seemed a little taken aback, when, in the midst of the USCCB's showdown with the Obama administration (and women, including nuns), the group took aim at the GOP for backing draconian cuts to government programs for the poor. The source of the controversy dates back to a an interview House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) gave to the Christian Broadcasting Network earlier this month, in which he suggested that his Catholic faith had inspired him to draft a budget that takes an axe to social welfare programs:
In response to these comments, as well the broader Ryan budget, the bishops have sent a series of letters to House GOP leaders criticizing the plan for the dire impact it would have on the poor and disadvantaged. Contrary to Ryan's insistence that the budget is in keeping with Catholic tenets, the bishops insist that many of the budget choices are actually immoral."
When will the GOP/TP stop with the chickens for health care, or churches providing Social Security via bake sales BS?!!!
-----
And, in regard to this article, WHY would anyone think it's okay for the government to provide money to banks at zero interest, yet it's okay for banks to increase the interest on student loans to an outrageous percent? For Pete's sake, the banks are making plenty of money on those loans right now!
JK1963 You and Bob are idiots. Let's bring up all the GOP who have missed votes. Oh wait - you don't want to go there. And, yes, they all have still collected paychecks. You and your stupid buddy just keep harping on stupidity but, it fits you.
Now, gotta go have dinner with my guy - who has brains! You're tiring and it will be nice to talk to someone who actually can think.
Obama/Biden 2012
SS - it have been well established!
I'm not trying to tell you what to do - but - your time is better spent elsewhere instead of arguing with imbeciles...
You can NOT reason with these nut jobs!
PS: What is up with the name Bob? Do you have to pass a certified @!$%# test prior to registering?
Seeking/DumbFux,
Nice with the name calling...textbook liberal defense...when you can't defend, you just resort to insults... It's exactly why the vast majority of Americans loath liberals like you...
Have a nice dinner..try not to spend all your guy's money...
Sanity's guy...god you have to feel sorry for him listening to her blather the same talking points over and over again. And Poor FISTY, we know she has no social life other that posting on every First Read Political article so she can wear out the Willard thing. By the way Fisty, love the way you are now having to copy fictional satire articles and comment on them because you have run out of intelligent comments. Maybe you and Beverly should get together so you aren't so lonely.
Bob,
I've never actually seen an intelligent post by Fisty...Her comments remind of that pesky little mosquito you hear buzzing around your ear...annoying, but seeing how pitiful her life is brightens my every day! Have a good night!
Vote Obama ....
Get free stuff ....
Obama to college students, "I will do, say, or promise anything you want to hear to get your vote."
At Least 58 Colleges Strike In Solidarity …
on a side note with thee the passing of H.R 347
all but 3 reps who voted no and possibly 47 who abstained, all senators and the president who signed need to be voted out of office.
Well Obama says he and Michelle borrowed money but where are the documents? I do not trust Obama to tell the truth anymore. Show us your college records.
Why isn't Obama running on his accomplishments? Why is Obama just attacking and taking cheap shots that are baseless lies? Those of you that still support Obama after seeing what he has done these last 3 years are examples of Barnum's famous quote. You can fool some people all the time.
That feisty red head is most likely one of those GSA people that are parasites on the American tax payer. She is just protecting Obama because he is the source of the waste/pork that government maggots live on. For you ragging on Ryan's budget, just were is Obama's budget? The senate has not passed a budget in 3 years. Some leadership that cannot ever get a budget passed through the Democrat controlled senate because even the Democrats vote against it. Anyone that will vote for Obama after he has added 5 trillion to the debt in 3 years is so radical partisan logic that their cognitive powers are flawed.
Why so many stupid questions? Try getting information from somewhere other than FOX Noise or Hate Radio, and definitely stay away from those chain E-mails -- God Bless America!
Bob,
Please provide proof of the "intelligent comments" you speak of. I call BS!
Urban Myer signed a 24 million dollar 6 year deal with Ohio State to be the football coach. A contract that is loaded with incentives for additional income. I wonder what a contract like that does to the cost of a college education?
It is funny that BO gets up there and rails against the increase that was written in by non other than ....... DEMOCRATS! D's wrote it in and blame the R's. LOL you just can't make this stuff up.
Anyone catch the latest "govt running your life" initiative from the administration? They are trying to ban rural farm kids from doing chores around the farm. Seriously. If they can't do that there goes all the 4H and FFA events right out the window. Next they will ban kids from making their beds under the guise of child labor laws, as they are doing here. Geez.
obama claims that he just finished paying for his college loans.
what a horrible joke.
we have no way to verify this.
the man is a millionaire and has been for a while. if he just finished paying off his college loans he was milking the system.
i think that this is just another lie by obama.
you guys do know that it was a democrat lead house that passed the bill to increase the interest on college loans.
Behind Obama’s Definition of Wealth and Paying Off Student Loans
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/04/behind-obamas-definition-of-wealth-and-paying-off-student-loans-2/
source: ABC NEWS
President Obama told students at the University of North Carolina Tuesday that he knows what it is like to struggle with student loan debt because he and his wife didn’t pay off their student loans until eight years ago.
That may be true, but a quick look at the Obamas’ tax returns shows they were making enough to be considered “wealthy” by the president’s own definition in the years before his loans were paid off.
The student loan stuff that's the focal point of Obama's speeches that he's making to youth wherever he goes is legislation the Democrats wrote but he won't tell you that! He talked about it a lot yesterday. The interest rate increase is coming up for a vote on July 1st because the Democrat-controlled Congress in 2007 wanted it that way. Obama is running around scaring these students who don't know the facts or the truth behind this, that if something isn't done by the Congress, by July 1st, their student loan interest rate will double.
The Democrats controlled both houses of Congress in 2007. They had just won the election. The House, they took it back in 2006. Pelosi's running the House; Democrats are running the Senate. So 2007 they passed legislation that would cut the student loan interest rate in half and then reinstituted it July 1st this year, on purpose. They wanted the college student loan interest rate to double in an election year, in the summer right before the conventions. They were rolling the dice.
So that it would appear to be doubling to students this year, the Democrats did all of this. They did it to have a campaign issue in case they needed it in 2012. July 1st. So five years ago they planned this. Obama was a Senator in 2007, and he didn't even vote on this bill. Twice! There were two votes on raising the college loan interest rate back to what it will be -- doubling it, in effect -- on July 1st, 2012. He didn't even vote "present." He was too busy campaigning. That's how vitally important the issue of student loan interest rates was to him back then.
Obama doesn't tell college students that because of him, they will be paying for his debt for years to come. Also, the "Bush/obama" tax cuts expire at the end of the year so your taxes are going up. Has the economy gotten any better?
I'm still waiting for Redhead to post a reply to your factual post.
Sure Willard, we believe you. However, you flip flop on this issue because you support the failed Ryan budget. This Willard Romney is the biggest liar that has ever run for President.
At the Romney rally I attended in Portland a few months ago, a woman specifically asked Romney about student loan debt, and he said the answer was to not go to college unless you could pay cash. No kidding. He said student loans pushed the price of tuition up and the only way to get it down was for fewer people to borrow money to pay for collge.
Amy--the only principal Mitt doesn't seem to flip on is the "market". He wants the market to force colleges to lower tuition (by having less demand I suppose). He wants the housing market to hit bottom with more foreclosures to turn real estate into rental properties. He of course wanted Detroit to go bankrupt. In fact, unless you're Wall Street, Mitt is very happy letting the market chew you up and spit you out.
Romney may now say he is for helping out students, but he is following Ryan's budget - so that will be a promise that will disappear.
Always look to what the party they represent are actually doing - and in the case of the Republicans - if you don't come from money to pay cash for college - no college for you!
job1 -- gotta disagree.
Candidate Obama made these and many more promises which he has not kept. Now I imagine you may come back with excuses as to why but the bottom line is he said he would do this and he has not:
Increase the capital gains and dividends taxes for higher-income taxpayers
Expand the child and dependent care credit
End income tax for seniors making less than $50,000
End no-bid contracts above $25,000
Repeal the Bush tax cuts for higher incomes
Phase out exemptions and deductions for higher earners
Forbid companies in bankruptcy from giving executives bonuses
Provide the CDC $50 million in new funding to determine the most effective approaches for cancer patient care
Require employers to provide seven paid sick days per year
Close the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center
Develop an alternative to President Bush's Military Commissions Act on handling detainees
Allow five days of public comment before signing bills
Tougher rules against revolving door for lobbyists and former officials
Amy - he really said that? OMG - this clod is so out of touch with reality. Unbelievable. But, he'll want students to vote for him. He's actually almost certifiably insane. Unbelievable!
Of course, no links... We must just make this stuff up as you go along...
Bold added for emphasis!
Satisfied?
OH My!
Where did this douche bag scurry off to?
Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL -- Thanks for getting that quote and link -- I was about to do the same. But what's with right-wingers like JK1963? Is The Google not working for them?
Katheryn Brandy -- Agreed, it is the actions and not the flip-flop words folks need to keep in mind. Romney's support of the Paul Ryan plan to cut education including PELL grants, etc. shows what his true positions are.
True Patriot - no problemo!
I'm just curious to where JFK ran off to?
They never let a FACT get in their way!
Fisty, I would guess he has a real life...unlike you. Why don't you swig another bottle of wine and post some fictional satire about Romney. Poor lonely thing.
Keep those freebees flowing ....
Vote Obama ....
Today's college kids are smart. They know Obama didn't help them when he had the chance. Now that he is loosing their vote he is trying to make a play to Ge it back by pushing the same agenda he previously ignored.
http://www.politico.com/politico44/2012/04/as-senator-obama-missed-votes-on-student-loan-bill-121386.html
Obama to college students, "I will do, say, or promise anything you want to hear to get you to vote for me."
"Romney replied: "It would be popular for me to stand up and say, 'I'm going to give you government money to pay for your college,' but I'm not going to promise that. … Don't expect the government to forgive the debt that you take on.""
Right on, the freebie ride is over. Must be shocking to have someone tell the truth. Why would the government forgive a debt you owe? This is why Liberals are not to bright. Who do you think would pay for that "forgiven debt"? The debt fairy? I know it won't be you, you proved you don't work being on here up to 18 hours a day. It's cool getting free stuff. But for being an Accountant that you claimed to be I see why you don't work, you're not good at it since you don't know the difference between capital gains and federal taxes.
Corporate welfare and more tax breaks for the rich are so much better (riiiight). This is about lower interest rates, not "free" money. You said the same crap about birth control with no co-pay, though hardly "free" after premiums and deductibles are paid.
There's a post about Virginia and the retired military folks who get nice pensions and discounts at the military store. along with their second incomes from jobs in the defense industry. Where is your outrage about this?
Morons.

Redhead,
Can you ever post a reply without calling people names?
Feisty, the photos over The Obama Diary are spectacular. Looks like President Obama connected big time with his audience. Look at their faces. Pure joy. Packed house. Looks like the president enjoyed himself as well.
Why didn't he "connect" at Fenway, Pat??
Is it because those were real people instead of his paid fan club?
He sure did Pat!
They were sending him some major ♥ - the looks on the faces of the students behind him said it all...
Not in my wildest dreams can I imagine Willard connecting to young people the way our President does!
See President Obama 'gets it' whereas Willard hasn't a clue!
Yeah Red, all 9000 of them in the field house. The last Obama event speech during the 08 campaign, over 28000 were in the audience. Let's see, that's about a 2/3 drop in students.
Could it be they are concerned about the lack of jobs attributed to his administration? Not buying into the same theme from the last election?
And good ole Sandra tweeted the same message on her account that was word-for-word from the Obama speech to the students. Hmmmmmm, a DNC or WH shill?
Obama captured the student loan program for the government, now he is demanding congress lower the loan rates prior to July. Couldn't get it right the first time?
Ya boy, the president is the best thing to come along for the RNC. Keep speaking Barry.
They were sending him some major ♥
His paid audience you mean.
Not the regular folks like over at Fenway Park. Take a listen everybody...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQjyD4pb9yQ
Pretty startlingly reaction for such a beloved President.
My guess - you won't see Obama at any big open public sporting events where they can't control the response from everyday Americans.
Democrat love to stuff ballot boxes and this one loves to stuff his paid lackeys into auditorium stands.
Not in my wildest dreams can I imagine Willard connecting to young people the way our President does!
http://www.politico.com/politico44/2012/04/as-senator-obama-missed-votes-on-student-loan-bill-121386.html
Obama didn't care too much about the college kids back then. I guess with an eviction notice hanging over your head things change.
Too bad all this guy can do is talk.
Time for real leadership and goverance.
Romney/Rubio 2012
oh yeah - pat - college kids are going to go for Obama.
My son goes to a small Southern conservative college and he says even there the kids are pumped for Obama.
Rob & Winemaker - dumb and dumber. President Obama doesn't have to pay anyone to show up at his speeches - unlike Romney who can't even get a crowd if he promises to pay them. The college students will again turn out for Obama. Romney has nothing to offer!
You do need to seek some sanity person. Where did I state that the 9000 students that showed up had to pay for their admission to his talk?
The fact is, during the first Obama visit, over 28K showed, this time only 9K, a drop of 66% from speech one.
We'll see what Feisty's Mittens will offer when we hear the debates. Until then, I hope Obama continues to udder, udder, udder. He does talk a good game, but can't seem to produce for the nation.
winemaker - I keep seeking sanity in the GOP but, sadly as you show post after post, there is none to be found.
You do know exams start next week? Not the best time to fill a place. Yet he still got soooooo many more than Romney would have. President Obama has done a good job and will do even better his 2nd term.
Obama/Biden 2012
Sanity,
Obama won't have a second term. He's crapped on so many different groups, promising them one thing or another, without producing anything.
He took over the student loan program, now is blaming Congress for the high rate of return. It's his program to account for.
Under this guy the annual growth rate has been 1.7% for the last two years. I guess this poor growth will be blamed on Bush, or the Republicans for not supporting his strange economic program.
Exams start next week. Okay, how does that relate to seeing and hearning a president? Are you saying the lack of turn out was due to the fact that students need to obtain a good grade to compete in this poor economy, and that's the reason for the 66% drop?
You have no knowledge if more would have turned out for Feisty's Mittens - just a little liberal mis-statement.
It amazes me how the liberal will spin the failures of a poor president.
winemaker - s usual your posts make no sense. Your whining is just all the GOP has to do. His programs being blocked by the GOP is a very real reason the economy is recovering as slowly as its is.
And, I do hate to tell you but when students are cramming for exams they tend to miss a lot of things they wouldn't under normal circumstances.
You are totally ignorant of facts and common sense. It amazes me the lengths the do nothing Republicans will go to in order to bad mouth a very good President.
Again, he'll do better during his 2nd term and you can continue to belittle him because it makes you feel like a big man.
Obama to college students, "I will do, say, or promise anything if you will just vote for me in November."
Sanity,
I'm sorry you have difficulty comprehending facts, but then if you believe so strongly in the Obama failures, then you will not agree with dissenting comments and facts.
No, the GOP has hot filibustered his policies, he just doesn't have any programs that do nothing other than spend money on companies or policies that lose taxpayer dollars. For the amount of money used on the various stimulus programs, green energy failures, the return to the taxpayers is failed policies. No jobs, no green energy, failure.
Obama will not be elevated to a second term, but will be ranked right under Jimmy Carter as having the worst record of any administration.
And for your last statement: I don't feel like a big man; I believe I am no different than a number of Americans who will vote against the Great Divider.
J Merle Stanley-
JUST ASS to THE REST OF US!!!!!!!!
Puhleeze Buzzy - let her continue to sleep it off...
She's been on a real bender lately!
Tyler banned her !!!!
About time!
No doubt she'll sneak back in...
Bye bye...JMerle......for now.
Feisty it will be easy to recognize her posts, she never changes the message.
GM,
Poor thing - never did recover from Hillary losing in 08 did she?
For Fisty Dumbfux (Great that you advertise your name on your Avatar). If he feels so much pain...how was it he missed the vote on this TWICE while he was Senator. Did he suddenly start to feel pain now that he is scrambling for his life? Guess he didn't feel like connecting back then heh?

Tyler bans everyone the vine libs tell him to.
Says someone who speaks from experience! lol
Right... safecracker?
Really? Then why are you still here? And in comparison to Feisty's posts that are collapsed though not in violation of forum rules, where do you people come up with this crap?
Obama to college students, "I will promise you anything to get your vote."
Why has the fiesty red head keep posting? When ever I see her on line she always has multiple posts with personal attacks. She incites others to follow her lead. This woman or thing is a truly miserable person that incites hate speech.
Actually Fiesty is a paid Democratic Party blogger. Everyday she gets her talking points, and everyday she posts them. Liberals are like lemmings, they cannot stand on their own if separated from the pack. They have an incoherent message with no level of honesty about their own party. Blame, denial, and personal attacks are really all they have since their record is so dismal. If only the first liberal would just jump off the cliff, liberalism would end.

She is usually the first to post on topics, most of it is nasty name calling, once she gets her digs in she goes away after the first page. I still don't understand why Newsvine tolerates her name calling attacks.
Romney is going to have his hands full trying to beat Barrack Obama, in the general election. It's smooth, sincere and personable, against a stiff, pathological liar, that just rubs people the wrong way. Romney is fighting above his weight class, way above his weight class, it won't be close enough to go to the scorecards, I predict a knockout.
I predict.... you moonbats will knock yourselves out predicting a landslide from now till the end of October, and spreading the usual moonbat manure ...
...and then be surprised in November when your Messiah loses.
Obama is going to have his hands full trying to beat Mitt Romney, in the general election. It's smooth, sincere and personable, against a stiff, pathological liar, that just rubs people the wrong way. Obama is fighting above his weight class, way above his weight class, it won't be close enough to go to the scorecards, I predict a knockout.
NOBAMA2012, "Hope" comes with a "Change" in Leadership.
BIV, I am sure we would like to see a landslide and enjoy the possiblity of it, but more than likely it will be within say 1,000,000 in favor of the Messiah. If you read the right post for Romney he must be your Messiah he has enough money to walk on water, is that all it takes these days to make you on the right drool al over yourself is a rich white guy that wants to keep making the rich richer and the poor poorer. Way to undivide the country and make us whole again.
Well let's check the "tale of the tape", Romney has angry white middle-aged males in his corner and Obama has everybody else. It spells electoral knockout.
Hey Forrest easy on the angry white guys, I am both and would like to take every numbnut republican and throw them in any ocean I can find. We don't need small narrow minded self-rightous nimwits here, let them swim south until they reach ice.
Point taken Tis the Season, not all the anger is on the republican side.
forrest -- so, RCP says that 61.8% of those polled think the country is going in the wrong direction. how does this impact the "everybody else" group you mention.
do you expect they will vote for obama in-spite of this lack of confidence in the direction he is leading the country?
Forrest,
Just when I think all is lost, you pull me back in. Thanks for pointing out the obvious, both sides are very angry, rude, crude and socially unexceptionable.
I added the last part for flair. :)
As always, good to see you.
You to see you to Thetotas, Obama has the better message, the old "take your country back" message of republicans did work the last time, and will not work any better now. Obama and the democrats have a more inclusive message and that always works better in a general election. BTW I am Grumpy but I try my best not to be rude to folks, crude at times, but hopefully not rude.
Good to see you is what my fingers should have typed.
Obama to college students, "when I make you a promise it is believable, so believe me when I say I will promise anything to get your vote."
I question the amount of student Loans for the Obama's as well as how long it took them to pay them off.....Let's see....I am exactly one year older than our President, and I went to college, and I had student Loans, and my student loans have been paid off for over 25 years......And my husband also had student loans, and they have been paid off for over 25 years.....so what took the Obama's so long????? As we are not permitted access to his educational records, I don't see why we would have access to his claim to understand the pain of student loans either. I, and most of my peers have children going through this right now.....no jobs after graduation, but student loans to pay for....Just like it was back in 1979/80 thanks to Mr. Carter....and guess what I still managed to pay my loans off....so I would say Mr. Obama's contention that he understands raises more questions than it answers....Questions which will never be answered.
Can't wait til we hear Mitt tell us how he, too, can feel the pain of student loan interest. It took me many years to pay off mine---what a feeling of accomplishment that was. Yet another area where Mitt can't relate---Ann says that when they were struggling early on they would be forced to sell some stock. The ultimate Republican sin---invading the principal.
Obama to college students, "no I haven't been lying for the past three and half years, I just need more time to get the job done. So I promise to promise you whatever it takes to get your vote, and then do my best to deliver by the end of my fourth term."
He continued, referring to himself and wife Michelle, “We didn’t come from wealthy families. We paid more in student loans than we paid on the mortgage when we finally did buy a condo.”
Yeah, and after the condo, you got a borderline fraudulent sweetheart deal on a house from a convicted crook named Tony Rezko......
Funny, he left that part out.
Biv I am sorry but I thought the right was saying Obama was handed his education for free, are you going to refute that are you going to admitt he paid for his education. How do you suppose he did that since according to the right he never had a job, come on if you expect to convert anyone here you have to stay on message and stop flip floping its becoming a habit for the right.
Ha when a republican gets a good deal it is shrewd business, when Obama gets a good deal it is borderline fraudulent. Whatever Bob. Bottom-line is that many people like Obama, Romney is not that likable, it is a huge political problem for Romney.
Please, please, please, keep hammering this point home night and day every day until the election. 'Cause if you guys think crap like this is going to get Romney elected, Obama will have an easier time of it than I dared hope.
He introduced the hashtag as #dontdoublemyrate, and seemed to feed off the enthusiasm of the rally-like atmosphere by telling the audience to repeat the phrase after him.
Hey, Obama "#dontbankruptmycountry"
College students with No Experience in the REAL WORLD, these are Obama's people!
Thats it ssmithlg keep dividing the people into different classes and blame Obama for class warfare. Rich, poor, smart, dumb, no experience, to much experience, Obama's people, Romneys people, North, South, East West. What ever happen to the American People.
Mr Obama has already made the divisions himself....he has said so publicly by eliminating entire voting blocks from his campaign concerns. And he continues to offer handouts to many subgroups, and hopes that it will buy him votes.....Yes, Virginia, the Presidency is for sale.....just like Obama's senate seat in Illinois.
College students, idealogues with No Experience in the REAL WORLD, let the brainwashing begin!
O-Baa-Maa, O-Baa-maa, O-Baa-Maa, O-Baa-Maa, O-Baa-Maa, O-Baa-Maa.

NOBAMA2012, and Return to Sanity
Great!
Yet again, this moron marches out his worn out RWNJ chain e-mail as if it's some kind of rebuttal! lmao
He doesn't even have the balls to give proper attribution!
Hang tight sniffy - the med cart is on it's way! ☺
Feisty - there aren't enough meds for ssmithlg. But, he/she does prove my "no sanity in the GOP" don't cha think? Seriously, where did all these dingbats come from today???? Do you think this idiot realizes that most of these have been proved to be lies? Do you think this idiot cares? Probably not!
I have to laugh. The only people who ever refer to Obama as the messiah is the far right. Clearly they hold him in high regard!
Don't be confused - the messiah reference is a dog whistle to those who still miss John Birch and his minions!
Fisty, you knock him when you are busy posting fictional satire as if it is real in the hopes some people will believe it? You are the poster child in that category!
Talk about brainwashing and common sense, how is giving rich people more wealth going to create jobs? It has not yet, rich people are getting richer so where are all the jobs they should be creating for us? It has not worked in 30 years, so why do some persist in saying it will, well it won't. How does a rich person buying a 300,000 dollar Bentley create more jobs than 10 people buying a 30,000 thousand dollar Chevy. Get my drift? How many millionaires shop in your town, do you have a Rolls Royce dealership or a luxury yacht factory. A good economy and jobs are created by many middle class and lower middle class people with a little money to spend on goods and services, and those are the job creators. It is that simple, you want an economy based on mass production then it demands mass consumption, people need money to be consumers. Rich people don't create jobs, they create a means of making more profit for themselves, when the middle class is sucked dry where will the profit they seek and only employ people as a means to collect come from? Brainwashed is continuing to believe less for you will somehow turn into more for you, it has not in 30 years of this trickle down BS, and it never will. Lowering your wages and increasing your share of the tax burden will only mean less for you. People in the right to work for less and less and less states are not prospering they are now just the working poor, those states have not solved any economic problems or unemployment problems for their citizens, they simply lowered the income for the entire state except the owners, their profit went up, so why is there no glut of jobs in those states. Less for the middle class is simply less, it will never will turn into more of anything, least of all good jobs for your children. Of course they are hiring in Texas, $10.80 cents an hour for full time brain-washers! You can't raise a family or even support yourself on that kind of money but it sure beats paying union dues, right. Yeah well take your brain out rinse, wash, and rinse again, then maybe it will work for y'all.
Be honest, ssmith just ate your luch with that post !
How does it feel to be totally humiliated with the facts that were posted by him/her, to which your only reply can be personal attacks ?
Bob Hope desctribes these "obamabots" perfectly!

ssmithlg you have the robot leader, find him an oil can he keeps getting on a stage and squeaking.
piss the season
your moron leader keeps getting on stage and making an ass out of his big eared skinny assed empty suit self.
bob-2579213 - OOOOOOOH using the big words huh? What? Did all the GOP dropouts come out today? This is the most childish group I've seen on a site in a long time. Let's see - Romeny - can't even make a speech without contradicting himself and making a perfect fool of himself.
Dear President, I feel their pain too! But let's put the blame where it belongs and that is on corrupt corporates who are the ones that REAP THE HARVEST from the graduated STUDENTS! Let's put legislation in to transfer ALL STUDENT school money to the corporates! That's where it belongs anyway!
And, by the way STUDENTS, vote STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC, the lives you save may be your OWN & your CHILDREN!
TR the lives that are already bankrupt....the children and the children's grand children should be on the consciences of the DemoCRAPic Congress and that moron stinking up the White House if in fact they had any consciences. But being stinking liberals they don't.
'TR' Rose II says: "And, by the way STUDENTS, vote STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC".
ssmithlg says: "And when they become ADULTS, they vote STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN"
ssmithlg - the ones who graduate with any knowledge at all vote Democratic!
Obama to students: "How does it feel to be in college? I never went, but George Soros fabricated a story that I did... I only went as far as grade school in Indoneshia"
bob-2579213 - yeah - and that's how he headed Harvard Law Review. You're probably one of those absurd birthers too, right? You guys that are sooooo jealous of President Obama are really sad little boys.
You're damn right I am I want an American as my president, not some imported moron from Kenya that was educated by terrorist muslims in Asia. Sorry, but the only thing that moron knows about the Constitution is how to violate it. Just like he violates the rules of common sense and economics every day since he's been stinking up the White House!!
bob-2579213 - you must be so embarrassed to be you. I mean, really, how backward do you have to be to be spouting the nonsense you do? Pathetic excuse for a human being is all you are.
Joe Biden's still paying off his high School loans...and hi's pissed because he never even got his diploma!
Tr... "seeking Sanity in all the wrong places and any other of your moron libs out there....how does your volvo's run on Obammie's Kick-a-boo juice??? the fuel of the future....ALGAE JUICE? LOFLMAO!!!!
wow what a record Unemployment up wasteful goverment spending up credit rating down, jobs down defense weaker.... yeah I'll vote for the HOpe Dope again.....after i get done laughing at this friggen loser!! One and done Obummer after November you're just going to be about as pleasant a political memory as an elevator fart.
bob - 2579213 - you clearly have problems. My guess is they're of your own making but still, a troubled person. Should probably go back down into mom's basement and play your Star Wars games. And, make sure to take your pills. You'll feel much better tomorrow. (Wow!)
bob2579213, Our biggest problem are IDIOTS like SeekingSanity that have absolutely NO CLUE how the "whole thing" works. "Sanity" is something that will continue to elude them while in their Obama Kool Aid induced trance.
NOBAMA2012, End the Tyranny & Deceit
The ever-growing list of Barack Obama gaffes and blunders
Here are the highlights of Obama Gaffes and mistakes
Hard to believe Libidiots still support this MORON, he's an embarassment to most.
I'll bet Mitt never had trouble paying for his tuition bills or those of his kids. It must be nice to be born with a silver spoon. Mitt has no clue as he is completely out of touch. At least the President worked his way up and earned his wealth although it's only a fraction of what Mitt inherited from Dad.
SacredFire, here's the REAL story of Mitt Romney's wealth........
"Mitt Romney's success is based on his 25-year career in business and the fact that he founded and led one of the most successful private equity companies in the world," spokesman Ryan Williams said.
That wasn't as helpful as, say, a copy of his father's will.
Nor was there any information about George Romney's financial legacy in the many obituaries for the Michigan luminary, who died in 1995 at age 88.
But Mitt Romney has addressed the question himself, it turns out, in an interview with C-SPAN in 2006. Host Brian Lamb asked him why his father hadn't given him an inheritance.
Romney answered, "Well, he didn’t have as much as I think some people anticipated. And I did get a check from my dad when he passed away. I shouldn’t say a check, but I did inherit some funds from my dad. But I turned and gave that away to charity. In this case I gave it to a school which Brigham Young University established in his honor. ... And that’s where his inheritance ended up."
According to a short history of the George W. Romney Institute of Public Management at BYU, the family provided an endowment in 1998, within a few years of George Romney's death.
So, in Romney's own words, he did "inherit some funds" from his dad. But he gave them away.
Why?
"I figured we had enough of our own," he said.
The firm was founded in 1984 by partners from the consulting firm Bain & Company.
Mitt Romney was offered the CEO position of a new company, Bain Capital, by his current boss Bill Bain. Mr. Bain guaranteed Mr. Romney that if the company did not perform well he would get his old job back at Bain & Co. at thesame pay plus any pay increases he would have received.
There was no risk for Mitt Romney {period}.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bain_Capital
"At least the President worked his way up and earned his wealth", REALLY?
Since he became a senator, his wife Michelle has brought in something more than a million last year.
At her job at the hospital she was promoted to the board and more than doubled her salary by more than a hundred thousand,
She is on the board of some food company where she earns more than the CEO of Wal-mart even though the company earns about 1/29 of Wal-marts income.
She is also part of another company where she earns more than a hundred twenty nine thousand a year.
In 2007 they posted a joint return of something more than four and a quarter million dollars.
I guess doing favors, brings great rewards.
Where did he get money for tuition?
Student Loans? Maybe. After Columbia, he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000. a year. Why Chicago? Why not New York? He was already living in New York.
By 'chance' he met Antoin 'Tony' Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria, and a real estate developer in Chicago. Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year. Rezko, was named 'Entrepreneur of the Decade' by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association'. About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School. Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School?
Where did he get the money for Law School?
More student loans? After Law school, he went back to Chicago. Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill &Galland. Guess what? They represented 'Rezar' which Rezko's firm. Rezko was one of Obama's first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago. In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with 'seed money' for his U.S. Senate race. In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwoood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than asking price). With ALL those Student Loans -
Where did he get the money for the property?
On the same day Rezko's wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama's new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko.
Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie Jarrett, was Michele Obama's boss. She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz, Iran! Do we see a pattern here? Or am I going crazy?
On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley advisor to Obama was 'sacked' after the press found out he was having regular contacts with 'Hamas', which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran.
This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama's visit to Iraq, he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will 'Take care of things'.
Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that where born in Pakistan? They are in charge of all those 'small' Internet campaign contribution for Obama.
Where is that money coming from?
The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East?
And the final bit of news. On September 7, 2008, The Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on 'This Week' with George Stephanapoulos. Obama on talking about his religion said, 'My Muslim faith'. When questioned, 'he make a mistake'. Some mistake!
All of the above information I got on line. If you would like to check it - Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett: Daily Times - Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times - September 7, 2008; The Times May 10, 2008.
Now the BIG question - If I found out all this information on my own, Why haven't all of our 'intelligent' members of the press been reporting this?
A phrase that keeps ringing in my ear - 'Beware of the enemy from within' !!!
THANK YOU!!! I researched this and confirmed everything for myself pre-2008 election. I cannot believe the stupidity of the sheep. I wonder when they will wake up?
Yea "I feel your pain" But when he had 2 chances to do something about it he didn't even show up. Now he is pushing the same agenda.
http://www.politico.com/politico44/2012/04/as-senator-obama-missed-votes-on-student-loan-bill-121386.html
Sorry Obama. The young voters are not as dumb as you think, you have lost the youth vote and it's not coming back.
Treating the symptom does not solve the problem: the cost of education. Let's break that down shall we: higher administrative cost due to increased regs (dems), higher pension and salary costs for unionized teachers (dems), more buildings less money for students (dems - unionized construction). I'll tell you what, if you treat the causes for higher costs, then I will vote for relief of the sympton. For God sake people, stop being led to slaughter -- THINK FOR YOURSELF!!!!!
FYI, private schools have 1/2 the resources and their students score better on exams. What's the difference? Morality and teachers are not unionized...and teachers are allowed to teach!
And liberals are so foolish they think they can con someone into thinking it's not their fault. Can't fix stupid.
Every, thing that BHO, Axlerod & DNC along with the willing participation of mainstream media is calculated in a political application format. From what Barack eats for breakfast right down to how he ties his shoes.
I mean everything there is controlled, handled viewed thru/with political machine precision they are not living like real people, more like just acting out a movie script. Hillary Rosen was just the latest actress to play her part in this for public consumption epic presentation of "FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION" The Movie \ sadly it's a Reality show that has dire consequences. However this is being played out in real life so there are variables. but when reality kicks in they have a innumerable team of production assistants and damage control specialists to spin the script the way they need to for the most politically expedient and correct(in their eyes) public relations & manipulation outcome.
All this being a Gross disservice and maniacal wrong perpetrated on firstly the American people and for that matter the entire world. Case in point; fast and furious op. resulting in our own immigration official being killed. (granted the criminals that killed him would have used any weapon available fact remains it was a gun traced to f&f op.) Also countless hundreds or even thousands people in central and south America affected by this. Not much outrage displayed or Legal ramification reported in mainstream media. { keep it quiet} convenient lies!
Another point: trillions in debt, especially wasted money sent to political cronies for failed and still failing propositions (won’t elaborate any more than that you know what I mean.)
Bottom line is America, you/we can continue to just play a part in this fallacy or we can collectively roll the credits on this flick. And move on to a Reality based upon truth, justice and the American exceptionalism that has honestly propelled us thru well over 200 years of prosperity unseen anywhere else in world history.
Unfortunately, the Potus LET EVERYONE DOWN. He promised transparency, working across the aisle, balanced budgets, representing the people, and "yes we can; instead, we got a healthcare bill, although well-intended, inherently flawed by assuming the government is the best facility to run it. DO not forget the lack of transparency of the vote (the closed door -dems only, Pelosi shoving down even her own party's throat politics) and the blatant diregard for the will of the people (80% were against it) Let's not forget Pelosi telling everyone to vote for it so that THEY CAN READ IT!
NO...I will not vote for a POTUS that lied about his past, broken every commitment he has made to the public and has made it difficult to spend time on business vs. all of the regulatory @#$%l.
Open your eyes...if you believe in God, you cannot possibly vote for ABO.
As long as your ostrich syndrome is intact you progies are beyond reaching with any logical thought. however reality & not lies will soon shake your heads out of the sand and you will have to face the truth. this may cause some of you some emotional distress therefore we will all be there for you with our support to re-assimilate you in to a rightful existence. your welcome! PEACE out to you...
vote
So, obama can " feel your pain ". Does that mean they're getting everything paid for like he did?
