As Republicans hold their party convention in Florida this week, the president will make a personal appeal to college voters in three university towns: Ames, Iowa; Fort Collins, Colo.; and Charlottesville, Va. Obama’s victory four years ago was propelled in part by his overwhelming support among college-aged voters, and polls show him leading Republican rival Mitt Romney with that group in this year’s race. But the president faces an undeniable challenge as he seeks to convince young people that he is the right steward for the economy as they eye a shaky postgraduation job market.”
The DNC is out with a video, entitled, “Mitt Romney: You Didn’t Build That – You Destroyed It.” It focuses on his time at Bain Capital.

Obama-Biden 2012
Good morning to all,
Yes, sure, brain washed. Ready for the picking. I wonder when would he be going to the High Schools to recruit the Seniors.
Yes I saw this happening in my country also. Who can forget those Grammar School kids singing "Obama can do it". Please wake up.
This should be entertaining ... college graduates are finding fewer and fewer open doors for the job market and Obama is pandering for their votes. Too bad for him that college students are now replacing their idealism with the cold reality that "something isn't right" with our country's leadership.
Expect a cold shoulder to the vagueness of "Hope and Change" this time around. You might have been able to fool them once, Mr. President, but they are smart enough to see through the "Sham-Wow" salesman that resides in the White House.
Romney/Ryan 2012 for a return of opportunity and less government !

If it's all about JOBS!JOBS!JOBS! why then, the Republicans didn't want to vote on:
S. 3364 (Bring Jobs Home Act) A bill to provide an incentive for businesses to bring jobs back to America.
or
S. 3816 (Creating American Jobs and Ending Offshoring Act ) A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to create American jobs and to prevent the offshoring of such jobs overseas.
why are the Republicans so against rewarding companies FOR BRINGING JOBS TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA???

Why would college students want to vote for republicans who wanted to increase the interest rate on student loans? Who also wanted to give student loans back to the banks to charge whatever interest rate they want?
Yes more opportunity and less government for the rich. The rest of us get screwed.
You have distorted the truth... the rates are merely returning to where they were before they were TEMPORARILY lowered !
Besides, when is it the function of our government to subsidize individuals who did not plan ahead for college ? Many of us parents have sacrificed and socked away money over the years instead of EXPECTING THE GOVERNMENT to handle everything in our lives.
I have one in trade school, one in college and another a year away from college ... planning helps.
They should make a video about the President's time at the executive branch of the US government entitled: "But you promised Mr. President" about all of the President's broken promises regarding the economy.
The stimulus was suppose to solve our economic problems. That did not happen.
The President promised to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first administration. That is not happening.
The new health care law is suppose to lower medical related costs. That is not happening.
We should all be happy that our troops are out of harms way and that GITMO is closed. Everyone now loves us in the world so we do not have to spend so much on defence.
I hope that students will think of the President as the train to become highly educated members of the ranks of unemployed. All hail the Chief!
Go ahead kids....vote for him. And when you get out of college with your little piss-ant sociology degrees, you, like all the other sycophants here, and your parents, can blame Bush for not getting a job other than in a gov't run rice paddy.
The way things are going under President Obama, college students should be advised to take courses in Manderin if they want ot make it in Obama's world of hope and change. Anywhere but the US is where the economic oportunities are.
Those who favor totalitarianism want people to be poorly educated as they are easier to control. President Obama appreciates intelectual power as new ideas and inventions come from intelectuals. He also knows they are smart enough to see through the lies and tactics of those who would turn the country into a Corporate Fascist dictatorship.
Definition of TOTALITARIANISM
1: centralized control by an autocratic authority
2: the political concept that the citizen should be totally subject to an absolute state authority
Sounds more like the No-bama administration to me than not, Adler (as in Alfred, who supported the inferiority complex?).
