The President helped secure low interest college loan rates for college students very recently.

Thanks, Mr. President.

FORWARD

College students should come out and vote in great numbers..for Obama of course.

But some Republican-controlled states have passed laws to prevent the young, the poor, and the minorities from voting.

For example, Pennsylvania Photo ID law only accepts photo IDs with expiration dates. But student IDs and veteran IDs have no expiration dates - thus disenfranchised

Since when does it become fashionable again to deprive people of their vote???

Republican - Backwards

Democrats - FORWARD

4 more years.

Mitt's answer to college students is "borrow the money from your parents" "Nuff said. The man is clueless and will never be elected POTUS.

Hedley: Student loans were backed by the fed govt. That means a private lender took NO RISK and still charged 6-8% for admin costs only.

Obama eliminated the middle man and will charge a lower rate than the private lenders. Are you a fiscal conservative or a TPRepub?

Hedley -- I have read and re-read and re-read again your comment but I still have no idea what you were trying to say. Care to elaborate with details?

Never mind. Between the time of your comment and mine, blearyeyed has posted a comment that makes it seem that he knows what you are alluding to. I don't know much about the student loan thing. At my age, I'm more interested in Social Security.

Let's see, 30 year Treasury notes going for less than 3% and the Democrats want to lower the rate for student loans from 6.8% to 3.4%. Republicans have a hussy fit wanting the cut to be paid for. In other words, they could not stand to give up the profit they were making off of student loans. Or do you think it might have had something to do with their promise to oppose everything President Obama proposes. It would be funny, if it weren't so sad.

As far as spider and US Citizen go, they really should convince their Congressional Representatives to pass President Obama's Jobs Act. If that fails, then they can blame him. Until they do, it is their fault.

Remember students Graduation is not that far Away, Vote Romney and Ryan So you can have a chance to get a Job and pay off those Student Loans when you finish school.

Of course, if Romney is elected, you'll have to relocate to Mumbai for that job. But on the bright side, Mitt says the Indian food is quite authentic and the trees are of adequate height.

Obama 2012/Romney 1040

Obama believes the line, "there's a sucker born every minute". He sees the young people as suckers.

Obama needs to get re-elected in order for his plan of destruction to work.

During his first term he carried over & continued with policies from Bush. Obama knows the policies he proposes will be struck down. But that's okay with him because he doesn't care for his proposed policies either. It's all a show.

The true destruction will come in the second term because he knows no one will be able to stop the destruction. Scary but true.

Jo Ann,

Your tin foil sprung a leak. Re-wrap.

Obama 2012/Romney 1040

I have a hard time seeing what "anti business" Obama has done to jobs. One must look at the trajectory of jobs when he took office. It had gone vertical. The economy was much worse than thought. We thought we had a 3 % decline in GDP in the the last two quarters of 08. That was revised to a 9% loss in GDP. In 6 months. We were on the verge of a depression. 2% growth sucks, just not nearly so much as where we were.

People forget 2008. Let's refresh. the Dow was under 8000 when Obama took office, it is now 13000 (up about 40%). The banking industry was nearing collapse, now they are profitable( and still screwing us). GM was going under, now it is viable. Yes, it is partially govt. owned but the jobs are still there, there suppliers are still in business, and it is making better cars. Better GM then Hyundai for the US workers. We are mostly out of Iraq although still stupidly in Afghanistan. Corporate profits are very high and the rich are getting richer. The middle class is struggling as are the poor but business? Where is the patriotism of these businesses making huge profits? The Koch's have worth has gone up by several billions per year for instance yet they feel they need more. You also can't look at the US in a vacuum. China is slowing. Much of Europe is in crisis. Japan has been slow for decades. This is a world economy and when you compare the US to almost all the other countries, we are doing well (although that doesn't mean that all are doing well, just business and the 1% who take more and more of the pie). And for those who complain about the price of gas. Look at gas prices before the economy went south. They were much less but that was because demand was so far down because of the severity of the recession. Obama has been middling but some of that is the Dem congress who screwed him and a lot of that is the Reps. The current VP candidate was involved in a group who on teh day of inauguration during our worst fiscal time in 75 years, decided that winning in 2012 was the most important thing. Remember that when you vote.

Gary Johnson 2012! Gary Johnson will: End the Drug war by Legalizing Cannabis, Support Internet Freedom, Support Gun rights, end the IRS, End the Federal Reserve, End the Fed, Support Abortion.

Vote Libertarian!

The Republicans have a record of Selling Jobs over seas, Abusing their powers, Supporting Internet Censorship, breaking the constitution and Lying about a LOT of things.

The Democrats also have a Record of Selling jobs Over seas, Abusing their Powers, Lying, Taking Benefits away from the Army, Supporting Internet Censorship, Breaking the Constitution.

Barack Obama has:

Attacked Libya without Congressional Approval.

Signed the NDAA Bill into law allowing the Detention and Assassination of Any US Citizen without trial, a Federal Court blocked it in May but Obama is trying to Get that Unblocked.

Raised the National debt over $6 Trillion in His First 3 Years.

Killed HUNDREDS of Innocent people (Excluding the FEW Terrorists) including three American Citizens in Yemen and Pakistan using Drone strikes (Even more Drone strikes than Bush).

Tried to Ban guns with The UN Even though it's unconstitutional and Obama SWORE to Protect the Constitution.

Obama Claims he Supports Freedom of Speech even though he Hired Staff to Censor his YouTube channel.

He claims he Campaigned in 57 States.

George Bush has:

Committed War crimes.

Supported Gun Control even though it's Unconstitutional.

The Patriot Act makes Growing your Own food Illegal, makes all Misdemeanors "Acts of terror", makes it Illegal to have more than 7 Days of food in your home and Many other things like that (Maybe 9/11 was a False Flag, they are greedy people, why not do a False Flag, blame it on al-Quaeda and Take Freedom away from the American people so they can have more Control? Considering the Patriot Act takes a Lot of Freedom Away and Bush was Very Corrupt).

Raised the Hell out of the National Debt.

Can't you guys Admit what your Parties have Done wrong? How greedy and Corrupt they are? Why not be Libertarian?

Just remember students, once the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy run out(like they did under Clinton) the economy will grow ten fold! It won't be long before we again make government smaller and balance the federal budget(like Clinton did before Bush ruined it))......making the republican party just a bad memory from the prehistoric past.....

Obama/Biden 2012

War and debt: Bush built it and Romney will continue it

Obama/Biden 2012 of course. The other choice is stupid

I don't know Adler,

Seems to me that the prospects of accumulating $120,000 in student loans with only the 50% being able to get a job would make kids think twice. Then, when only half of those getting a job gets one in the field they studied.

Yes, and don't forget to vote. Oh, and by the way, if you ever want the opportunity to move out of your parent's basement you better consider voting for Romney/Ryan.

1) Do you know that Obama is going to be the ONLY president in history that will have ended his term with LESS people working than when he took office?

2) Do you know that 50% of recent college graduates can't find a job in their major?

3) Do you know that when Obama took office the unemployment rate was 7.8% and AFTER Obama borrowed nearly 6 TRILLION dollars the unemployment rate is STILL 8.3% and RISING?

4) Do you know that if we wanted to pay off the National Debt today EACH taxpayer would have to write a check for over $140,000?? I guess it IS a good thing there is no chance for you to get a job after you graduate because you don't want to be a taxpayer now anyway!!

5) Do you know that the last quarter GDP was 1.7% when the long-term average is 3.3%?

Not quite the Hope and Change initially promised and I think that actually meant "I Hope I can find some Change in the sofa because that is all I have left".

Since you are college students all I hope you do is some research on your own. Don't listen to MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, or even Fox News. You are in college and supposed to have the ability to do research on your own. Go to government sites like Bureau of Labor Statistics, Department of Labor, Department of Commerce, and Bureau of Economic Analysis.

When you hear a politician say something that just seems "hard to believe" (like "Republicans want to take away Medicare from Seniors" or "Republicans hate women") don't let them play you for fools. When the Democrat party has to tell you why NOT to vote for Republicans rather than why you SHOULD vote for Obama doesn't that just make you wonder? When Democrats basically tells you "Obama sucks but Romney sucks more" doesn't that just make you wonder WHY they are not telling the reasons to vote FOR Obama? Could it be because the Obama record is a complete failure? The economy getting worse day by day? You are destined to live at your parent's house for years because Obama is damaging this economy?

Don't take my word for it and don't take the others speaking negatively (and will be attacking my comments later). You are college students. You are our future entrepreneurs. You are the ones that will decide whether this country grows as a nation or goes into decline. Be smart enough to do your own research. Be smart enough to develop your own opinion.

Dabouv

I have a hard time seeing what "anti business" Obama has done to jobs.

Anything that raises the cost of their product even further above what imports costs without improving the product is the enemy of business AND the enemy of jobs.

American companies have a hard enough time competing for market share with their competitors when even in our own country despite the huge costs to ship to our country their products cost less. When we try to sell to another country we add the cost of shipping and heavy import duties to send to other countries, they would be idiots to even consider our products or extremely wealthy.

This is why Ford, GM, Chrysler, Apple, GE and many others build plants overseas. We higher waged, higher benefited, Higher taxed, and greater regulated our way out of millions of jobs. And as these continue to climb until at some point places like Apple and GE will cut the production in America in favor of their lower cost production over seas.

Balance is the key to meaningful prosperity. We are far too Regulated and the installation of the ACA may cause irrepairable damage, because once the jobs leave, they rarely come back in significant numbers.

Pro Business

With 2 kids in college, I am happy congress passed legislation to maintin the rates set in the College Cost Reduction and Access Act passed during the Bush administartion. However, Mr Obama's interest in student loans this summer was purely political and an election year play. When the College Cost Reduction and Access Act was passed to reduced studen loan rates, then Senator Obama did not vote the 2 times that bill came up in the Senate.

Obama is a wolf in sheep's clothing. The media is afraid of him, Obama is never challenged with tough questions. Very few people know the true Obama. Biden certainly doesn't and the same thing can be said about Michelle not knowing the true Obama.

The true Obama will come out if he gets re-elected.

You really think Obama cares for illegal immigrants? No way. You really think Obama cares for gays? No way. This has nothing to do with votes either.

Open your eyes and read between the lines.

The interest rate reduction pushed by Obama only covers low income students/families - the subsidized loans. All of the unsubsidized loans are still in the 6 - 7% range.

A few more mirrors for Obama

I WANT TO GET RE-ELECTED"

*If any other of our presidents had criticized a state law that he admitted he never even read, would you think that he is just an ignorant hothead? *

*If any other of our presidents joined the country of Mexico and sued a state in the United States to force that state to continue to allow illegal immigration, would you question his patriotism and wonder whose side he was on? *

*If any other of our presidents had pronounced the Marine Corps like Marine Corpse, would you think him an idiot? *

*If any other of our presidents had put 87,000 workers out of work by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling on companies that have one of the best safety records of any industry because one foreign company had an accident, would you have agreed? *

*If any other of our presidents had used a forged document as the basis of the moratorium that would render 87000 American workers unemployed would you support him? *

*If any other of our presidents had been the first President to need a Teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes? *

*If any other of our presidents had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take his First Lady to a play in NYC, would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had reduced your retirement plan holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought it a proud moment for America ? *

*If any other of our presidents had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had visited Austria and made reference to the nonexistent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip? *

*If any other of our presidents had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had stated that there were 57 states in the United States, wouldn't you have had second thoughts about his capabilities? *

*If any other of our presidents would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him walking out his front door in his home town, would you not have thought he was a self-important, conceited, egotistical jerk?*

*If any other of our presidents had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, wouldn't you have winced in embarrassment? *

*If any other of our presidents had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?*

*If any other of our presidents' administrations had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on

9-11? *

*If any other of our presidents had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence? *

*If any other of our presidents had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate
on much of what is happening in America, would you have ever approved? *

*If any other of our presidents had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved? *

*So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? *

*Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 34 months so you don't have that much time to come up with an answer.*

*Every statement and action in this email is factual and directly attributable to Barack Hussein Obama. Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable. *

AND NOW-- HE ACTUALLY WANTS US TO RE-ELECT HIM!

WAKE UP AMERICA 2012 IS UPON US!

Please forward this to someone. I CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE A CHANCE ON THIS GUY FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS . . .

*"All it takes for evil to triumph is...........for good people to do nothing."*

Yes, students, if you want to REDUCE your chance of having a job for four more years, by all means, vote for Obama. 8%+ unemployment for a record 40+ months should tell you something!!

People in all states should be telling themselves this:

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice, shame on me.

--- Obama fooled us, big-time, with all his lies. Best example: He was to reduce the debt by $5 trillion, down from $10 trillion. Instead, he INCREASED IT ALMOST $6 TRILLON, up to $16 trillion!!

Don't be a fool.

Yes, college students, vote for Barrack Hussein!

And when you graduate with that diploma in hand, go get a good paying good benefit job.

I DARE YA!

Good luck with that American wet dream. Pick and choose which job you can get.

Let's see, there's retail, stocking shelves at WalMart. If you don't like that you can get a job in hospitality cleaning dirty motel rooms. If you're in no hurry to get your career going and repay your massive student loans just take a temp job for a few years, I'm sure that will help. These are the jobs being created by Barrack Husseins massive $863 billion waste of money. At least he and his “Jobs Czar”, Jeff Immelt, confessed that “shovel ready jobs” were a lie.

This is what you have to look forward to with the Barrack Hussein "Recovery Summers", his "green shoots", his "focusing like a laser" on jobs and the economy.

Now, you may think this is something temporary. You may just think Barrack Hussein will unleash his incredible ability to restore our once envied wealth, prosperity and standard of living in his second term.

Don't hold your breath.

Barrack Hussein has done NOTHING to improve your chances of getting a good paying secure long term job. He has sprinkled Bread and Circuses on your hopes and dreams and failed in the most important areas of our economy. Why do you think they added the provision that you can stay on your parents insurance until you're 26? They know there will be no jobs, real jobs, for years.

As students, you know that you need to have a budget to manage your own finances. This president doesn't. How can the largest service corporation in history, our government, believe it can be run efficiently and affordably without a blueprint, a budget? It can't, and it shows.

Appropriately the economy will surpass an important milestone during the Democratic National Convention. Our, and more importantly your, National Debt will exceed $16 trillion. More ominously our Unfunded Liabilities are over $120 trillion. All the wealth in the world can’t repay this massive debt. Don’t let this fool you. This is the amount of money needed to ensure you that you will enjoy the benefits of your mandated contributions to our entitlements. If you look at these numbers and still don’t realize they are unsustainable you need to demand a refund from your college or university. They have not been honest with you.

No effort has been put forth to correct our trade agreements that are anything but free. NAFTA and the WTO are stealing your ability to be competitive as they try to manage trade rather than keep it fair. You deserve fair and open markets in a world with over 7 billion people, our current systems deny you that.

Our criminal progressive tax system needs to be eliminated and replaced with a simple Flat Tax or Fair Tax so you can manage your own money rather than it being redistributed to who knows where, here and abroad, by an incompetent government. You will work for more than 40 years during your career, you should decide how, where and when you will spend and invest YOUR OWN MONEY!

Regulations need to be reined in. Don't fall for the childish claims that Republicans want dirty air, dirty water and nuclear waste in your bedroom. They don't. But they do want you to be able to expand your careers by unleashing your entrepreneurial skills to create a business and the commerce we need so badly to restore our economy to prosperity. You have a whole life to be whatever you want to be, you should have an easy way to advance your careers without some bloated bureaucracy standing in your way to take more money and control from you and your goals.

Don't fall for the lies from the unions that they want to help you. They are one of the main culprits why many of our industries have fled our shores and been outsourced. They are the ones who brought the US auto industry to its knees. In the case of Chrysler, twice. Unions had their place at the turn of the century before any of your grandparents were even born. Today we have a massive Department of Labor, OSHA, EEOC, Minimum Wage Standards and other systems in place to maintain safe and effective workplaces. Unions need to be more industry supportive rather than divisive. They need to work with industries to provide a fair wage and if possible benefits that are sustainable. For too long the unions have negotiated irresponsible contracts and then walked away from the table and watched as their demands crushed industries and cities with massive pension and legacy obligations that they were not responsible for. Just look at the $4 trillion in unfunded state pensions that are crippling cities across the nation, this is irresponsible.

We need an energy policy that is truly "all the above". We are the richest resource nation in the world and we are paying over $4/gallon for gas. This is stripping you, and all Americans, of vital capital that you could be investing in your career, a new business or into your retirement portfolios. We should be exploiting our coal, gas, shale-gas, oil, shale-oil and nuclear capabilities to be creating jobs that will be based on exports so we can create the new revenue we need to pay off our massive debts that will cripple your future ability to compete in the global market. Subsidies need to be eliminated to all sectors and you new graduates can then truly create commerce in a real free-market.

Your future is what we as a nation need to insure will be as prosperous as possible.

Yes, you can become rich. The demagoguery and class-warfare meme being spewed by our president and Liberals/Progressives is the biggest insult to your future. Nobody grows up hoping to be poor or even middle class. We all grow up wanting to be rich. America offers you equal opportunity to succeed IF you're willing to pursue it with hard work and common sense. What America DOES NOT insure you of is equal outcomes. It shouldn't. Not everyone has the ability to be rich, but you do have a chance, in a truly free-market economy to attain any level of prosperity possible. This is what the American Dream allows you.

Government has become an obstacle to your dreams rather than a ally. Your skills and education will be held hostage by a massive bureaucracy that is just concerned with taking more and more of your hard earned money and liberties. They will take it under the guise of “helping” those who need it. Just remember, we had a poverty rate of 14% in 1965, since then we have spent over $17 trillion on the “war on poverty”, today the poverty rate is 14.3% (15.1% including the recession). Government is NOT the solution, it IS the problem.

As you watch the circus known as the Democratic National Convention this week, listen closely to their solutions. They will be the same Progressive and Keynesian promises that have created the mess we are in today. The usual senseless borrow and spend for infrastructure will be parroted. You can’t export roads and bridges. The promises to spend more on education will be made. We already spend more than any nation on education, other than Sweden, and we still graduate high school seniors who read at an 8^th grade level. You realize, more than anyone as students, how much your diploma has cost you and your parents. It will take you years to pay it off and start benefitting from your education.

We need to restore our economy to a balance between service and exportable manufacturing. This convoluted consumption/service economy we have devolved into has never created the wealth, prosperity and standard of living we are accustomed to. You deserve better. You deserve the ability to pursue the American Dream as you desire, not by what some bureaucrat in Washington allows you.

Vote wisely this November. Your, and our great Republics, future depends on it.

ROMNEY/RYAN 2012 for real Americans

Pigotry

The President helped secure low interest college loan rates for college students very recently.

Thanks, Mr. President.

FORWARD

Thanks Mr. President. 53% of recent college grads are unemployed or working in non-college degreed positions. Attaboy!! 4 more years of misery.

The most important thing in this election is getting everyone out to vote... If you think your vote doesn't count just remember Florida and Gore/Bush...

www.gottavote.org

Everyone, if you haven't registered or know someone else who hasn't registered, click on the link above and get registered...

Wow! If Republicans couldn't lie they would have absolutely NOTHING to say. When you have to lie to support your lousy candidates - Romney/Ryan - what does that say about the candidates and what does it say about you for backing them? I guess lying is the new word for the GOP!

Obama/Biden 2012

SeekingSanity: When a person makes a generic comment like "If Republican's couldn't lie....." but then does not go through the "difficult task" of giving even ONE example - then it confirms for everyone you are simply looking for a diversion. When the Democrats can't give a reason to vote FOR Obama and looking for any reason to tell people to vote AGAINST Romney instead - then this is going to be an easy and great election.

Oh BTW Joe Biden spoke over the weekend in Detroit and although he is always great for a gaffe he really did it justice this time - he said "Folks, let me make something clear and say it to the press: America is better off today than they left us when they left" and then went on to say "If it weren't so hot - if it weren't so hot, I'd go into detail". CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT!! The vice-president says we are better off but it is too hot for him to tell you why?!?!?

I don't know if that is hilarious, surprising, or just flat out disappointing.......

BTW, have you heard about the new Democrat slogan: "You are better off, you just don't know it yet".

All other things aside, as a Christian I had no choice but to leave the democratic party, I will not be associated with a party that openly advocates and condone's the murdering of babies and the destruction of the nuclea family by upholding the degenerate homosexual life. As a Christian I tell you now if you continue to affiliate yourself with this party you will bring down God's judgement on you. You cannot call yourself a Christian and go against God's word. If you do then you are a liar and a heartless degenerate human being whom God will turn over to a reprobate mind, which is to say over to satan to do with you as he will. I am not one hundred percent agreeable with the republican party but at least they do not shout the blasphame concerning these two grevious sins. I am now a independent and my vote will go for Romney.

Obama's goal is to have out-of-state students in swing states change their registration to the states where they go to college to influence the will of the people that are permanent residents in those states (such as Colorado).

Sure is funny that Obama has to go in front of college students to try to beg them to vote for him. Obama worship among college students is way down... I can understand Obama begging for votes... since the typical college student sees right through Obama... Maybe if employment opportunities were better after they graduate... or maybe if they didn't have to move back in with mom and dad... Obama might get more interest... The fraud in chief is not the hope and change guy any more... no hope and plenty of change Americans don't want.

Obama worship among college students is way down...

And your source is ............what? I'll wait.

But recent polls show young voters losing excitement at the prospect of voting at all in 2012, let alone showing up for Obama in as large numbers as they did last election.

As First Read's article indicates, young voter enthusiasm has waned.

Related, students are paying less attention to the 2012 presidential campaign (66% a lot of some attention) than they did in either 2008 (82%) or 2004 (76%). And college students are less likely to be active currently in a presidential campaign than they were at this time in 2008 (7% compared with 16%) http://www.panettainstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/Hart-2012-complete-report.pdf

82% of students were at least paying attention to the 2008 election. Now 66% are. Since the majority of students supported President Obama in 2008, it's reasonable to conclude the numbers of students worshipping the President is way down this time around.

Brianb, unlike you, college students know that Congress holds the purse strings. A President can only suggest, once the House and Senate pass his suggestions, then he can be blamed for the outcome. Short of that, the blame falls with Congress. Didn't the current Congress campaign on the promise of creating jobs. Perhaps you can explain in detail what they have done to create them. Do you really believe college students are going to fall for your paid comments?

Bush buried us in debt Obama buried bin Laden

Obama/Biden 2012. The other choice is failure

Tony,

If your reading base was really broad, you would know that Obama's 70% support from the youth in 2008 has dropped to 49%. Right now Romney has 41% the rest are undecided or other.

It's a Zogby Poll. Zogby has been doing most of his work for Demcrats for the past 4 - 5 years.

What are they voting for.....more of the same? No job prospect, living in Mom and Dad's basement, food stamps, loss of personal freedom, and attachment to the government breast at feeding time. More of that???

SMACK----thank you sir, can I have another!

brutaltruth - and the cause for all that misery lies directly on the Republicans in Congress! We'll be voting as many of them out in November as possible!

Brianb - nothing but lies - as usual!

Obama/Biden 2012

Spoken like a self imposed proletariat who thinks himself informed yet can't look around at the devastation imposed by this man and his vote rigging dishonesty.

Paper or plastic? Fries?

An uninformed voter is a dangerous mass of people who hitch their buggy to apathy thanking big brother for everything.

It's Labor day----the government is closed.....how do we survive?

If Obama is part of the cognoscenti where is the writing's, college transcripts, and final thesis of the great teleprompter? Where are they O enlightened one?

Lemmings for Obama.

The liberals are so smart and intellectually superior. I guess that's why the government is $16 trillion in debt.

Good post Frank, my parents instilled in me the value of voting, but at the time one had to be 21 for that right of passage, whoo hoo those days are long gone.

Frank super post I have not missed in over 40 years. I will not miss this one. ☺

Obama/Biden 2012

My parents told me that if I didn't vote I didn't have a right to complain about the outcome. They were right!

JFK was the first president I voted for. The years have gone fast, and who knows this might be my last.

Obama/Biden 2012

Only your last if Obamacare stays and your health care is rationed.

JFK was NOTHING like this man. How about those sweeping tax cuts he enacted? Solid stance against communism? This isn't the party of JFK-----this is what JFK was fighting against.

Your blind.

slightlyold - if this is possibly your last vote, please don't throw it away on Obama. The guy is as worthless as it gets

God forbid you need a procedure requiring any medical attention at all after Obamacare kicks in. It will probably be your last election in that case.

U R wrong!

Ohh Pigotry - Eye can argure jest as gud as U: No U R rong!

Pigotry

U R wrong!

Proclaiming Kannin wrong, doesn't change the reality. Neither will selecting "no Value" or "ignore Author" make it go away.

Student support IS down significantly.

A political parody song written by Bruce-1628250, to the tune of "If You're Happy And You Know It"

• Vote Obama!

• If you're votin' for Obama
• Clap Your Hands!

• If you're votin' for Obama
• Clap Your Hands!

• You don't want to vote for Mitt
• Cuz he really is a Twit

• If you're votin' for Obama
• Clap Your Hands!

BRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrr-----there goes another one----Obama Drone.

Clap your hands------and Mitt is a twit.......look in the mirror meat head!

At least Obama outgrew his youthful craziness. One can't say the same for his predecessor. Lil' Georgie, the frat boy, seemed to keep some of his special college friends of Johnny Walker, Old Granddad, and Jim Beam.

Well, knowing that Adler, I guess you won't be voting for Bush this election. Am I right?

kannin,

You don't think Paul Ryan has done or continues to do his share of pot?

I seem to recall in his acceptance speech the utterance "My IPOD playlist begins with AC/DC and ends with Led Zeppelin."

Enough of your glass house mentality.

ummmmm-----I listen to jazz like Frank Marshall Davis yet I am not a communist, nor smoke dope. I hate rap yet don't hate black people and am not racist. Country music sucks, yet I don't think everyone who listens to it is a red neck. I like death metal, speed metal, gore/grind yet have no tattoos or piercings and am a christian. I like NEWAGE accoustic percussive guitar yet don't do yoga and love meat. I am also conservative. Your points are not points at all, they are just plain odd. Almost as odd as my tastes in music.

Drone on obamadrone------drone on.

Correct (something Obama HAS NOT delivered).

I'd say that was a Freudian slip

I'd say that was pure sarcasm. Good job sfcret

sfcret,

You're nuts if you think that college students aren't focused on student loan rates. They worry about the financing of their education every single day; they worry about the job forecast in their senior year.

They worry about the financing of their education every single day;

I was a college student. No, they don't worry about financing the cost of their education everyday. I never worried one minute when I got may student loans, when I had to pay without any loans, then I worried a good bit. Most only worry about paying for financing when they are close to graduating or after graduating.

with a bach of science I can guarantee you it's

1. jobs

2. jobs

and 3. jobs

no job, no pay-----the folks basement is kinda chilly in the winter. Brrrrrr.

dumb, lol

Affinity1 - a liberal without a point!

Brian, not our fault you have trouble understanding.

slightlyold - Brianb is a right winger without a brain - just like all the rest! His comprehension skills are nonexistent!

Obama/Biden 2012

Candice: I agree with your point of studying hard and achieving a degree, but, how does voter registration and voting equal not achieving those goals. I think encouraging a sacred part of the constitution and bill of rights, a part of the freedoms that republicans claim we go to war and promote in other countries is something to be proud of, not rebuke as in mixed up priorities.

Republicans don't have any problem with the military promoting and recruiting at universities...promoting helping students pay for their education...so why is there a problem with the president encouraging students to use their freedom, the right to vote, not a priority.

@Candice - So they can't enjoy the last time that they can use an educational environment to socialize, enjoy life, and be happy? They must study, study, study so they can become the slaves of the workforce, who have no right to complain as they build the latest and greatest nuclear warhead that will obliterate Iran the Infidelious Dictatorstate, Russia the Brutal Ignoramustate, and China the Conniving Burglarstate?

Get real - happiness is one half of why people don't croak so early. Most of the controversial suicides that happened were from an overload of fear, anxiety, and profound sadness. Happiness helps workers not beat their boss over the head with a two-by-four. Happiness, which fun creates, is responsible for creating the overall wellness of a nation.

To say that nobody can have fun, even children, goes to show you are a war-mongering, apocalypse-crying, bible-thumping, misogynist Republican that really doesn't know why life has thrived as much as it has and only seeks the success of you, you, and only you. Everyone else can go to hell, right?

Fun creates happiness. Happiness creates a desire to work and vote. Without happiness, the fires of chaos consume the world. Without happiness, Jesus will kill us all, you and me included.

Continually, Gallup surveys show that republicans are happier.

Crimsoncujo is destined to have a future with a sign about nukes in front of a Dairy Queen.

Your off kilter----maybe we wouldn't worry about nukes from China if Clinton hadn't given them of ICBM tech or Obama the launch sites of the nukes in the UK to Russia.

How can you see to type such horse hockey with your head that far up your posterior.

War mongering----you mean like attacking Libya without congressional consent and doing nothing about the ivory coast? Syria? Iran?

The government is closed today----how do you survive?

Met00999.....................That was before he met a brick wall in the form of a do nothing Congress. The Republicans determined the night of the day he was inaugurated, they were going to do whatever it took to make him as least successful as possible. At no time did he have a 60 majority in the Senate to prevent a filibuster. He has proposed legislation for much of what he promised and many of those promises have been kept with little or no thanks to the GOP. The debt run up by the Bush administration for two wars and Medicare part D that they put on a credit card has contributed largely to the deficit, a fact that the GOP blithely ignores

Before you post of laundry list of lies and twisted half truths, which you no doubt received in a right wing email or some such diatribe, you should do some rudimentary research or simple fact checking.....that is if you are interested in finding out the real story and not accept someone else's interpretation or had you already made up your mind you wouldn't vote for President Obama?

Hey now! It's MEtoo999 Blog Louse Of The Year!!!

Can I have your autograph?!!

He had congress in his pocket for 2 years straight and fixed NOTHING on his "this can't wait" list. WE put the republicans in there as a stop loss-----they have done what we asked. Stop the bleeding.

Now if the imperial president can stop with the mandates and ignoring the laws he does not like and or the states he does not like we can move forward WITHOUT the communist history of said slogan and vote this fool out of office.

brutaltruth - liar!!! He had a filibuster proof congress for 7 short months - during which time Ted Kennedy was ill and didn't vote and there were numerous recesses. So, he had a filibuster proof congress for about 4 months.

After that, the Republicans used the filibuster more than it had EVER been used in history!

LIAR!!!!

Obama/Biden 2012

I'd say that it is the Romney/Ryan way....cut student loans, and increase the interest rate...increase taxes on the middle class..and take away health care for them, and what exactly, specifically are Romney/Ryan going to do to bring all these jobs to America??? Funny, I don't recall specifics being discussed at the convention.

Stereotypes. Chuck 'em out and think for yourself, lest your brain devolve further, rat.

Though I agree - people who don't want change won't work for it. However, change doesn't need to be purchased with blood or gunpowder. Just the desire and acting on said desire.

"Words are but knives to my mind; actions are a spear to the heart that crushes even the strongest of fools."

Most poetry sucks by the way. Just like socialism.

Does the wax from the candles at your altar to THE ONE ever burn your little bitty fingies? Commy get a boo-boo? No job outside of academia? Awww. Libby professor make it aw right.....here, read some manifesto and feel better.

I can see it now......the pasty moron vote. Looks like you got it nailed!

Malthus,

Sorry, but that film is nowhere near being #1. Nice try, but two thumbs down....to the film and your BS.

NewMalthus - only the ignorant far right are going to see it. They wouldn't have voted for him anyway - not a brain in their heads!

Obama/Biden 2012

Masonry? Funny - that would put him up with fools like Aleister Crowley and (dare I say this) Herr Fuhrer and Mussolini.

But that makes no sense, since Obama's black. And Freemasons only accept white people.

Besides, I'd trust a Scot any day over a lying snake like you.

"But that makes no sense, since Obama's black. And Freemasons only accept white people."

Right. So Prince Hall Freemasonry is was just a myth also?

But they haven't publicly endorsed him. What's more, I think people aren't really caring about religion, since they realize this nation doesn't only belong to you followers of Jesus (or should I say Joseph Smith? After all, that IS Romney's God).

For me, religion exists as a hope. It's not something I live my life for and swear to obey.

The Bible is but one tome of historical text - I don't follow it to the letter, and nobody else condemns me for not having done so.

Like you, I fight when my rights are attacked. But I fight with words and peaceful action first, before I whip out the ol' Worskenhauser shotgun that the South seems to love so much.

If, and when the Freemasons actually bother with politics, I'll listen to what you have to say. But since there's been zero word on Obama collaborating with ANY sort of Freemason group, I'm gonna call you a lying snake as such.

P.S. Oh, and one last thing. The Scottish are white, and even they'd pick Obama over Romney. Everyone hates bull@!$%# lies, got it?

You are clueless about Masonry. The Scottish Rite has nothing to do with the race of the members. You really believe members of the Scottish Rite are all Scottish? It came into being in South Carolina in the early 1800'a under a council of eleven.

Most of what you'll hear about Masonry will be from low level initiates.
Albert Pike says:
""The Blue Degrees are but the outer court or portico of the Temple. Part of the symbols are displayed there to the Initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It is not intended that he shall understand them; but it is intended that he shall imagine he understands them. Their true explication is reserved for the Adepts, the Princes of Masonry." (Morals and Dogma, p.819)"

Obviously, if they lie to their new initiates, they're going to lie to the general public.

Read The Secret Destiny of America by Manly P Hall, as well as Albert Pike's writings such as Morals and Dogma.

Many of the secrets of Masonry have been spilled

Wasn't George Washington a freemason?

SeaBa - as someone whose father was a Mason - you're full of it! Total stupidity. Where do you people come up with such idiocy? My guess is your parents dropped you on your head - frequently - as a baby!

Obama/Biden 2012

SeekingSanity

My grandfather was a mason too. Was your grandfather a higher rank or of higher importance than Albert Pike or Manly P Hall? They say otherwise. Low levels are kept from the highest secrets. And there are varying levels of lodges. Of course your average community lodge is not the same as say, a Royal Arch Lodge. All I'm asking is that you read the material that is out there from high ranking Masons from centuries past. I used to be ignorant to it to, just like you!

slightlyold

Yes, George Washington was a freemason. The founding of the US was consecrated in a Masonic ritual. The same year of the founding of the Bavarian Illuminati. There are paintings of George Washington in full Masonic garb.

My point is that the US is a Masonic nation since its inception. It's had a secret destiny and motives since the beginning. Ignorance from people like SeekingSanity does not negate the writings such as the Secret Destiny of America by Manly P Hall. You can pretend those writings do not exist as much as you can stick your head in the sand.

The US was never a Christian nation. It was never an Athiest nation. It is a Masonic nation, since the beginning. All gods are One.

Research it.

And I'll repeat, I'm against both Romney AND Obama. Romney is just as bad or worse than Obama. Beating the war drums towards world domination. Masking it all in 'humanitarian aid' labeling.

More Polictical grand standing and policies created to sway votes NOT to perform effect governing.

This is what is wrong with the current and many administrations Smoke and Mirrors. Don't drink the punch.

The Federal government subsidizing Schools is causing the cost of schools to skyrocket.

Insurance is the same way Health insurance just causes the costs of health care to sky rocket.

Bad policies and governing - Just BS get the vote worry about the fall out later.

This BEFORE the Democrat National Convention.

You think the big fiction show is going to change something?

LettuceReason,

Well, duh! Of course the convention will give Obama/Biden a boost. Conventions ALWAYS provide boosts, but generally MORE than what Romney/Ryan received.

Add that boost to a growing lead and Romney/Ryan are in trouble.

In fact, the ONLY thing that can derail Obama will be poor job numbers in September, even IF Romney floods the airwaves with hate through October.

reterry, your a loser, quoting George Carlin is so funny. Because he got rich working for big business. If you were not such a loser you could too. LOL

That's the best you've got? So, obviously Carlin observed the "big business" behavior which was the butt of his quip. Are you structurally incapable of understanding plain English, or just happy as a little bird in your rightie pile o'sh!t?

Vote Romney and die in a hospital with the lowest bidder. Oh and have a tax cheat and Mexican national as President. Oh and a mormon who hate the bibel.

Obama/Biden 2012 unless you are and idiot like this guy

Romney is a failure

backfire,

Call it a night. You just can't catch a break from yourself.
