Who would vote for Obama today?

[crustyme]

Dumbest shit ever posted. You go to a private financial institution and get your ass a student loan at the market rate instead of a taxpayer subsidized rate. Then you pay the loan back or get wages garnished instead of getting hardship extension after hardship extension from the government in order to screw the taxpayer out of money.

they're not even lending to people with jobs and good credit but they'll lend $40k to students with no jobs, no credit and no guaranteed employment once they graduate.

you are as nutty as ron paul.

[pavyracer]

No government student loans =/= no student loans

I don't think you understood what I said. Right now the US imports engineers and doctors from overseas to design structures, cars etc and 3/4 of doctors are not born in the US hospitals. So if it gets harder for US citizens to afford college education how do you plan to fill these jobs with US citizens when right now even with government loans at very affordable rates you are somewhere between 50-75% filled with foreigners?

No one is going to apply for a private loan at 20% interest to become an engineer or doctor.

[rsnnh12]

I like the fact that Paul is at least trying to change our obviously broken system. I don't know who I support yet because quite frankly, none of the options on either side look that great. I'm sick of almost all politicians.

Care to tell everyone again how the dot com boom and bust had no significance to the economy?

Edit- I've already explained that the FBI investigated the surveillance of NYC tip, and that it turned out to be 2 Yemeni tourists, so why do you keep saying that is relevant? Bush was obviously told that it checked out, so how was 2 tourists taking pictures a sign of what was to come?

Weird. Crusty never comes back to respond when I mention his brilliant "dot com boom and bust had no effect on the economy" comments

[BettingWizard]

compare economy numbers between when Reagan took over after Carter, and Obama after Bush.

Obama owns Reagan

[illfuuptn]

Didn't vote for him to begin with and would never vote for anyone that's not a Republican.

The world would be better off if people like you were killed.

You aren't one of those educated Democrats you talked about earlier, are you?

[rkelly110]

I'm a Dem. Didn't vote for change, though I wanted it. A community organizer sure as hell
ain't gonna change how the govt works. I voted independent.

I don't know why his rating is so low, he has been continuing with Bush's agenda, a Rep's dream.

Don't like the incumbent or the Rep candidates to date. Will likely sit this one out.

If the electoral college is pissed at Obama, he's gone.

[SBR_John]

I gave him a chance. Thought he was smarter. I want to see what the right can do now. Sounds like they will win big and start cutting.

The US is not under taxed. I dont want to see taxes raised on anyone. Balance the budget with spending cuts.

[BookiesBernanke]

Its a complete media fabrication that the country is divided

Most people want the same things - a job, basic affordability, good schools, and the opportunity to work harder to get ahead

The illegal immigrants that abuse the system mostly do so because they were encouraged to do so by govt policies aimed at creating a divisive race war

The main division in America has nothing to do with politics - its economic/ financial status - Elite and everyone else

The elite have taken 9-11 and turned it into a fear mongering event that has allowed them to do a money/ power grab while everyone else sits around and argues about "terrorists" "red/ blue" "homeland security" and "american idol"

There is NO mainstream candidate that represents everyone else - Its elite versus elite versus elite

So pick your poison because in the end they are all following the same blue print

Keep the elite rich and powerful and keep everyone else "divided" through media frabrication and illusion

Divide and Conquer Bitches

raising taxes pays off the debt

[rocky502]

Please keep in mind that Obama captured 95 percent of the black vote. Better than half of blacks can't even graduate from high school. Not all democrats are as brilliant as you would like to believe.

Loser post of the decade. Congrats. Ban this fuk.

[Dutch]

We are indeed a polarized society. I have often contemplated writing an article called the Divided States of America and build the article around breaking the country in two with the lefties to move east of the Misssissippi and the righties to the west (yes, all the libs form Cali would have to move to Vermont).

I think we're so far apart on so much, that Congressional gridlock has simply becometoo paralyzing a force for any progress to be made.

All we see and hear is from the far right and far left. It makes for good tv and it makes the U.S. seem divided. But I think a majority of Americans are middle of the road types. And honestly, the majority of Americans probably don't give a shit about politics.

Once they're elected, most politicians seem about the same to me.

This all sounds about right.

[agharah1]

I've noticed a recurring theme: everyone just knows that everybody would see things their way if only they knew the truth.

The difference is Democrats think people who know and still don't agree are idiots while the Republicans think people who know and still don't agree don't belong in their country.

[Cougar Bait]

Answer: only someone who expects the government to pay for their lack of ambition.

Or a moron. Morons might also vote for him. He's hip.

[TexansFan]

Welfare queens, crackheads, blacks, most CEO's, and complete idiots.

[Tech N9ne]

Yes we can

Yes we will

Obama/Biden 2012

Don't let the Republicans take our country to shit again. More tax cuts for rich, Medicare/medicade cuts, more wars, more gambling enforcement, more big breaks for oil companies more terrorist attacks..... Do not let that happen.

[Cougar Bait]

Don't let the Republicans take our country to shit again.

Obama already did that. Shit is WAAAY worse than it was from 2000-2007. You must not have a job, or don't look at unemployment numbers.

[Swinging Johnson]

Are you a hypocrite every day of your life?

Fact - Democrats voted to extend the Bush tax cuts last year.

Fact - when was the last time anybody in Congress cut Medicare/Medicaid? Never. Republicans increased that ponzi scheme with the prescription drug benefits.

Fact - Democrats haven't stopped the wars and Obama has started even more offensive action around the world.

Fact - Democrats could have repealed the IUEGA legislation but didn't. Eric Holder has prosecuted more for gambling than the Bush administration ever did.

Fact - Democrats could have ended the subsidies to big oil companies but conveniently did not.

Doesn't seem like much change you can believe in if you ask me.

[NYSportsGuy210]

Didn't vote for him to begin with and would never vote for anyone that's not a Republican.

Go play in an oven.

[Grits n' Gravy]

Every time Perry talks he makes Obama smile. The guy just can't keep from saying dumb shit.

[rsnnh12]

Go play in an oven.

Would you ever vote Republican?

[DwightShrute]

can't wait for Obama's "JOBS BILL" in September. Didn't he say that was the #1 priority back in 2008, 2009, 2010 and several times in 2011?

Ok, why harp on the past? If he can present a jobs bill that entices new business in the US and reduces the size of government by at least a third, he could salvage his presidency. I doubt that his ego will allow him to do that however.

[eidolon]

I don't understand ppl that will never vote for the other party.
Ppl always vote dems or only vote repub.

Both parties have screwed everything up.

Try listening to what the individuals are saying. And please don't watch the news and how they reword/twist everything up. Use your own fking brain.

[nasaki]

The republican party's reaction to his election has been an American disaster. They never were interested in

solving America's problems, despite Obama earnestly and sincerely saying from day one that it would take all

of us to work out of this. Republicans instead said, earnestly, "we will NOT support ANYTHING this

president proposes" and proceeded to work tirelessly to get their teabaggerish rants on the evening news;

calling the president, Marxist, socialist, and worse. By the time one of them yelled out at the

President of The United States in one of the hallowed chambers, "YOU LIE!!!," it was pretty obvious

to America that republicans had decided governmental dysfunction and chaos was their main goal.

They have continued to live up to that goal to this very day

Do you prefer CNN or MSNBC?

[DwightShrute]

it has been. He has doubled the debt in least than 3 years and unemployment is way up. How is that no a disaster?

They should make that patriotic person Speaker of the House

Screaming while your president is speaking is patriotic?? he's a piece of shit, just like the Canadian that agrees with those actions.

[DwightShrute]

if you find it acceptable that the President blatantly Lies to congress and the American people, then fine. I find it unacceptable.
