Obama targets college message to Pa.
The Independent ^ | 8/23/13 | Marc Levy

Posted on 08/23/2013 10:01:12 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

... Obama will visit Pennsylvania for the first time in more than a year as he brings his plan for college affordability to Scranton, a city that's friendly to the Democrat.

The Friday evening visit to Lackawanna College is also Obama's first to Pennsylvania since he won the state on his way to a second term.

Obama will appear with two Scranton natives, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey and Vice President Joe Biden, as he delivers his message to one of the nation's biggest college states. If Obama is trying to apply pressure to Republicans ahead of the September debate with Congress over the budget, he's come to a good place: Pennsylvania's congressional delegation is heavily Republican, 14-6, in a state where registered Democratic voters outnumber Republicans.

The Clown's handlers shove their little charge in front of college kids as the school year begins....and not a single college student to be found is displeased with their job prospects. Not one.

I have a friend with access to a satellite dish....saw the group he has been sent to today in Pennsylvania....looks like the biggest group of lapdogs ever. Overwhelmingly white, too, by the way....just to prove the Dear Reader isn't a racist.

Obama and Holder are publicly speaking about their ‘plan of the week’ that are just more smokescreen distractions to divert attention away from the incompetent manner Obama has handled his day job.

The best indicator of a PHONY ADMINISTRATION is the number of its REAL SCANDALS.

Commie Tyrant Obama’s current talking points are thus smokescreen distractions for the products of Obama’s first 4 years in office:
* Refusal to close US Southern Border to Mexican illegal alien invaders
* No known un-forged records of Place of Birth
* No known un-forged records of University grades
* Benghazi Massacre
* Dereliction of Duty as CIC during Benghazi Massacre
* Cover up of Benghazi Massacre
* Destruction of Seal Team Six
* Cover up of Fast and Furious murder of US Border Agent by Exec. Order
* IRS-Obama’care” Commune Death Grip on Wealth and Health
* NSA-Gestapo Death Grip on all citizen’s communications
* Use of Courts against News Media
* Use of Supreme Court to install Un-Constitutional Obama’care’ Tax
* Destruction of the US Coal Industry
* Refusal to permit XL Pipeline construction
* Trillion Dollar a year Federal Overspending
* Monthly violations of the US Constitution by Obama
* Use of Exec. Orders to bypass Congress.

REPLACE sniveling coward Speaker Boehner with a FIGHTER!

It is time to IMPEACH Tyrant B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro.
_______________________

Tyrant B. Hussein Obama, (aka Barry Soetoro), continues his unopposed efforts to expand Totalitarian Obamanation in Liberty-based America.

Where are the Republican opponents of Tyrant Obama?

Why have the Articles of Impeachment for Tyrant Obama not been issued by US House Speaker Boehner, or Pro-Welfare Republicans Cantor or Ryan?

Have House and Senate Pro-Welfare Republicans formed a cave-in pact with Pro-Welfare Democrats to protect Tyrant Obama?

The main thing that Speaker Boehner is afraid of is being blamed for doing his job.

Speaker Boehner’s job now is to shut down the NON-ESSENTIAL parts of the US Federal Government until Obama’care’ is ABOLISHED, however long that takes.

IIRC, this was the case when Obama traveled west recently.

Persons wishing to attend, were required to submit their social media passwords so that their accounts could be scanned for any negative Obama comments.

No negative comments = free tickets to attend

I think the regime has pretty much destroyed ambitions among most US young folks. All they want to do is enjoy their 5 or 6 years of college (on credit) and go on to live the “life of Julia” as good Baraqqis.

Scranton, a city that's friendly to the Democrat . . .

That's an understatement. It is the laughingstock city which:

  1. produced Bob Casey, Jr., arguably the dumbest member of the U.S. Senate with a penis.
  2. produced the Lackawanna County kids for cash scandal. Kids were being sent to jail on penny ante charges so big Democrat campaign donors could keep their detention facilities near capacity for which they billed the country hefty daily fees.
  3. is place so grotesquely ugly and a caraciture of the NE rust belt that it became the series for the Hit TV Comedy The Office. Anybody remember Dwight's manure throwing idiot cousin? That guy is a genius compared to the average Scranton voter.

If Pennsylvania was a person, Philadelphia would be the assh*le and Scranton would be the dick.

I really do think we should start pushing a law, constitutional amendment, or something that BANS all ELECTED officials from speaking on anything political at ANY Public entity....schools, colleges, state offices, etc.

Not sure that is true....my grandson (19) is working at Fed Ex, trying to earn money for college tuition (comm college), and writes letters to us like a NORMAL person, well actually, like a fully formed adult.

Cry me a river. For the most part, Pennsylvania's current congressional districts are less gerrymandered and more logically drawn than the previous set.

As the Democrats move into greater concentrations of idiot clusters like Scranton, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Erie, they drive the more productive class out.

Not so different that what is happening to Michigan, Ohio or other rust belt states.

Good for him. Certainly there are some “outliers” who haven’t embraced the “message”.

President obama should talk more about gun control while in Scranton.

It would go over really big with all the hunters there...

He couldn't even remember the names of the elected officials hosting him in Buffalo.

The college kids in the audience had to stop their clapping and correct Dear Leader - since his TOTUS seemed to be failing him (although it looks like more than TOTUS issues, to me).

Hilarious to watch.

Sorry for the qualifier, but the competition for the title becomes awfully stiff once you include all the female members of the U.S. Senate.
