Of course he does. As no one with any life experience at all takes him seriously, he's left with the same brainwashed herd animals as are in the 0ccupy Whatever crowd.

‘I need your voices’

Another vomit-worthy approach to getting votes.

"We can't wait for Congress to do its job, so where they won't act, I will," Obama said.

Because if the founders had wanted a representative republic instead of a dictatorship they would have said so.

Public schools across America will be assigning homework to children that will include things designed to help Obama’s re-election.

When teachers in Texas protested (phantom) “cuts” in Austin, it amazingly became homework across Texas to “find 3 news articles” about the protests and do an essay about their demands.

"I am going to keep doing everything in my power to make a difference for the American people stay in office, but Denver I need your help," the president said. "So I'm going to make it easier for you to pay back your student loan ... to point of it being forgiven after just 20 years ... so that I can buy your vote."

Did he tell them if they “really really loved him”, they would support him?

My grandson Phillip went off to NoBrain University - now he’s off protesting living rent free in my house, with no job.... saddest part about fighting the good fight is looking at our own children and seeing them siding with the enemy... Count on Uncle Bama to use kids like him for re-election!!

The student loan program that King Obama announced this week is typical vote-buying welfare that invites abuse and fraud.

True story. I struck up a conversation with a woman in an airport while waiting for a flight. The economy and the plight of recent college graduates came up. She openly (without a hint of shame)told to me how her daughter plans to take advantage of Sugar-Daddy Obama’s generosity.

Her daughter is majoring in a graphic design program at an expensive CA university and already has $56,000 in student loans.

Realizing that the labor market is depressed, instead of graduating, she is staying in school and living off student loans as long as she can. Which is what millions of others will do too.

She has no incentive whatsoever to limit how much debt she racks-up. She knows that she will not be held accountable to pay it back. Why stop at $56,000? $100,000! $150,000! $200,000! Sky’s the limit when you are spending free money!

After 20 years of repaying not much if any of her student loans, her debt will be forgiven.

How neat! Like free money or something!!

That is exactly how the system will be gamed.

And the politicians won’t stop bribing the people with their own money until we are Greece on steroids.

Those brainwashed kids standing behind him and cheering in front of him have idea how quickly he is destroying their country. So sad.

Easy, cheap, government-guaranteed money caused the housing bubble. Now it has caused a higher education bubble.

This is the vote-buying politicians’ way to keep the bubble inflated and keep the money flowing to one of their best mouth-pieces... liberal professors.

Thanks for that insight into how the scam works on the receiving end. It’s obvious the real greed is among 0bama’s most fevered supporters.

I got the following as a forwarded e-mail yesterday. The first forwarded e-mail I’ve gotten in years that I thought was actually worth the time I spent reading it:

[Subject:] My Friend told Me of His Daughter’s Decision, He Said;

My daughter just walked into the living room and said “Dad, cancel my allowance immediately, rent my room out, throw all my clothes out of the window, take my TV, and stereo, and iPhone, and iPod, and my laptop.

Please take all of my jewelry to the Salvation Army or Cash Converters. Then sell my new car, take my front door key away from me and throw me out of the house. Then disown me and never talk to me again..

And don’t forget to write me out of your will and leave my share to my brother.”

Well, she didn’t put it quite like that. She actually said:

“Dad, I have decided to work for Obama’s re-election campaign.”

I am profoundly sad to say that this woman was NOT an Obama-supporting liberal.

That is what happens when a country goes Socialist.

Everyone takes as much as they can, until there is nothing left to take.

As Prof. Alexander Frazer Tytler supposedely said back in the 1800’s (paraphrasing): A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largesse out of the public treasury. From that moment on the majority, he said, always vote for the candidate promising the most benefits from the treasury with the result that democracy always collpases over a loose fiscal policy, always to be followed by a dictatorship.

That describes Greece today. It could very well be America soon.

"Obama said at the University of Colorado, Denver. "Tweet `em. They're all tweeting all over the place, you tweet `em back."

This sounds more like something a petulant little child might say, not the President of the US.
