College and university costs are linked to the high salaries and benefits of their employees.

So Obama will ask the unionized employees to take a pay cut????

NOT........

[Artcore]

Oh, poor Barry...can't take even a little criticism! Looks like Santorum is getting under the big eared, Kenyan’s skin?

Can you imagine Obama getting his skinny arse handed to him in a debate?

FUBO!

[Vendome]

Higher education? A luxury?

Not even a necessety. sum duh dumbest people I know is colleege grajutz.

[HiTech RedNeck]

There is a classic O’bummer mischaracterization going on here. It’s like that if everyone had enough dough, they’d go to a university? Not everybody wants that. Not everybody needs that. There are callings and careers where universities are crucial. Nobody would want a doctor who didn’t go to college and medical school. But a fellow whose aspiration is to be a truck driver? A large chunk of union folks themselves, come to think of it?

We can’t allow gasoline to become a luxury, Barack.

“President Obama once said he wants everyone in America to go to college. /

If this jackass wants EVERYONE in the country to have a college edu. maybe he should figure out a way to keep half of them from dropping out of highschool first. Lame moron.

[goldstategop]

I agree with Santorum. A lot of young people would benefit from technical education and receiving practical job skills.

Obama, who has never known blue collar work, thinks that’s beneath Americans.

Pass on the arugula!

"We can't allow higher education to be a luxury in this country. It's an economic imperative that every family in America has to be able to afford.

what an idiot. There are plenty of college educated kids, living with their parents, without a job in their field today, who owe thousands for a degree they cannot use.

Let's focus on jobs.

[MarineBrat]

...every family in America has to be able to afford...

This jagoff is out of his peanut, and hellbent to destroy America.

[CainConservative]

Obama says college not a luxury

Snob!

[Hoosier-Daddy]

Anything that costs over $50k that doesn’t provide shelter is a luxury.

[Nifster]

Gosh yeah EVERY child MUST go to college.....how else will they get their brains washed enough to follow me????

[pieceofthepuzzle]

Institute standardized national testing for anyone and everyone who wants to prove what they know and compare what they've learned to what others in their field of study know. In this manner, the person who goes to a community college, or took online courses, can get the same credit for what they learned as the person who paid $50,000/yr. at a traditional university. If forced to compete in that manner, tuition would stop increasing at the rate it has.

Having EVERYBODY go to college would be a burden on our economy. It would take an enormous amount of money and, by the time it’s over, college degrees would be - to borrow a phrase from Dave Barry - as common and as valuable as bowling trophies. So more and more people will seek higher degrees, which will cost more and more money ...

[Yaelle]

Oh really, mister president? Every kid HAS to go to college? How is it then any more than 13th - 16th grades?? Blue collar workers make more than most humanities grads today. How would it be any better?

[Cicero]

Apparently he wants everyone in Indonesia to go to college to, since he just announced a large grant to pay for Indonesians to get MAs.

After all, he was an Indonesian citizen when he got a government scholarship for foreign students to attend Occidental College.

Besides, we need to give the Muzzies more of our tax money.

[Graewoulf]

When Dictator Obama dictates that “ - - - every family in America has to be able to afford __________ “ (fill in the blank), then he means to take your money, and your yet to be born descendants to achieve whatever HE wants to do to America.

[SuziQ]

College IS a luxury that way too many families just cannot afford anymore. The more government got involved, the more expensive it got. So many parents, and many students, go into great debt to get into a 'good' college, then the kids major in some liberal arts program that won't pay enough money for them to be on their own for many years.

Except for kids who major in the hard sciences, Mathematics, and possibly some Business courses, most won't be getting top paying jobs, and will be in debt to those colleges for a LONG time. Too many kids who might prefer to enter a trade are discouraged from doing so by those with a snobby attitude toward technical or trade schools, when if they did that instead, would come out with a real skill, and owing a LOT less money than their college educated peers.

The product of Occidental, Columbia and Harvard proves Santorum’s point.
