Obama probably also will urge measures to increase college enrollments. For several decades, both parties simply knew that not enough people owned homes. So, federal policy — mortgage subsidies, lower lending standards — encouraged more homeownership than market rationality would have produced. One exciting result was the Great Recession. Now the federal government, which simply knows that not enough people are getting college degrees, has fueled a bubble in higher education by funneling billions in subsidies for student tuition aid. To the surprise of no one, except the government, schools have responded by raising their prices — they are up 23 percent since Obama’s first election — to capture the subsidies.
The Center for College Affordability and Productivity reports that about 48 percent of those college graduates who are employed are occupying jobs that the Bureau of Labor Statistics suggests require less than a four-year college education. Thirty-seven percent are in jobs that require no more than a high school diploma, and about 5 million are in jobs that require less than a high school education. About 14 percent of waiters and waitresses, 16.5 percent of bartenders, 18 percent of telemarketers and 24.6 percent of retail salespeople — not including the 14.5 percent of counter and sales clerks — have college degrees.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I have said that people with degrees are taking jobs that went to eighth grade dropouts in my youth, now it appears that some are taking jobs that went to fourth grade dropouts in those days. The kind of job that I had at 21, fresh out of the Navy, probably would go to someone with a master’s now. When I reflect that it used to be EXPECTED of a male who finished high school in my time that he would be immediately gainfully employed if he were not going to college and that he would be married and have a house and children by 22 it seems as if this must be a different planet now.
ON THIS DAY
Jan 26, 1784, In a letter to his daughter, Benjamin Franklin expressed unhappiness over the eagle as the symbol of America. He wanted the turkey.
Odumbo will deflect all attention away from his already failed policies and expound his next series of failed policies. The guy is, has been and will always be a LOSER!
Will he call it a “five year plan”?
ROTFL---that IS funny.
WHO CAN BLAME HIM? Boobamba's prolly scared stiff of the applause from lock-stepping Dems rising to their fight as one (like they had firecrackers under their a**es)..... to applaud Boobamba's signature piece of legislation.
Heck, as far back as 2008, at the presidential debate in Nashville, Democrat candidate Obama advanced his signature plan that was ultimately enacted (by an historic straight Democrat party-line vote) into the "Affordable Care Act :
OBAMA: "No. 1, let me just repeat, if you’ve got a health care plan that you like, you can keep it. All I’m going to do is help you to lower the premiums on it. You’ll still have your choice of doctor.”
Repeated over and over ---- with the promise that every American family would be saving $2500.00 on healthcare costs.
LOCK-STEPPING PARTY LOYALTY NOT SEEN SINCE 1940's ERA EUROPE Obama And The Dumbos marched in lockstep. The persistent Dumbocrat drumbeat ---- in obeisance to Obama ---- kept ringing reassuringly in our ears: "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan."
=================================
SIGNING "THE BIG EFFIN' DEAL"
"Those Democrats leering over my shoulder owe me bigtime. This
healthcare bill insures we have a permanent Democratic majority."
" All except those Tea Party types, swallowed hook, line and sinker my promises that they could:
(1) keep their existing health plans,
(2) keep their own doctors that they like,
(3) keep their 25-year-olds on the family health plan,
(4) never be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition,
(5) sign up instantly on my tech-savvy government Web site,
(6) buy insurance only after becoming seriously ill."
(7) save $2,500 in annual premiums in the bargain....
(8) All without any new taxes."
"Them sonovagun Tea Partiers will rue the day they criticized my wonderful bill."
================================================
JUST AN EDUCATED GUESS (CACKLE)-- O/Care must be a debacle---b/c lock-stepping Dems are hiding it as an election issue.
Nanzi Pelosi Says Dems win in 2014 Focusing on The 3 R’s: Recruiting, Raising Cash, Raising Issues.....but Nancy plumb "forgot" to mention "Obamacare"--- the signature legislation of their president. Lock-stepping Dems once said they were so s-u-r-e Americans would love Obama's wonderful healthcare plan, that O/Care is a winning Democrat issue.
Lock-stepping Dems seem to have gotten the heebie jeebies over Obamacare.
ROTFL.
When he puts a “laser focus” on something, the laser focus moves away from something else - for a while, anyway.
At some point in his speech, Obama will attempt to channel an archetype buried deep in the American psyche—the image of the
noble, suffering slave raised high on the auction block, first
used by Abolitionists prior to the Civil War, and Lincoln
during it. His podium will become an altar compelling voters to once again prove their repentance—by submission to Obama.
Obama will present himself as having achieved the pinnacle of
innocence, which will actually come across “like a billy goat
pining after purity” to borrow and reassign a trope from
writer Henri Troyat.
"And let me thank every Democrat, who---without exception
---voted for Obamacare---my historic signature legislation."
"Thank you Democrats for reminding every American in every district
that 'if they like their plan, they can keep their plan.' Nice work Democrats."

Great list Liz....
(Sniffle) STILL A "VICTIM" AFTER ALL THESE YEARS (sob) Holds the most powerful office in the world---living like a billionaire in the WH---but he's still a "victim."
SINKING IN THE POLLS, OBAMA CUNNINGLY PLAYS THE RACE CARD--“There’s no doubt some folks really dislike me because they don’t like the idea of a black President,” Obama said. Yet, as a 2008 candidate salivating after the highest office in the land, he tried to convince voters his blackness was of no consequence. He made dam sure voters knew he was half-white---photographs with his white grandparents popped up allover.
The Obama agit/prop campaign team blanketed the media w/ this badly photo-shopped pic.
----------------------------------
NRO tallied what taxpayers are paying for the "victim and his wife" to live large on the taxpayers' dime: a grand total of $1.4 billion per year:
Air Force One ($181,757 per hour), executive chef ($100,000 per year), three full-time White House calligraphers ($277,050 per year for the trio), chief of staff to the president’s dog ($102,000 per year), Ohaha's royal motorcade ($2.2 million). $100 million alone for the African apology tour.
==========================================
$1.4 BILLION is the current annual cost of the White House — just in household expenses, not including US policy operations for which the WH exists-- administered by some 900 parasites--- policy staff recruited by Ohaha.
There's the $100 million trip to Africa not including the foreign aid billions O handed out to these oil-rich satraps. There's serial Ohaha vacations costing taxpayers millions---- (the low estimate Hawaii vacays is $4 million each, but is probably five times that); the pricey Martha's Vineyard stays; Mrs O's costly trip to elite Marbella w/ an entourage of 30.
Mrs O's $3900 PER NIGHT in Ireland PLUS 30 more rooms for her entourage.
Ireland's Grace Kelly hotel suite.
=======================================
TAXPAYERS SUFFERED RUINOUS HEALTHCARE CANCELLATIONS--BUT THEY PAY $7 MILLION FOR THE OBAMAS HEALTHCARE---NRO found the first family’s yearly health-care costs Americans $7 million; the reason why only Boobamba himself was "enrolled" last month --and not his family.
Mrs O wore her pricey diamond bangles (bought on a govt salary?) at a DNC fund-raiser, attended by "tolerant and compassionate" Dems....raised big bucks to keep Mr O in office so he could work for "the poor." Her diamond Gothic cuff priced at $15,350 set with 2.17 carats in diamonds and the Quatrefoil bracelet at $11,800 set with 1.73 carats in diamonds. (Excerpt) Read more at houston.culturemap.com.
Mrs O wowed all the "tolerant and compassionate" Dems who hate the rich and support endless tax-paid programs "for the poor."
===============================================
Mrs O has 24 assistants at her beck and call.
Her wardrobe, nails and hair are subsidized w/ US tax dollars.
No, the SOTU will not focus on O-care. It may say a few wonderfully false and rosy things about it, but the address will be forward looking. It will describe how Obama will use the power of the pen and phone to bring government alive as never before, crushing inequality, speeding environmental change, and pumping money to the unions through government spending (e.g., college for dummies, paid for by after-grad servitude to government). /Rant off
Obama’s about the only person I want to hear less from than George Will.
All GOP reps and senators should decline to attend. The Supreme Court justices too.
