Free community college for all. Conversation-starter? Definitely. Political possibility? Not any time soon. President Obama unveiled the idea in a video posted to Facebook on Thursday night. But administration officials provided no price tag, no legislation, and little evidence of Republican support on Capitol Hill. But the White House says that’s beside the point at this stage. The president hopes “to start a conversation,” Obama domestic policy adviser Cecilia Munoz told reporters.

My daughter’s Associates Degree from a community college was pretty much free. It’s called Scholarships. My son is in engineering school. About 50% of that is already covered, by scholarships.

Hey Barack, that means working for it, not just getting it.

This is a cloaked admission that today's government run progressive-liberal K-12 public school system has failed. The students of the era of America's greatest generation would have little difficulty teaching themselves marketable skills in today's economy, the reverse is not true.

Free community college for all.

Because?

Because high school graduates are not smart enough to safely run the french-fryer at Mickey D's.

So, award them Associate Degrees in "Fast-Food Production".

Then raise the minimum wage.

Obama stash, bro’.....

So based on a recent news story, those coming out of Obama Community Colleges will read at a 9th grade level rather than the current 7th grade readers.

Barry will use ANY means to push his socialist agenda.
