The UAW got protected ahead of the bond holders.

My mother lost all of her GM stock in the bailout - never sold because it was a family legacy, shares were EARNED by my great uncle [worked for GM], and had been held by my family for almost 100 years ...

Best yet!

Well, I can’t watch anymore, for some reason my streaming video doesn’t work.

he is looking awfully white . You might think his mom or dad was white , no?

[Gritty]

About all I can think about at this point is the old battle cry first voiced on Lexington Green, "We have no King but King Jesus!"...

America fields a full team when they are not sitting on the bench sucking from the government teat!

[Robwin]

I wish they would show the “APPLAUD” sign.

[Yaelle]

What the bleep is this with EVERY CHILD going to college??? Really??? If they did, it would not be any kind of advantage any more, would it?? What is the point of college “for everyone”? Oh yeah, debt for every poor person that he can’t pay off.

[GOPJ]

Obama wants jobs for Americans?

He’s bringing in millions of illegals for us to compete with... And more every chance he gets...

Education - common core but not calling out by name. New ways to measure how our kids think. The problem is we’re still not reaching enough kids... High quality early education. Here we go with pre-school.

could someone please pass that barf bag?

[Jane Long]

He's turning over the "training" of American workers to Joe Biden.
A man who has never had a real job before. Fitting. Training people to suck on the government teat.

I'm tellin' ya...this plays like a comedy.
