Barack Obama's mother got him up before dawn to do school work she knew what it meant for his future. With hard work and student aid his life was transformed. Today higher education means even more for the middle class. Giving young people the chance to compete, like he did. So he doubled funding for college grants, capped federal student loan payments, passed the largest college tax credit ever. For their future and ours.

    Wow- give the job market today all I have to say is simply this is all the effort and student loan debt in this very tight job market worth it! I know in my case it wasn't worth it-I have earned a master's degree and guess what I am still homeless after nearly 2 years of working as a dishwasher while I am mailing out resumes and completed job applications. The only good thing I can say about my life is this I am not paying one cent on my student loan debts.

    Obama has never been shy about how he made it. HE is truly the American Success Story. That is why he is sincere in getting the middle class and poor a great education and he it getting that done.

    College doesn't mean squat in the economy that precious little Barry has magnified to horrific proportions. Kids would be better served to get a tech career that will put them to work. We are educating an unemployed generation to a high standard of nothing. College grads are spinning their wheels because they can't find jobs. Hey, Barry. Stupid is as stupid does. Not a clue for the economy and no clue how to build jobs. Let's edjimacate these kids though. You even get a bonus, Barry. You can have them in debt on the student loans with no job to pay them back. You are a slick whistle, Barry. I didn't realize Harvard had a class called Demise by Design ... kill America through economic chaos.

    LOLOLOLOLOLOL hardly. How simple of you to translate it that way and how foolish of me not to write it in terms that even you can understand. Grown and magnify are not comparable, but for your understanding, maybe I should say, hmmmm, the scumbucket POTUS has spent so much money in an irresponsible way that the debt that he has incurred makes Bush look parsimonious.

    The National Debt has now increased more during President Obama's three years and two months in office than it did during 8 years of the George W. Bush presidency.


    The Debt rose $4.899 trillion during the two terms of the Bush presidency. It has now gone up $4.939 trillion since President Obama took office.


    The latest posting from the Bureau of Public Debt at the Treasury Department shows the National Debt now stands at $15.566 trillion. It was $10.626 trillion on President Bush's last day in office, which coincided with President Obama's first day.


    The National Debt also now exceeds 100% of the nation's Gross Domestic Product, the total value of goods and services.


    Mr. Obama has been quick to blame his predecessor for the soaring Debt, saying Mr. Bush paid for two wars and a Medicare prescription drug program with borrowed funds.


    The federal budget sent to Congress last month by Mr. Obama, projects the National Debt will continue to rise as far as the eye can see. The budget shows the Debt hitting $16.3 trillion in 2012, $17.5 trillion in 2013 and $25.9 trillion in 2022.

    Federal budget records show the National Debt once topped 121% of GDP at the end of World War II. The Debt that year, 1946, was, by today's standards, a mere $270 billion dollars.


    Mr. Obama doesn't mention the National Debt much, though he does want to be seen trying to reduce the annual budget deficit, though it's topped a trillion dollars for four years now.


    As part of his "Win the Future" program, Mr. Obama called for "taking responsibility for our deficits, by cutting wasteful, excessive spending wherever we find it."


    His latest budget projects a $1.3 trillion deficit this year declining to $901 billion in 2012, and then annual deficits in the range of $500 billion to $700 billion in the 10 years to come.


    If Mr. Obama wins re-election, and his budget projections prove accurate, the National Debt will top $20 trillion in 2016, the final year of his second term. That would mean the Debt increased by 87 percent, or $9.34 trillion, during his two terms.

    Obama wants people to be educated. The republicans want to take all the grants and free education away, so you can be all as dumb as a box of rocks. That should tell you something, shouldnt it?

    My family members worked and went to school and got grants, scholarships, and loans. It takes more than doing just one thing to get through school. You act like just because someone gets a grant, they are set. They still have to do little necessary things like eat, buy clothes, and other necessities. My granddaughter is going to college and she will get help from her mom and dad, but they cannot afford to pay for college outrght.

    not at all! but i also don't think that the gov cutting back will stop those that really want the education. all this will do is stop the slackers using college as a dodge.

    "To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my (college) friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors (wait...WHAT?? Marxist professors???) and structural feminists."

    Considering that 0bama has sealed his records, I would find that very interesting.

    Please proceed with your proof.

    OK, so far you have disproved that fake ID card, but you said you could prove that 0bama did not attend school as a foreign student. As I said, he has sealed his records, so in order for you to prove anything, you must have access to his school records.

    Do you have access to his school records?

    If you read that page, I don't think you would have presented it here.

    It clearly states that 0bama's registration for claimed he was Indonesian.
