If the average American voter were not so greedy, stupid, naive, focused upon "Dancing With The Stars" and "American Idol"... Odumbo would flush down the toilet with the rest of the turds.
Thats what happens when trillions go to tax cuts for the rich,wars, etc while cutting funding for education
Obama: 'I was born in Hawaii. I can't change those facts. While calling for less fighting between Republicans and Democrats, President Obama also sent a message last night to critics -- the so-called birthers -- who say he was not born in the United State (and is therefore ineligible for the presidency). "I was born in Hawaii, what can I say?" Obama told Democratic donors in Boston. "I can't change those facts." "We didn't just rescue the economy we put it on the strongest footing for the future," Obama said. "And along the way we saved the auto industry and a few other things." Obama noted that when he took office, "this country was going through as tough a time economically, as tough a time financially, as any period since the 1930s." As a result, he said, his administration "had to make a series of quick decisions, and often times unpopular decisions." http://content.usatoday.com/communi...s-born-in-hawaii--i-cant-change-those-facts/1
You complain that the American voter is stupid,yet you support the party of cutting funding to education http://www.elpasotimes.com/news/ci_17681886?source=rss Texas House committee passes budget with steep cuts AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - A Texas House committee approved a bare-bones budget Wednesday that would make deep cuts to public education and health and human services over the next two years. With no discussion or debate, the House Appropriations Committee adopted the 2012-2013 spending plan in an 18-7 vote that fell along party lines, with all Democrats present rejecting the measure. The proposed budget calls for the state to spend $77.6 billion of its own funds over the two years. It would underfund public schools by almost $8 billion and Medicaid by $4 billion. Under the proposal, schools would still be underfunded by about $800 per student. It still doesn't include money for full-day pre-kindergarten, teacher incentive pay, arts education and numerous other school programs. http://www.abc15.com/dpp/news/state/senate-republicans'-budget-plan-cuts-education PHOENIX - Senate Republicans' proposed state budget would have Arizona finish the current fiscal year with a shortfall but put the state back in the black in the next fiscal year with deeper spending cuts than Gov. Jan Brewer has proposed. The plan's approximately $400 million of cuts beyond those proposed by Brewer include $172 million from K-12 schools, $65 million from universities and $67 million from health programs and social services. Republicans Propose Education Cuts to Minimum Funding Levels Among the $22 billion in proposed cuts by state Republicans today, close to half that, 10.6 billion, would be cut from K-12 schools and community colleges. "That would bring school funding to just about the minimum required by state law," the Sacramento Bee notes. That funding level would be "the equivalent to shutting down the three largest school districts in the state, or over $1,300 a kid," according to Senate President Pro Tem and Democrat Darrell Steinberg. "That's no way to build for the future... "Republicans obviously don't think the time for ideology and posturing is over."
Education...yeah, one of those emotional hot spots. Fact is, $Billions have been spent unwisely on education...mostly resulting in poor performance student scores and HUGE retirement benefits for teachers. The Department of Education deserves to be rescinded. DOE is not alone. Federal Government should be trimmed by 25-50%... that is IF you want America to survive.
When Obama is impeached world economy will be seriously changed. Back to economics. Start discussion.
Stupid Obama has prolonged the Libya crisis into the unknown. Libyan government were at the gates of Benghazi and would have taken it in 2-3 days and that would have been the end of the Libya's chapter with revolution. Why does US go around trying to make enemies just for nothing?
