hello america!!! this is one of those things makes you go hmmm!!!!
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-06-05/students-pay-slm-9-25-on-exploitive-loans-for-college.html
no matter how you look at it, it is a big problem &, it's not going away regardless of what congress does or doesn't do. & yes, obama can holler until he's blue but, there's a bigger problem then the interests rates & freezing them......
if obama freezes the rates, it really won't help the students...if congress were somehow to wipe out their debt, it would only hurt the people that invested their money with the banks...if the students just ignore the payments, their credit rating will suffer & the banks may seize there car or other property. besides, what good does a college education if you can only find a job at home depot?
the problem is 2-fold. colleges are making money off these students, hand over fist, & reaping all the rewards while charging the students for everything they can think of...congress needs to look at ways for the colleges to return money it makes from the students back to the students...biggest 2 examples are; march madness & the bcs bowl......look at all the money these colleges make off of the students during college football season, college basketball season, college baseball season, etc. &, the tv ratings are off the chain during the championship runs...most, if not all, needs to be applied to tuitions across the board...college sports is a very lucrative business.........
college tuitions seem to go up every year. congress needs to form an independent study group to find out why & if the new rates are worth it. without even having any facts in front of me, i just know that salary's are going up. congress needs to bring the tuition costs back in line with reality. colleges are making 'profits' from the students...yes, higher learning should cost more then high school's but, it has reached a point where it has become too much.............
the 2nd part of this problem is perhaps the biggest part...employment.......where are these students going to work after they obtain their degree's? for that matter, where are they going to work while getting those degree's? unfortunately, the majority of these students may have to seek employment at jobs way below their degree scale. until our jobs markets open up, their student degree's will never pan out...

OBAMA, DO YOU EVEN KNOW ABOUT THIS???
hello america!!! i am not one that allows events i can't control to give me a headache however, these 2 links do.

http://www.rt.com/news/russia-china-meeting-moscow/
at a time when obama is allowing leaks of our secrets, dividing the country, fund raising all over the country &, not doing anything to stop the cuts in our defense department, russia & china's teaming up, scares me. & please, don't forget what obama gave up in reference to our nuke compared to russia's...
russia & china as a team are unbeatable short of nuking them &, i don't have enough faith in obama to feel he has the balls to do that...neither one of them like us & yet, we call them our 'friends'...well, if you accept that, how come we weren't invited to the party?
they are going to end up weakening our dollar & that alone is disastrous..

OBAMA, CAN YOU TALK???
hello america!!! i guess we're all waiting to see what's going to happen at the polls in wisconsin. my thoughts are, gov walker will be re-elected. that said, why aren't those protesting idiots up in arms in illinois--see here--
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/05/02/budget-dilemma-looms-for-illinois-democrats/
i wrote about this friday/may 4th "obama, i'll bet you don't even trust yourself" &, as of today, i've not read or heard anything else about it which, brings me back to this: the dems control illinois & they want to do the same thing that gov walker did & yet, there are no demonstrations there. why not?
i don't know what other media outlets wrote about this story but, the only one i found that day just happened to be on foxnews. i would have thought they would be asking obama, the politicians, & the public the same questions i'm asking. where is the outrage? how dare you mess with public workers union contracts! where's the demand for the recall? how can you want union workers to contribute more for their own healthcare?
obamas always preaching 'fairness' so i ask him, what's fair about him bashing gov walker & the wisconsin repubs actions, not saying anything about those 14 dems fleeing the state so as not to have to vote, condoning the demonstrations, supporting the recall &, supporting the dem mayor's run for that seat &, at the same time, not even mention what's going on in his home state???? &, as usual, the media is giving him a free ride on it...
obama, if you'd have done at least 1/2 of what gov walker did, your being re-elected would be a landslide.

OBAMA, FOOD STAMPS OVER JOBS, WHAT A GUY!!!
hello america!!! here's your daily jobs situation-----one day, i'd like to visit this site & see no layoffs, bankruptcy's or closings but, unless we get somebody to run the country that understands how america works, that day won't be soon.....http://www.dailyjobcuts.com/ &, i'd like to draw your attention to the article about family's on foodstamps...how can any leader of any country tout this as a good thing???? the sad thing is: since the 1st, this site has reported 27 closings & over 4,000 people laid off......
good people, you may side with twisted facts however, at the end of the day, you'll still have the truth staring you in the face & if you choose to ignore it, please do so at your own peril. here it is 3 1/2 years later & all we now 'KNOW' about obama is his record as our 'so-called' leader. his past is still sealed to us & the media & that alone should make you skeptical...in truth, we didn't know then (& we don't know any more now) about his college grades, where he lived, etc....there are 'gaps' in his life & we have only his word to take for his life & he has proven himself to be a LIAR...better yet, take the time to wikipedia him & then, do the same with gov mitt romney or pres bill clinton---you have to notice the difference---there is very little about obama except his record since being elected----THAT HAS TO BE SCARY!!!!!!
america, even if you are one of those people that only read the headlines, you have to wonder how come obama does not talk about all those 'good' things he did for this country. all he talks about are, 'i can fix it if you'll give me 4 more years'...what happened to all of those 'promises' & 'achievements' during his first 4 years? are we just supposed to forget them? yes, he may have a problem with the repub controlled house of reps however allow me to remind you that during his 1st 2 years, he didn't need the repubs support or votes for anything he wanted---case in point; his stimulus & obamacare---had he of spent those 1st two years on putting america back to work (instead of obamacare), the dems would never have lost their majority in the house...&, this is not 'hind-sight', it's the truth...
yeah, i know, knowitall, you really don't know crap---so be it---i know the truth & i speak the truth. if obama had of done his job like he was supposed to, i (& others like me) would not be writing these blogs...there are at least 2 sides to every story &, i'm here to give you mine.......
in the face of only 69,000 jobs added in may & the unemployment rate inching up to 8.2% (in reality, it's right around 15% but the fed gov't uses the 'lower' figure), if you think that obamas passing obamacare was a great thing then here's why---you won't like it---
in order to justify obamacare in lieu of job growth, one has to use this reasoning:::obama knew he could do nothing to help the jobs market & obamacare was created to help the backlash, i.e; more money for community healthcare centers (they are expecting 1.3 million new people) &, making it easier to get food stamps &, healthcare coverage.........while neither one is good for the growth of this nation, had obama went to the american people like this: america' i am not 'business' oriented & the people that i hired let me & you down however, i've done some things to help ease the burden of your job loss & that's why i wanted obamacare..........america, i hate to admit it but, i would have accepted that instead of accepting him blaming everybody & everything but himself.
however, at the end of the day, we still have the facts::::by the end of this year, he will have passed pres bush's record for putting people on food stamps & he has already added more to the fed debt in 3 1/2 years then pres bush did in 8 full years. you do the math....
after all this time, obama finally said, he can 'fix' obamacare in his next term meaning, he knows it is broken & bad for this nation....

OBAMA, YOU CAN'T FOOL ALL THE WOMEN!!!
hello america!!! so, obamas back to 'working' for the female vote...
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/hoping-clout-women-voters-obama-urges-congress-pass-183701792.html
well, let's look at some facts:::::this comes from WIKIPEDIA.....
The House of Representatives approved the bill in January 2009.[2] The United States Senate failed to move the bill forward in November 2010.[3] President Barack Obama said in March 2011 that he will continue to fight for the goals in the Paycheck Fairness Act.[4] The bill was reintroduced in both houses of Congress in April 2011.[5]
obama & the dems had total control of washington & the bill failed (yeah i know, it was pres bush's & those damn repubs fault)...
then you have this.......
http://www.policymic.com/articles/6859/president-obama-s-war-on-women-hypocrisy-female-white-house-employees-paid-18-less-than-men
& this..........which was kept pretty quiet...women should just be tickled pink about the muslim brotherhood...
i had many sites to choose from & i like this one the best...
http://joshuapundit.blogspot.com/2012/04/muslim-brotherhood-visits-white-house.html
as usual, obamas rhetoric is the opposite from his actions. if the female issue were as big a deal to obama as he would like the american women think, he should have been out there every day shouting for it---just like he did his stimulus & obamacare---but know, he needs that female vote & he's going to make a big issue out of it.

OBAMA, WHAT IS OUR FOREIGN POLICY???
hello america!!! this is what happens when we support 'regime changes' without knowing all the facts...
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2012/06/04/libya-armed-brigade-surrounds-tripoli-airport-official-says/?test=latestnews
obama wanted gadhafi out without fully knowing who or what was replacing him...well, he got his wish...so, what's the next move?
in egypt, we wanted mubarak (who in his own way was an ally) gone---we got our wish...so, what's the next move? oh, that's right, we set the country up for the 'muslim brotherhood' who recently, & very quietly, visited our very own whitehouse---where was the media on this story? where are the women groups on this story? after all, under 'sharia law' they have all those rights, right? where's mr 'fairness' himself, obama, on allowing them to even enter the whitehouse grounds?
pakistan hosted bin laden, cut our troop supply routes, hides terrorists, kept our crashed stealth helicopter &, imprisoned the good doctor that led us to bin laden...yep, they have to be our number one fan---oh, i almost forgot, they will reopen the supply routes but will charge us $5,000 per container---here---
http://tribune.com.pk/story/384794/reopening-nato-supply-govt-justifies-5000-fee-for-shipping-containers/
afghanistan & iraq are lost causes, lost time, lost money & unfortunately, lost american lives...neither country will become totally free or self-sustaining. &, we have our drones in yemen.......
everywhere i look, i see problems & i didn't even get to that little country called israel

good people, if you know exactly what our foreign policy is, you're one up on obama......

OBAMA, WEAKEST LINK IN THE CHAIN!!!
hello america!!! our we really safer then we were 3 1/2 years ago? i think not. yes, bin laden is dead & yes, drone planes are killing the enemy & yes, our unfinishable (like that word?) military business in afghanistan & iraq is winding down & yes, we haven't been attacked within our borders---however---obama is not as strong as he would like you to think &, if you give me a minute, i'll prove it..........
way back in 2009, north korea threatened to test a missile (& did) &, i'll never forget these exact words of obama, "our words must mean more then words" in reference to our warnings to that country. i was proud because i thought obama was going to show he had a 'spine' because this was the man that was going to invite our enemy's to the dinner table & work out our differences---however, my pride was short-lived...looking back 3 years ago to now, all obama has done is talk. he instills no fear in north korea &, sanction after sanction has not worked. somebody should tell obama that sanctions only hurt the people of the country, not the gov't plus, they have the backing of china & russia.
look at what all north korea has done since obama uttered those words & you'll see that obamas words don't mean crap...&, here's north korea in the news again.......
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2012/06/04/north-korea-says-it-has-aimed-missiles-at-south-korean-media-groups/?test=latestnews
then you have iran...they deliberately defy obama & they have the backing of russia. sanctions are not hurting them &, they are determined to make a nuke weapon at all costs...
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/05/29/iran-nuclear-sanctions-idUSL5E8GT2J920120529
russia & china have been building up their military (china is working on an aircraft carrier bomb) &, obama was caught telling a russian diplomat for him to tell putin that he would have more 'flexibility' on the missile defense plans after his re-election...by the way, putin just stood him up at camp david...here's putin's response to 'flexibility'...
http://worldnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/05/03/11521486-russia-threatens-preemptive-strike-over-planned-us-missile-shield?lite
who can forget how long it took obama to agree to the surge & still didn't send as many troops as the generals on the ground requested. if he's not going to listen to those on the ground, we are really doomed...also look at long it took him to get 'involved' in libya & all those lives lost because he hesitated...&, we are involved in yemen &, we have to have people on the ground there no matter what is said. pakistan has proven to be our enemy. &, now we have syria...

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4237965,00.html
plus, obama is allowing our 'secrets' to be 'leaked' to the press. instead of him 'bragging' about bin laden's death, he should be demanding that congress find out who in his admin is running their mouth. & while drones may keep our casualties down, by killing our enemy, we lose the ability to get the info we need from the dead.
obama is weak---this should never have been leaked (even though i love the idea of it) until after it was proven in 'battle'.....
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/06/04/planned-stealth-destroyer-could-underpin-us-navy-china-strategy/
