Tell me how right wingers saying "We're going to make sure he's a one-term president", equates to him failing, because i"m pretty sure every other President has had the opposition only want them to serve 1 term..

Translation OBAMA IS NO DIFFERENT, but whiny ass liberals all expect him to be treated special.. Why?
I don't know about everyone else, but my own economic situation got better during his first term. It's just the fact that right-wingers seem as if they hate him. Sure, every other POTUS has had the opposite party wanted him in for only one-term, but none of them have ever said it publicly.

The only thing that baffles me is that I don't qualify for and financial aid. I don't need it because I commute to school which is 15 minutes away. My parents help pay for tuition out of their pocket (about $4k a semester).

Oh....and when Bush was elected, the dems were all about helping him with his policies.

Trying to limit the opposing party's president is nothing new. Young lefties have a belief that this unwillingness to cooperate started with obamas election.

The man is an amateur, pure and simple.

Look at the mess he created with Syria.

Why are you baffled?

Do you feel entitled to receive financial aid?

After all, YOU chose to go to school.

I'm baffled because I have a friend that receives $1200 in financial aid and her parents are part of the 1% (I was fixing their computer, and they left their finances up). But I don't receive anything and my parents make $70k.

Do I feel entitled to financial aid? No, I don't need it. I just thought I would qualify for it.

Well, this young lefty has known about my side not helping GWB with his policies. It's the fact that they are so blatantly honest and don't give two sh*ts about how wrong or rude they are.

I'm baffled that anyone would allow someone of such low character anywhere near their computer.

By low character, I'm speaking to the fact that you purposely looked through someone's personal financials just because "they left them up".

Character is what you do when no ones looking.

Not not "not willing to cooperate". Not "uncooperative". More than that: They were deliberately and directly anti-cooperative.

Obama calls Boehner and tells him that there will be no discussions and no compromise.

Obama calls Boehner, rules out debt negotiations - Jake Sherman and John Bresnahan - POLITICO.com

I'm hoping for the exact same thing I did last time. A complete and total shut down of the government that makes a mess of everything so that people finally get tired of these two parties.
