Interesting you brought up his college! We have never seen Obama's grades, transcripts or any alleged Harvard law review articles. How did he pay for it? Do we know?
careful britt, you're trying to slip a little birtherism into the thread.

"Obama has not yet released his academic records from Occidental (1979-1981), Columbia (1981-1983), or Harvard Law School (1988-1991). Theories abound as to why, but one that has largely been ignored is that maybe they’re hidden because they reveal Barack Obama was entirely average."
"Obama hasn’t released his college records, but neither have other presidential candidates released their college records. George W. Bush’s grades at Yale eventually became public, but only because somebody leaked them to the New Yorker magazine. Bush himself refused to release them, according to a 1999 profile in the Washington Post."
"Obama took out $42,753 in loans to pay for his Harvard Law School tuition. Michelle signed notes for $40,762 in loans for her Harvard Law education. That’s on top of their undergraduate loans. The couple carried their college debt 25 years—even as they were making decent incomes."
It is a question that baffles many. Hillary Clinton was the golden girl of the democrat party in the 2008 election. She had been first lady, she had proposed universal healthcare under her husbands term as president and she was a senator from New York. But with all her alleged experience that she had that would make her president, according to democrats and the media, they decided to throw her under the bus for a inexperienced candidate who had zero executive experience making good policy, balancing budgets or even running a business. What was the true reason Hillary was thrown under the bus for a junior senator with zero executive experience?
Because many individuals, myself included, wanted a break from having Bushes and Clintons in the Oval Office.
You apparently buy into the myth of the informed voter. We don't live in a society with informed voters, and haven't at least since the advent of television. In a society of uninformed voters, the coolest cat gets the gig. In 2008, Obama was the coolest cat on the campaign trail. Go watch a video of his debate with Hillary, and especially his 2nd debate with McCain. Cool as a cucumber, unflappable, and head and shoulders cooler than his opponents. Toss in black skin, white guilt and 3 terms of someone named Bush?
Hillary didn't get dissed, she got outplayed. Same for McCain. Same for Romney.
Obama is a gifted campaigner. He sucks mightily at doing the job, but he kicks ass on the galactic scale where interviewing for the job is concerned.
Obama is also the "best" at the most important thing for becoming president, and that's raising campaign money.
If Obama uses his campaigning and fund raising skills, to help put another democrat in the White House in the next election, I will consider him to be one of the greatest presidents of my lifetime.
You do realize when you write bat-**** crazy birther crap in a public forum, other people will see it, right?
No. He is definitely monitoring my posts. He only participates in birther threads that I've seen since I registered and by him responding in a non-birther thread to my post questioning Obama's grades confirms it.

But until then he's doing a good enough job.
How much has the debt in trillions increased since Obama took over?
Barack was about the same age as the average voter and was the embodiment of what they wanted in a president, not necessarily what the party wanted. That’s the lesson for the GOP. Getting elected twice speaks for its itself. The idea that a president needs executive or military experience only favors Republicans and is an old moldy paradigm. Tip O' Neal use to say businessmen didn't make good politicians. The party didn't need Barack to get the black vote and they don't need Hillary to get the women’s vote. I think the GOP is still shell shocked and won't have it together by 2016 and any other person (Libertarian or Democrat) has a better chance than a Republican as it stands now.
