There are many benefits living in a well skilled and well educated society. If you're not interested in that then I challenge you to take residence in one of the many nations in the worl that do not value education. Go ahead.

Hillary =/= Obama

Hillary is to the right of Obama for sure.

And she's got the best President in the last 35 years on her couch.

Oh I'd really like to hear what issues you base this upon...

Is this the same one who wined that the policies he was forced to sign into law, would result in exploding numbers of people on welfare, massive deficits and a crashing economy, none of which took place?

I'll be voting for Hillary Clinton because she has amazing head on her shoulders. She brings tremendous experience, stamina, ideas, and has a true understanding of how to work with many different types of people. I admire and respect those qualities so much, and look forward to her presidency, which was absolutely meant to be!

Just curious...by what measure? And I don't mean by what happened to occur while Bill Clinton was president. I mean measured by what HE did....specifically.

In 2008 my 401k and my IRA had dropped so much I didn't know if I would ever be able to retire. Wih Obama at the helm both accounts recovered and made up almost everything I calculated I would have lost, and I retired two years ago. Since then, with the market over 18,000, I have made almost as much money on my investments as I did when I was working. I have been able to travel quite a bit (just got back from an 8,600 mile loop through the West, planning to visit Cuba and the UK next year). Life is good!

If FDR hadn't screwed things up I'd vote Obama for a third term.

Why do the Obama haters consistently let ideology overrule facts and consistently ignore:
  • THE GREAT RECESSION, the resultant hole out of which it took six years to dig.
  • GLOBALIZATION AND TECHNOLOGY.
There was NO previous period anywhere near like the one we are experiencing. There was NO GLOBALIZATION in 1980s during the sainted Reagan years. And, Reagan certainly didn't experience anything but a normal short-term recession.

It's a miracle this country is still standing given the conditions when Obama took office in 2009.

Actually, according to Political Compass, Barry has swung far right and passed her in the last four years.

Typical 'start right in with demonization' leftist response.

So...being against free college means that someone doesn't care about living in a well skilled and well educated society? How so? There are a number of colleges that provide great value re tuition, and a number of students work in paid jobs while they are going to college.

Many would agree that unpaid internships benefit skill level. Why not encourage as many internships as possible so that skill levels are as high as possible? Because in Obama's world leaving this unfettered is 'not fair' . Mean old companies take advantage of poor little students . One of my little relatives went through her 'It's not fair' phase when she was probably four years old, not as a forty some odd year old POTUS. In 2010 Obama tasked his Department of Labor with imposing regulations re these arrangements....and regulate they did. Will Hillary reverse the regulations the DOL imposed in 2010? I doubt it.
