If you could care less then why bother posting. Well that is what I am hearing, the new PC is don't dare refer to black people as urban folk. Whats up with that anyway. Who cares, I never did get why people get so offended so easily. You urban folk, oh I mean African Americans call whites crackers all the time. Do white folk bounce off the walls? hardly.

People need to seriously relax!

Dude, I am a white guy. But I live in urban areas, therefore if you take all the racism that was implied with that comment, then I too am an "urban folk."

Dude?? Oh I am so offended. You assume I am a "dude". That is sexist.

Well, I'm one who believes individual politicians, including the President, have very little effect on the economy. However, his fighting to keep interest rates low on student loans ensures I'll be able to pay them off more quickly when I finish. I have a job waiting for me when I get out of school this spring, but I attribute that more to my own hard work than any politician's actions.

Well first, it is easy to assume you are a guy, and I call girls and guys dude, so don't think I was insisting you had a penis.

So you need a president to inspire you not to commit crime and to take care of your kids? Whatever happened to personal responsibility?

If and when interest rates go up it will certainly hurt many people. Hopefully you will get your student loans paid off before then if the are adjustable. Then again, I'll bet you have a huge school loan because the subsidizing drove the cost of education up. A job, hopefully not a McD job.

But you are right, it is your hard work (whiners take notice). See, he went to college and has a job. So what is everyone else's problem. I hear so much whining from people when here you have it,... it can be done, Natural is proof.
