Looks like Obama is mostly appearing on college campuses during his campaign because he knows that naive youth are the only folks still ignorant enough about what's really going on to continue to believe the torrent of "inspirational" lies that continuously pour from his mouth.

That worked pretty good for him four years ago, so he's going to try that again. The problem of course, is that due to Obamanomics, over 53% of the youth who have entered the work force since he became President can't find work, so those folks won't be quite so eager to vote The One back in again.

Still. Every four years, Obama's got a fresh crop of the naive to peddle his lies too. Fortunately, a majority of the adults have figured out his deliberate plan of destruction and won't be voting for four more years of the worse economy since WWII. You know, little things like losing our AAA credit for the first time ever, adding more to the national debt than all other Presidents combined, worst economic "recovery" ever, 23 million still unemployed, and the lowest participation in the work force ever. Yeah, 4 more years of that sounds like just the ticket to me! And I guess Obama figures freshman and sophomores in college want that too.

**Yes, We're better off than 4 years ago when W. Bush left office. Here is Why:

1. When W. Bush left office, our GDP was at minus 9 and today is positive 2.

2. When Bush left office, Down Jones was at 7,949.09 point, minus 24%, and today is at 13,000 points, up 61% since Mr. Obama took office. Similarly, when Bush left office, my 401K was half value, and today is double.

3. When Bush left office, we had over 12 months jobs lost consecutively, 800K jobs lost per month, spiral to a depression. Mr. Obama stops the bleed, and he has produced 29 month jobs growth consecutively.

4. When Bush left office, corporation profits was down at 1 trillion dollars level, and today is up 1.7 Trillion dollars, which is 58 % increased.

5. When Bush left office, Export was down at minus 30%, and today is positive 7 percent. Both export and import are growing again.

6. When Bush left office, we have higher trade deficit, and today is a lot less.

7. When Bush left office, household income was down, and today much higher. In fact, it's much higher than real GDP.

8. Manufactures employment has gone up since Bush left office.

9. When Bush left office, we had a depression in auto industry, and today GM is saved and the industry is profit again, thanks to Mr. Obama and his courage.

10. If GOP congress approves American job Act that produce 1-2 million jobs, instead of sitting on it since last summer, unemployment rate would down by 1% point or 7.2% overall according to WSJ.

11 During the 28 years of Democratic presidents, 57.5 million new jobs were created, an average of 2.05 million per year vs. During the 36 years of Republican presidents, 36.2 million new jobs were created, an average of 1.0 million per year.

12. Why do we need a Wall Street raider that created this financial crisis in 2008, and who provide no specific solution to address our problem? Don't we have enough?

Ask the college kids that went with Obama 4 years ago what they think of him now.

I guess Romney had better get busy and zero in on remedial reading classes, where the more intelligent of his moron voter base will be hard at work getting their GED. The less intelligent being Fox News zombies, of course.

"both say they would strongly consider engaging the militarily" - better go back to college.

OK, yeah, that won't help.

Wow...I wonder what new lies Obama has for the college students...maybe he can tell them why their interest rates have gone UP under his admin...and why he is allowing Sallie Mae to charge HIGHER interest on Forbarence along with a FEE of FIFTY DOLLARS PER LOAN and 14.95 TO PAY it with your credit card...He has allowed his foriegn investors to make TONS of money on college students...so I am just wondering what his new lie will be. I cant even stand to hear him talk anymore...because that is all he does...it is like he doesnt have any core values...just a body full of the same words over and over again that are meaningless.

Well, being I am from Chicago and seeing first hand how Obama, Axerod and Valarie Jarret ruin Chicago...I laugh at people like purplestates who have know clue about this corrupt force. In Chicago because of all the spending for their social justice agenda, has cost us a arm and leg. Chicago is totally broke and getting worst. We have some of the highest gas prices, taxes, boarded up houses, and black on black crime. Is this what you want for your country. These morons will gut your pay check if you still have a job. Believe me Chicago politicians are corrupt to the bone, they will lie through their teeth just to stay in office. They don't care about you and me. It's all about the power...Chicago Power!
