Why in the world are these 'idiots' applauding President Obama. It's a perfect example of a 'dumbed-down' university and the indoctrination of our youth. How pathetic...
President Obama gave a commencement speech at the University of Michigan over the weekend and instead of encouraging and challenging the graduates to be the next Bill Gates or Carly Fiorina, he gave a self serving, political speech chastising Americans who disagree with his ideas and policies that are leading us to even bigger government.

(Funny how when Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Cindy Sheehan and Code Pink we’re screaming about our horrible government under Bush, they weren’t confused about the government being them.) READ MORE...

ReplyDeleteElections have consequences. How much did the people here come out for John McCain. Republicans running for Congress and Senate Money? Effort? If you didn't come out strong, you have no one to blame but yourselves. The other side did come out. Money and effort. That's how the system works.
Now, you're frustrated. Understandable to someone who lived under eight years of Bush.
You lose? It's supposed to taste like a shit taco.
