Although elected, I think his "job" before becomming president was a pretty good qualification...

Yeah, like the yellow-ribbon veterans (speaking as veteran myself), totally free tuition to ANY school? Who in their right mind thought that was a good idea, yet we bankrolled a good number of these guys. I could maybe understand doing it for any public institution, although again the cost may be still way out of control, but they covered ridiculous expensive private school for a certain number that happened to get the the "free-for-all" program (before congress realized their error). Talk about just dumping money. On the other hand, I don't know of many college students that are expecting "free" tuition, although I know what generation created the huge drain on resources and excessive spending way beyond our ability to recapture...

Yeah, a community organizer and professor are excellent qualifications.

That's not what he did before becomming president. Try again. Of course if he didn't do this, I'm sure people would be saying "how can you be president if you didn't at least ____________?"...

You lost me here. Perhaps paragraphs might help.

1. You are equating the GI Bill which rewards vets for service during their prime college years with free tuition for all?

2. I was very specific in whom I said wanted free college education. The fleabaggers AKA, the occupy wallstreet movement. Do you deny this?

3. I am all for eliminating federal government subsidies. Nothing has done more to drive up the cost of tuition than the federal government. The loans, grants, and mandates have distorted the market with predictable results. Just like medicine.

"...the Final Chapter......"? Yeah right. What a naive and presumptuous title for a thread.

Im sure if he didn't, you'd be all over the "having no political experience"...

I did a case-study on him during my undergrad before he was even considered for president. I didn't even like democrats at the time. I did note and predict that he would be president, it's not a coincidence or a random event. Oh yeah, he was a state senator before that, and he taught constitutional law. He had plenty of other "real jobs", but the whole "didn't have a real job" is just ridiculous.

Come on what is with all the politics talk.

Both candidates are very rich and should therefore be considered evil. One became very rich before entering politics (in the private sector) and one became very rich after entering politics (in the public sector). Other than that they are exactly alike.

I don't think I've ever agreed with you more.
