C-SPAN's Students and Leaders RNC Chairman Michael Steele

[supersmashbros011]

Steele and the republicans need to actually challenge Obama if they ever want to win again

[Nickk361]

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things the students did not, and will not learn in school.

He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

[Nickk361]

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it! Rule 2: The world won't care about your 'self-esteem'. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

[Nickk361]

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

[Nickk361]

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

[Nickk361]

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

[Nickk361]

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

[Nickk361]

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

If you can read this - Thank a teacher!

[rebelstang]

Go Steele Go! Try & Re-clame ,the osamabama youth.

Good Luck & GOD BLESS,!

islam & liberal socialist,

Deo Vindice!

[bmtaratoot1]

"Oh and biscuits, sorry"

[LittlePinky82]

I love some of those kids faces lol. Says it all. LOL that he was a partier. Only thing is he probably didn't have the family connections and money like Bush did to pay people to do his homework lol. I'm surprised he hasn't been kicked out of the RNC chairmanship yet lol.

[gosuns08]

lol he is a joke

[bmtaratoot1]

That man is ridiculous.

[putittogether]

Republicans and Democrats are BAD for Americans.

[putittogether]

You can see the contempt on the face of those kids.

[watcherofolde]

ademola,why would you hate the GOP? Just general principles? A little BDS??The GOP is the party of Lincoln. It is loaded with folks like Michael Steele. It may be wise to get to know some people who espouse the GOP party, before making blanket statements condemning the entire group.

[ademola1]

GOP "WAS" the party of Lincoln. Today it is the party of Limbaugh, Cheney and Rove. It is a party that seeks to limit social programs for the poor and increase the strength of big business. They even condemn republicans that are moderate. I believe McCain Romney and Steele are all reasonable people but they are guilty by association of the past 8 years.

[Msorensen307]

If we really want to talk about guilt by association than President Obama is guilty of being a domestic terrorist, and a total fraud. Dont even try to go there.

The GOP will become a universal party with Chairman Steele guiding us. We can be a party of moderates like McCain and Romney , and a party of conservatives like Palin and Giengrich.

The GOP has by no means failed, because the democrats will fail and bring socialist values upon the US and remind us why the Soviet Union failed.

[ademola1]

Domestic terrorism is the GOP letting the people of New Orleans die off after a hurricane. I laugh at you thinking that Steele is your leader after the way he backed down from Limbaugh a few months back about GOP leadership. And yes the Republican party is only a shell of what it was 8 years ago with conservatives persecuting moderates in the party. THE PEOPLE IN SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS voted out the GOP so what does that tell you???

[jmjfanss]

Because nobama is a fraud and the dumbocrats are no better than the repukens, let's face it, the two party system don't give a shit about the american people but themselves.

[jasonla85]

Carol Quigley, a top Clinton advisor wrote a book, in which he said; " The 2 party system is a deception to make people think they have a choice and to institute a one world government". He went on to say he agrees with it, all but the deception. What they do in front of the camera is nothing more than political theatre. The good ones get swept under the rug while those that go along with the Bilderberg's get promoted.

[ademola1]

I abhor the GOP, but damn this is one of the most motivational things I have ever watched.....

[Bruce1949919]

Michael Steele is not going to win the hearts of the American People. But I would never would have voted for Barack Obama. Which I did not.

[NotTooObvious]

i like michael steele. i know he gets a lot of flack because he isn't the most eloquent of speakers, but he's a nice guy.

[bigal21110]

Michael Steele = Cheap shot by GOP to win some black vote

[cranbone06]

Barak Obama = cheap shot by Democrats to solidify their 95% lock on the black community.

It's just stupid either way...and bordering on racist in your case. Mine was simply to "mock" yours.

Who cares why? It should be considered as more proof that the powers that be...whoever they are...are moving past ancient thinking. It's up to the individuals to excel or fail.

[freetoseektruth]

Micheal Steele tells it like it is.

Hard work can be it's own reward, regardless of color.

You race baiters keep up the liberal plantation mantra. WHERE has it gotten you.

You all keep missing the point.

As long as the black community keeps doing this to itself, nothing is gonna change.

Even Obama can't CHANGE that.

Do for yourself, don't wait for the government to live your life for you.

[peteykkk]

Israel gonna bomb Iran by Nov, 2009. Read: Her name Is Ms. Ann (and Black People's Folly) on YOUTUBE. Also, on another front, Wait til Tony Resko, Blago, Rahm Emanuel start talking to save their asses! None have been sentenced yet! Fitzgerald wants bigger fish! He wants the illegal, muslim Obama deported! Muslims are past scum, they must be tracked down and destroyed!

[pickens77]

I can't believe the racism in some of these comments. Disgusting.

[freetoseektruth]

Oprah has said the same things when she has talked about her past. But that's NOT racist because she is a DEMOCRAT.

I don't get this crap where Black CONSERVATIVES are all UNCLE TOMS.

WHO is being the racist here?

I think that would be YOU.

[pickens77]

Just to be clear, I denounce racism, period.

And, I don't know what "YOU" are talking about. Maybe if you stop writing like a child and grow up we can have a conversation.

[ilikeflickerstick]

Steele your a fucking loser

[evan13579b]

ehrahman:

Yep, the Democratic party OWNS black people. He must have escaped the plantation!

[cranbone06]

You're right, I assumed that anyone who would write "Dance fo yo GOP massa Sambo!! Dance!!" with such anger would be a Dem, not a Libertarian. With a post like that, I thought you had to be either a Dem or a child.

As f**ked up as the GOP is (and I agree that it is), all you can think do is write stuff like you did, dividing the right and further allowing people like Obama to get elected. Nice job.

Unless, of course, you're a Dem in Libertarian's clothing, doing your divide & conquer thing.

[cranbone06]

Correction; "...all you can think TO do is write..."

[1013joey]

conservatives are dividing the right. PERIOD.

[cranbone06]

So much for the party that preaches "tolerance"...

[smitty1276]

Amazing, the racism in these comments.

[AirborneIdentity]

whose bright idea was it to put a token black at the head of the RNC.

horrible idea

[cranbone06]

Whose bright idea was it to elect a token black as president?

Sound stupid? Because it is...just like your comment is. You'd prefer that Republicans stay "lilly white" so you can continue your "white mans party" theme.

[AirborneIdentity]

i dunno, i just think Steele was put at the head of GOP to give the racists political cover to form policies that are against black interests that's all.

with the Dems, Obama and most liberals support black interests

[freetoseektruth]

Yeah Dems have been looking out for blacks for decades, yet NOTHING much has changed, right?

That what Obama has told us.

[AirborneIdentity]

the country is not perfect, that's what progress is about. progress can't be attained with republicans

[cranbone06]

The solution offered by "progressives" is central control. "Central control" has been the standard for human gov't for centuries. Over & over again, this ultimately leads to corruption.

What's progressive is the concept of gov't in America. I'd argue that conservatives/libertarians, who generally fight for smaller gov't are the real trailblazers (flawed that they be) while you folks from the left are trying to pull us all backwards.

Like someone once said (continued)...

[cranbone06]

"If the government is big enough to give you everything you need, it's big enough to take it away.

[AirborneIdentity]

i have no problem with that. thinks like health care etc are more important than principles

[freetoseektruth]

Why is it with liberals all their mistakes don't matter because their INTENT in more important than the ineffectual outcomes. No better example than the Democrat party and the black community.

As far as many NEW black conservatives have figured out. the democrats have FAILED them.

[AirborneIdentity]

how have democrats failed the black community?

fuck, ya got me again

[curvalecce]

Interesting. Politically this man is Limbaugh's bitch, but as a person he sounds like a nice guy. It's just sad that he's gone Republican at a time when that party has gone off the rails.

[cranbone06]

Interesting. Polically you're Olberman's bitch, but I'll bet you're a nice guy. It's just sad that your a Democrat, but your party has been off the rails for awhile now.

[imaginepeace63]

Talk about a bad influence on the our youth. Steele has sold his soul to corpatism.

[cranbone06]

Talk about a bad influence on the internet, you've sold your soul to Marxism. Or it could be that you sold your soul to Anarchism.

What's "corpatism"?

[imaginepeace63]

When the government is owned by big Pharma, the oil industry, war profiteers and others. That is corpatism or fascism. I am a populist. dumbbone

[cranbone06]

You still don't get it, do you? Whether it's "big gov't" or "big business", it's the same; too much power concentrated in one place. It therefore must be noticed by us and steps taken so that they don't get so big that there's no turning back.

In addition, since your handle is "imaginepeace63", I assume you lean left, which means you lean towards MORE big gov't. That, of course, defeats your whole argument about "big" anything...dumbone.

BTW; it's "corporatism"

[manyleaves]

Excellent response.

[Steadno]

This Uncle Tom ass broke down W. E. B. Du Bois

[pomeroy82]

LOL Such a joke! Every white plantation owner's wet dream!

[blackandgoldone]

I agree with nicolenigro also.

[olTOml24]

This guy is a joke - he always seems to be saying what he thinks someone else wants to hear...just dont trust the guy

[lilq824]

I agree with nicolenigro.

[MishuTaste]

Michael Steele doesn't seem like the party type to me.

[blackandgoldone]

He hasn't been a freshman in college for over 30 years; nobody "seems like the party type" for ever. I can completely relate to his story, because the exact same thing happened to me. I'm not a supporter of Mike Steele, but I'm not so emotional that I can't see the value in his story to these kids.

[averylbrooks]

"Michael Steele can't see that he is just a puppet for the Republicans..."

Replace the name of the person and party of said person and you can say the same thing about anyone in either of the major parties.

Become independent and be no ones puppet. But I'm completely against dogma, and that goes for political dogma as well.

[imaginepeace63]

Stele has sold his soul to the republican party. He knows he is a puppet and is happy to be one.

[nicolenigro]

I am not a fan of Steele in general, but I liked his story.

[Boobalopbop]

2:26... bored, eye roll, scratching weave, lol. I feel ya girl, this is some BS

[3star2nr]

he should have asked Steele "dude why are u so dickless?"

[lordcron]

Michael Steele can't see that he is just a puppet for the Republicans. He can't see that he has no power in that party and now that his skin color isn't working for him to counter act Obama they no longer want him. When that party talks about losing the ethnic vote and gets into specifics they never talk about efforts to get African Americans to become Republican only Hispanics and Asians. It's like they are Anti-African American.

[Boobalopbop]

He just seems to really enjoy the sound of his own voice.... He does a lot of talking without saying anything. None of his speeches seem to have any point or substance, just a lot of blanket, general statements coupled with "down home" anecdotes and sarcasm.

The RNC had better get it together, and try to reach out to voters, and appointing their token negro as their leader isn't going to cut it.

[ecwaufisxtreme]

Steele is Sarh Palin's DICKLESS and BALLESS BITCH and PUSSY! Palin is a SUPERIOR politician and statesman than Steele could ever be. She is also MORE MAN than he is for Steele wears the skirt in his family while his wife wears the pants! Steele will get down on his knees and KOWTOW to Palin and help install her as the next POTUS in 2012.
