Even if people don't like Obama, I don't really think Mitt Romney is even an option.

Will The Real Mitt Romney Please Stand Up...

Oh Yes ... Everyone shop around for College .... Really ???? .... How many middle class students have thousands of dollars to go on tour around the USA "shopping around" for colleges.???

Romney is a Ivory Tower buffoon .......

Which would effectively put me out of school and end my ambitions to be a community college history instructor. I chose to go down this path because my college instructors have made such a positive impact on my life. Without those Pell Grants and student loans, that won't happen. Sure, I could get a meaningless job where I'm miserable and "save up" for college, but I wouldn't be able to get enough money to pay for a year of tuition costs while surviving for about 20 years. I'd be 50 @ graduation

So. Romney wants to Cut Pell Grants, Thats like Cutting a large majority of Students from having access to school. What is this guy thinking....

Mitt Romney Vs Reality should be a series. God knows there's plenty of material.

However, His church has a Perpetual Education Fund: The essence is Education Loan repayment pays for the new Education Loans.

I think this Ad is misleading: He supports Student loans, but doesn't realize the Budget's effect on Education Loan Interest. Surely, others do this frequently, especially in the US Congress!
