Only Fox News showed that in the 20,000 seat stadium there sat only 700 people (Right Behind) Barak... Seriously... Is this even qualified to be called a "Rally"? It was faked for the cameras. Hey kids - how does it feel to be used as a political tool? I wish you all the best paying off your student loans with this mans Governmental Policies.... "I didn't Make This Up"....

They keep us in debt to keep us in line.

Few are willing to speak out against an institution that they are indebted to because they have so much control over our lives and our living standards. Here in America we're told that you MUST acquire debt so that should tell you that they aren't interested in helping you pay your loans. They're just lowering the payments so you'll be enslaved to them for a longer duration.

Obama isn't working for us; he's working for the banks and corporations.

Didn't he win NC the first time he ran for office?

I mainly blame the people. But you're right!

Or it says something about our media. Or campaigning tactics. Or party politics. Or people in general. Or all five.

The fact that Obama didn't win by a landslide again really says something about him. Especially against somebody as fucked up as Romney.

You're right to doubt half of Obama voters can spell college. 97% of us can. We beat non-Obama voters by 2.6%. :)
