so you buy into poll ratings? Well Ron Raygun's approval rating was 35% in January 1983. George W...22% and his daddy was at a low with 29%. So by comparison Obama is doing pretty good.

When our government pays a student $ 300,000 to go to school the
student should learn something other than how to rob the American
taxpayers who have funded these miserable programs for the past
80 years. If you want a free ride try sliding in the snow.

WOW! Folks, Debris talks like a very well educated guy. But, on the other hand, I've known a lot of educated fools in my 67 years. And, having met them, I've found that just a lil' dab of WISDOM will dissipate years of "book-learnin'" .

So books and "book-learnin" are somehow suspect??? And someone who reads books can't possibly find "just a lil' dab of WISDOM"??? I'm interested to know what YOU see as the processes involved in moving from data to information, to knowledge, to understanding, to what you conceptualize as "wisdom". I've met both educated and uneducated fools in my 66 years, and actually have some experience in transforming knowledge and understanding to wisdom, but I'm wondering what you conceive of as "wisdom" and how you think you've arrived there.

You should read "Heidi". It promotes honesty and hard
work, in addition to overcoming disabilities and hardships.
It has a good ending where faith and respect win out
over evil . Also family values run consistently throughout
reinforcing that some values do not become outdated .
However use caution ; it may not be politically correct.
I wouldn't want anyone to become "offended" .

Sorry, no best schools, just working 3 jobs to pay my way through. Commuted 400 miles to graduate school while working full time and raising four kids. That's my organizing experience. But implied in your questions is a distrust of learning, an anti-intellectualism that's consistent with the various flavors of animosity toward the Obama administration expressed here. Why am I wasting my time? I'm a teacher, I'm interested in public discourse (and the lack thereof) and this is my classroom. Or, I'm here for the same reason that Jehova's Witnesses come to my door.

Probability would say you are a female. Most liberal men wouldn't try to or be able to raise four children while

@Scridmo: First, you assume I'm a female. Wonder why. Second, I never said our society was rotten, but you assume that. Wonder why. Third, you assume that I had help from "our rotten society" when in fact my help was from very good friends who lived in my house and helped me with kids. In two years of that insane commute, I never had federal or state support of any kind. Wonder why you assume that everyone who disagrees with your assumptions and premises is on the dole.

Sorry Mr. Eagle, but a new Washington Post/ABC poll shows him holding steady with a 51% job approval,and the Gallup daily tracking has him at 50%. In case you're not too good with fractions, that's still half or more of the population of this country...

I am so laughing...but we all knew this was coming...I really didn't think he would sink this fast. I thought when he was elected he had enough common sense to slow down the "train of change" when he saw his numbers sliding. So I do not think Obama knows the American People or he does but he thinks he is so much smarter than we are and he can still lead us with indifference. Someone needs to wake him up before "his pants are on the ground"! Oh, hey guys...you can get your "Do you miss me yet" t-shirt with Bush at Zazzle...I already ordered mine..I am enjoying this!

Do you have any idea what percentage of our annual budget is allocated to "welfare"? Are you aware of the demographics of "the welfare crowd"?
