See, I have worked at a private consulting company doing work at the TSA and DoD. Anyone who isn’t a moron can clearly see the differences between government and private enterprise. The government workers didn’t give a about anything leading to their sadness and depression. Thats because there paycheck by proxy comes through coercion, people are forced to pay taxes whereas with a private company, your customers can freely choose to stop paying you money.

He never once looks at the camera and speaks to the large audience of kids that are out there. He keeps looking side to side……I guess it’s that whole telepromter thing. (Not sure if I spelled that right. I never knew what one was until this president.)

First off, he’s NOT …
First off, he’s NOT a communist. Probably a bit socialistic yes but it doesn’t relate to communism
Second, so what if he smokes? In fact, he quit smoking a while back.
Third, somewhat agree but if you’re going to make speech a big deal then you might as well say Bush was the worst president of all time. Or better yet, Lincoln.
I don’t like Obama’s policies but grow up.

just because a person has an education does not mean that the person can think for himself.

The people …
The people protesting against this simple speech encouraging students to succeed is really pitiful. I feel sorry for the ignorant people who teach their kids this behavior. Hopefully, they’ll grow up and tell you to shove your outdated ignorant opinions. Good job, President Obama.

You have no clue what socialism means. Soviet Union, Sweden and France have nothing in common.
You are right Obama was born on Mars and the White House hides his birth certificate in the classified Roswell file. You risk to be put in district 9 and forced to eat cat food.
I lived in UK, France Italy and now in the US. Not only I NEVER stayed in line, I also got any service and I paid nothing and no one vever denied me care.
Check your facts before talking
