Obama Bribes Student Voters With Stimulus Money


In keeping with his new campaign theme of “we can’t wait,” President Obama today will roll out a plan to put more money in the pockets of some of the nation’s 36 million student loan recipients.

Obama has broad latitude in this area – certainly broader than the first two parts of his western campaign trip, underwater mortgages and subsidies for hiring veterans – because one of his early legislative initiatives was to have the federal government take over the student lending business in America.

Obama argued for the measure in 2009 as a cost-savings initiative, saying that the old system of privately issued, government secured loans reduced the amount of available money for needy students and also prevented the feds from making the system more efficient.

    Mr. Bummer will do anything to steal more money out of your pocket under the guise of "doing good" or "helping someone out" and making you feel guilty or threatened if you disagree. As a communist in the White House he has lopsided clout especially being black as well as probably gay. This is why no one challenges him, because they are afraid of starting a race war or being in grave danger themselves. So of course each day it's some new pickpocket trick and this will continue until we are thoroughly defeated and at his mercy. Then is when we will really run for cover, like they did from Stalin.

    someone is desperate for attention and love – has to give money away for the support.

    Just another way to try and get the vote from the youth of America! This was one of his 2008 campain stratigies, like saying he's going to legalize Marijuana, the youth bought in and voted for him in droves, now odumba is rading California Pot Dispenseries and arresting people! Why he has no way of taxing to gain money to give away.
    The youth and mindless will buy in and vote for odumba once again, only to find out later that there is some sort of catch. The catch, WE THE TAX PAYERS will have to pay for mindless idots getting educations for free and becoming more mindless liberial idots, with a distorted sense of reality.
    Remeber speak up America, and lets end Afirmative Action

    Obama gave $350 for each vote to become Preident and now he has destroyed this country with self serving giving
    now he wants to give money for student loans for votes. I hope every business owner takes note of this when it comes time to hire , the ones that accept this are not honorable people.

    We need to get the federal government out of the student loan business. Loans should only be made by banks in the private sector. No tax payer’s money should ever be used for any loan at any time, for anything. We must stop bho from doing more damage to the economy and our country. As far as paying companies for hiring vets that is stupidity at it worst. Why would the government pay any company to hire qualified people to work for them? This is another case of the federal government wasting tax payer’s money. The only way for our nation to create new jobs is to get the federal government out of the private sectors business. Every time the federal government gets involved it cost more money, it waste more money, and then it spends more money trying to clean up the mess it made in the first place. We need to cut bho’s purse strings any way you can. Do not allow him to buy votes for the 2012 election, because this is exactly what he is doing. Tell you congressman to stop bho now.

    thats all Odumbo can do is BUY votes from the young dumb people & the people hurting from the mortgages on their homes and every group that needs a hand out. Those ole Mean Millionaires & Billionaires its all their fault.. HA, HA. funny I think. Of course all of Odumbo's policies and garbage is not hurting our economy Unless you are blind or stupid then keep on believing Odumbo is going to save you.

    My only question is are the students naive enough to believe this bribe even though they should realize it is impossible to do.
    And they are probably so idealistic, that they will fall for this impossible line of crap. A vote for Obama is a vote for the impoosible dream, in essence a FREE EDUCATION. There is nothing in life that is free.

    The Briber-in-Chief is using Chicago political tactics more and more every day because he's running scared. His charisma won him the office because he pulled the wool over the eyes of his supporters. Now that the woolen cloth is unraveling, he resorts to what he considers his strongest weapons – lies, blame. bribes, threats, Soros and ACORN. Down with the dictator-wannabe.
