Why is it that there is a nursing shortage in Texas?  Why aren't you living/working somewhere that you find the poverty rate to be acceptable?  How do you want to lower the poverty rate in Texas?  The poverty rate in Texas is unacceptable and is attributable to Governor Perry but the National Poverty rate is not attributable to Mr Obama?  Very interesting and extremely convenient.  Am I understanding you correctly?  Do you believe we can legislate poverty away?   Do you believe the government can eliminate poverty?  If you do, google "War on Poverty" and all the trillions that have been spent on it over the last 50 years and let me know why the poverty rate is little changed.  So the rich get richer and the poor get poorer?  Is the answer to that problem confiscating (via the tax code) more on the rich and simply GIVING it to the poor or should we find more and better ways to make the poor capable of improving their lot in life?  I would think that even you could admit and acknowledge that the government is a very poor manager ( as proven UNEQUIVOCALLY by the current VA mess) and should not be looked upon as the answer to every social and economic ill there is.  One more thing:  When you do your research on the internet, don't confine that research to ThinkProgress.Org

Not saying that at all.  But I believe you attach too much importance to grade point averages.  Furthermore, the degree opens the door for you, but you still have to produce and are NOT ENTITLED to anything by the degree except  for a first chance.  There is little, if any correlation between grade point averages and success after college. 

And crumbs is a very apt description of what is left after a giant, incompetent, and inefficient bureaucracy gets its hands on the bread.

From my perspective, any reasonable and sensible person who "stands up to Obama" (politically) is a hero.  From my perspective, Mr. Obama is an idealogue whose only priority is social justice regardless of the cost involved.

SOME STILL do not comprehend the FACT that to disagree with Obama  DOES  NOT equal racism.  But racism is an easy default argument when one doesnt understand anything else.

We have got to stop microanalyzing every word and every breath taken by every person.  Hypersensitivity is consuming us.

Of course you dont want him to succeed.  He believes that ultimately, one lifts HIMSELF/HERSELF out of adversity and dedicates his/her time and efforts to bettering himself/herself rather than lamenting about his/her situation and how unfair it is.  Nobody is saying that the poor shouldnt be helped.  What they are saying is that we need a system that encourages the poor to get themselves out of their circumstances rather than making them believe there is a certain "nobility" to their circumstances and there is no limit to the amount of time that they can remain on govt assistance.

Sorry- In retrospect, perhaps he wasn't the best choice at the time.  All the Hope. change, transparency, etc etc was pure unadulterated BS.

Dove, sounds like you are making a case FOR Fox news.  They do the exact same thing.  They mention things that your crowd plus 99% of the media wont.  If it hadnt been for Fox, we wouldnt know anything about Benghazi and the IRS Scandal and the VA deaths would have been unknown as well.

If we could just get rid of the tea party, then these type of activities would never occur.

No worse than you would feel if the called them the Houston _______ .  Note the political correctness.  Isnt it interesting that you can use a racially derogatory term and it is seemingly alright but if I had filled in the blanks, I would be crucified, fired from my job and sent to "sensitivity training"

First thing that comes to mind is that it is a current event and not something from the past.

The reason, sir, that there are so many broke little guys is that, aside from section 8 housing, obamacare, long term unemployment, food stamps, and free cell phones, you aren't doing enough to support those who need "just a little temporary boost"

The ULTIMATE HYPOCRISY is for a Democrat to lecture a Republican on wasted taxpayer dollars.

But its ok to outlaw Big Gulp soft drinks in New York.

Yes, I once listened to someone from Occupy Wall Street tell me why their movement was so noble.

What is taking place with the VA right now is a very good indicator of what will happen with Obamacare.  An ineffective and inefficient government ( with accountability to nobody) trying to run a business that it cant handle.

Its unnatural to talk about unnatural sex
